My BlogSpark, MultiGrain Cheerios® and The Biggest Loser Club® Review and Giveaway!

Are you a fan of the show, The Biggest Loser? I actually love that show, regardless of the fact that I'm not overweight. It's great to see people working together to become healthier! I think if I had to make a resolution, it would be to eat and drink healthier - and to ultimately become healthier this year.

I started my water intake regimen in November (when I started to get sick)...I HATED water and I can't tell you how many people have told me that you "acquire" a taste for it once you start drinking it...I won't go THAT far, but I will say that my body now craves it. Or, maybe I notice the fact that my body craves it more, because I started drinking it. I like a lot of ice in it, nice and cold. I'm now up to 4 tall glasses per day and working on increasing it to one more soon.

So, My BlogSpark sent me an email offering to send me a prize pack for the Multigrain Cheerios Biggest Loser at Home Spark!

Even though I'm not on the track to losing weight, I definitely love the purple canvas bag (perfect for the gym), the water bottle and the little container with the cover! That little container - half of the top snaps open for little fingers to reach into - has been wonderful to put cereal in and let Dakoda run around the house with! He now asks for his cereal in HIS bowl. :)

And, if you have little ones, the little cereal bowl with the cover is perfect for on-the go!
The MultiGrain Cheerios are not my favorite, honestly, but add some sugar - the big No-No! - and they taste good!!!

If you are trying to lose weight, MultiGrain Cheerios has some awesome tools for you on their website! I was watching The Doctors (one of "my shows") the other day and they were talking getting healthier, too. They said that it's hard to know exactly how to lose weight if you don't know your "numbers". What they mean by this is that you should know your body mass index, fat content, etc...

So, you can go to the MutliGrain Cheerios and enter in the code from your cereal box and Viola! They have:

• A Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator. It will help you figure out how much weight you need to lose (or gain) to fall into the "healthy" category, which is also the area you need to be in to avoid serious health issues.
• A 7 Day Plan combining daily meal plans with cardio/strength training routines exclusively for you.
• 15 yummy recipes that will fuel your body.
• Daily workouts that pair cardio w/mobility and resistance exercises, focused on major muscle groups.

They also emphasize that people who eat whole grains are more likely to have healthier body weights, which is why MultiGrain Cheerios is a great breakfast cereal for you (without adding the sugar like I do) if you are trying to get healthier. And, on my show, The Doctors, the other day, they mentioned that you should eat your breakfast within an hour of waking in order to get the maximum effect.

Oh, and drink your water!!! It will help you lose weight! And your body NEEDS it!
