I just finished watching the first season of Ruby on DVD. Ruby is a woman that lives in Savannah, Georgia and has struggled with her weight since she was a child. She is now morbidly obese. Today, she weighs over 400 pounds and quite honestly, it’s killing her.
Ruby was Recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. The doctor flat out told her that she has to lose the weight if she wants to live. The show chronicles what may be her last chance to take off hundreds of pounds in an attempt to save her own life.
The Style Network has pulled together an expert team to help Ruby do it. She now has a trainer, nutritionist, a therapist, and a physician.
Ruby is a very pretty woman with an awesome personality. It’s easy to like her and to want to watch her succeed.
She has a bunch of awesome friends that are there to help her and not sugarcoat it. I am hooked on Ruby and watching her journey. She lost 100 lbs in this first season!
I have 5 copies of Ruby: A Journey to Lose the First 100 Pounds to give away! If you need some inspiration to lose, even if it’s just 5 lbs this will give you that drive! The DVD has a suggested retail price of $14.98.

Ok, I’m going to tell you what has been my lifesaver lately. I’m a smoothie freak, but I burn through blenders like mad! I’m on the lookout for a blender that can match my smoothie wrath. So far…the blender always loses.
So, here I am blenderless and trying so, so hard not to get a Starbucks or a Bahama Bucks.
I need a dang smoothie!
Being an on the go mom it can be hard to get in a good meal. I’m really trying to be healthier and going to the gym. I need something fast that I can take with me. I recently got a chance to try outMix1and that totally filled my smoothie void!
Mix1 has two products. The original product is an enhanced protein shake. It has 15 grams of whey protein isolate, 23 vitamins and minerals and the antioxidant equivalent of 3 servings of fruits and vegetables! The newest product is a hi-antioxidant fiber drink. It has the antioxidant equivalent of 9 servings of fruits and vegetables, 9 grams of whey protein isolate, and 8 grams of soluble fiber.
Why are antioxidants important?
Antioxidants absorb free radicals in the human body. Free radicals can break down healthy cells and potentially lead to a variety of health problems, sickness and disease. It is important to get antioxidants in order to neutralize cell-damaging free radicals.
The enhanced protein shake is a great workout shake. It provides up to 4 hours of balanced energy! The hi-antioxidant shake is best consumed with a meal or as a snack.
The taste and flavor variety are unbelievable!
Enhanced Protein shake
Blueberry-Vanilla
Lime (My favorite)
Mango
Mixberry
Tangerine
Hi-antioxidant fiber drink
Dark-Berry
Orange-Carrot
These drinks are thick! It is truly like drinking a smoothie! They really make you feel like you are having some sweet treat, not something good for you. But, they are good for you! Perfect for someone like me that just needs a little bad goodness, without really being bad! I am not ever hungry in the mornings but I know I need to have something to make my metabolism work right. These are perfect for me to drink and give me a good burst of energy that I need to get going in the morning.
I also do not consume enough protein in my diet which is very important for my health and weight loss. By drinking Mix1 I am getting a very good source of protein.
The Benefits of protein:
builds & repairs muscle and encourages bone growth
supports healthy metabolism & fat loss
provides a source of energy
supports healthy & stable blood sugar levels
I had the kids taste test these too and they were a huge hit! I love them, the kids love them. I would say we will definitely add these to the shopping list!
The MSRP is $2.29 for the enhanced protein shake and $2.69 for the hi-antioxidant fiber drink. So much cheaper than getting a smoothie at Bahama Bucks and the Mix1 drink is good for me!
Mix1 is sold nationally at Kroger and Whole Foods Market; regionally at King Soopers, Albertsons, Fred Meyer, Costco, Jewel-osco, Ralphs, HEB, City Market and QFC; as well as at independent grocery retailers across the United States.
So today was the day…weigh in and measurements at Curves. Well, it’s that time of the month for me, so she said she would weigh me next week. Anyhow, she went ahead and measured me and I am going to share the changes so far with you.
Now keep in mind, I have only went 10 times. I planned to go at least 5 times a week…well this horrid pain and some other stress crap messed me up. But now, no more excuses. I feel better after I go anyhow! After working out I am in way less pain.
Here are the results of my first check after 10 workouts:
Bust: No Change…those girls are not gonna budge.
Waist: 3/4 inch lost
Abdomen: 1 inch lost
His: 1/4 inch lost
Thighs 1/2 inch lost each leg = 1 inch lost!
Arms: No change
Body Fat lost was 2lbs
Weight lost, not sure. I will know next week after Aunt Flo has went home.
I know it doesn’t seem like a lot, but after only 10 work outs seeing a change is a big boost! Who knows, my measurements may be different next week as well. I am always puffy during my period.
I really enjoy going to Curves. The owner Marnee is super nice and helpful. She is more than willing to give advice or a push!
Today’s Juice in the City deal is a great one! For only $29, you get 1 month of boot camp at Great Shape Fit Club, a weight loss boot camp. 
I just finished watching the first season of 
working out I am in way less pain.
