Dr. Oz lose 10 pounds FREE bracelet by mail

I watched the Dr. Oz show today on Fox while nursing and was inspired by the lose just 10 pounds challenge. It's a lot like Weight Watchers (which I love and need to start up again). You can check out the details on Dr. Oz's site. I write this post because Dr. Oz and Zappos shoes are offering a 100% FREE blue bracelet to help you remember your lose 10 challenge (or your personal weigh,wt loss journey or maintenance). I wanted one to so I thought others might benefit from knowing about this too. I ordered this 100% FREE bracelet for my hubby and I. (One free per e-mail address).

Go here to get your free bracelet.

I plan on wearing it so I will think before I hit the pantry during the mid afternoon hungers, to not snack and "taste" when cooking dinner, and to not indulging in nightly treats as often. Oh and I hope it will be a good reminder to menu plan the veggie packed meals weekly.

What do you do help yourself not fall of the healthy eating wagon?

Copied from their site:

"DoctorOz.com and Zappos.com are teaming up to give you something tangible to wear as a daily reminder that you're worth it. The bracelet has "Just 10" on it so you can let everyone know that you're taking the steps toward a healthier life. Anyone can wear it, and YOU can have one for FREE!"

"When people ask why you wear it, you can tell them the importance losing "Just 10" pounds has on your health. Register for your bracelet today!"

Weight Watchers and my new personal motivation

Is it SPRING yet??? Happy March 2nd everyone. I am still crawling out of an exercise rut. I really don't mind exercising. It's the book of mommy excuses that get me out of it. Laundry, the kids are hungry, sleep, and other commitments. Blah blah. You know what I mean.

So I came up with this visual motivation...to HELP ME!

I used one of my free America First Calendars-Modified and hung in my bathroom!

I included: Motivational quotes, I put a picture of me unhappy and overweight on one side under the star (not shown), a picture of me happy and a healthy weight under the other star (not shown). I write on the day I work out, the distance/speed/time of my treadmill workout, my Weight Watcher weigh ins (I am a lifetime member right now-with more to personally lose), and any resistance training I am doing.

Go for it...Staci-You are worth it!
