Arctic Zero Review and GIVEAWAY!!!



Here's some info about Arctic Zero from their website:
Arctic Zero® has created and brought to market one of the lowest calorie soft serve products, Carbawhey®, several years ago. Now they have taken their idea a step further. They have created a "super dessert"--a product that provides top nutrition, has no drawbacks, and appeals to everyone who wants a frozen dessert experience that's actually good for them. 
***********************************************
My Review: 11/10!

I can't believe you can eat an ENTIRE PINT of ice-cream for only 150 calories!!! Arctic Zero is AWESOME! Not only is it low calorie, it is PACKED WITH PROTEIN! 14 grams per pint!! 

The texture was in between ice-cream and a popsicle. (Kinda like sherbet) 




Would you like a chance to try some of this DELICIOUS-NESS for FREE?!?!?

This or That?

This or That?
1.  Run/workout in the heat and humidity or freezing temps and snow?
I am USUALLY cold and I HATE it... so I DEFINITELY prefer the HEAT!!  
2. Have washboard abs or flat abs?
I definitely like seeing the definition in my abs lately... but I'm going to be happy with the body God has given me. I don't want to play the comparison game anymore... :)
3. Dr. Oz or The Doctors?
I don't watch.
4. Cardio or strength?
I LOVE STRENGTH TRAINING! Having more muscle makes me feel better! Strong is the new skinny! :) But, I do love SPIN and DANCE IT OUT for some cardio too! 

5. Cravings: Protein or carbs?
I LOVE CARBS, but recently I have become a HUGE fan of PROTEIN! I used to be concerned with Fiber and Fat on the labels, but now I look for PROTEIN on everything!!! :) It's fuel for those muscles!! 
 6. Jillian Michaels or Bob Harper?
Jillian Michaels. 
7. Frozen Yogurt or Ice Cream?

FRO-YO! Fo' Sho' - It's SOOOOO GOOD!!! Wedding Cake is THE BEST FLAVOR. Hands down! 
8. To train: Upper body or Lower body?
I love upper body workouts. I need to do more lower body stuff to balance it out though. I'm working on it! Jared showed me some awesome leg/butt exercises, so I'm incorporating those into my MWF routines! 
9. Protein powder or food with protein?


I have reviewed some DELICIOUS protein powders and bars lately. They are SO tasty and convenient! I LOVE THEM! But, I can't deny that I love a good hunk of chicken :) 
10. Lunges or squats? 
I don't like either, but I've recently started doing them, like I said in the previous question. If I had to pick one, I would choose squats! 
11. Sweet or salty?
Depends on my mood at the time. If I'm indulging in something sweet, I go FULL FORCE! I'm not one of those people who say, "Oh, this is just too rich for me, I can only have one bite." If I'm actually eating a sweet, I'm gonna eat the WHOLE DARN THING! ;) 
12. Workout attire: cute or comfy?

COMFY CUTE! :) I like to feel good while I'm working out, so comfy cute is the ultimate situation! haha 
13. Body Pump or Heavy lifting?
 I'm not a fan of body pump. I prefer doing my own thing or with Jared in the weight room. I don't do well with the choreographed stuff in body pump. I like to go at my own pace. 
14. Yoga or Pilates?
Pilates. I like finding out new moves to use in my own routine. I don't really feel like yoga is a super tough workout. But, it is nice to do it once in a while to stretch and just wind down. 
15. Nike or Adidas?
ADIDAS!!! Jared wears Adidas stuff for golf all the time, so naturally, I've become an ADIDAS groupie! :)
16. Running on the treadmill or outdoors?
Neither - I HATE running! haha. I like to DANCE and SPIN! 
If I were training for a race – it would be a MUST to be outside! It is obviously more like race conditions!
17. Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s?
Trader Joe’s!  Whole foods is nice, but WAY TOO EXPENSIVE for my budget! 
18. Summer or Winter Olympics?
Summer Olympics!  This is the first year I've really watched them and I'm LOVING it! Gymnastics is my favorite competition so far! 
19. Exercises classes or Exercise videos?
Classes!  I love meeting new people and developing friendships with others who enjoy doing the same stuff that I do! 
20. Steamed veggies or roasted veggies?
Steamed! Quick and easy!

New Chapter...

This summer has been an absolute BLAST!! I have gone to FCA Camp, Myrtle Beach, Destin, and I am flying to Minneapolis this weekend! It has been NON-STOP fun!








 I've had a blast with my wonderful boyfriend, Jared, his family, and my family. I've had plenty of POOL DAYS with my friends. I've babysat precious little kids. I cannot complain one bit! :)







But, starting next week, I will be in TEACHER mode. I have orientation with my parents on the 9th, and our first half day is on August 13. I can't believe I'm actually a TEACHER. I'm no longer the student teacher who is under the guidance of a mentor teacher. I'm ON MY OWN and I won't lie, I'm a little nervous. BUT, I know that "I can do ALL things through CHRIST who strengthens me!" - Phil 4:13. 


My other 1st grade teacher is wonderful and very helpful. I know we are going to have a great year! I'm so excited to meet my students! 

On one hand, I'm sad that I won't be around my friends in college 24/7 like I used to, but I am happy to start this new chapter in my life. God has really blessed me! 


Talk to me... what new chapter have you entered into your life recently or about to enter?

Nutrilite Protein Bars Review


Nutrilite sent me some of their Cinnamon Bun Protein Bars to review and host a GIVEAWAY!!!! Get excited!!!!




My Review:

10/10!

First of all, these bars tasted VERY close to an actual cinnamon bun! I loved the texture. It was dense and chewy! I enjoyed the bits of walnuts sprinkled on top. This bar kept me full for a few hours! It was the perfect afternoon snack and post-workout fuel! 

YUM!

Shakeology Review


Here's some info about Shakeology:
Shakeology uses a proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics to gently and efficiently eliminate toxins. Then a combination of antioxidants, phytonutrients, adaptogens, and many other rare ingredients give your body the essential nutrients you can’t get from a normal diet. You get a salad bowl’s worth of fruits and vegetables in a single glass.
Whole-food ingredients—all-natural foods that still maintain the vitamins, minerals, and fiber often stripped from highly processed foods—deliver these nutrients to help your body shed stored fat and promote optimum health.



I was sent the Tropical Strawberry Flavor to review.

8/10

It was great mixed with ice for a simple smoothie, but if I was to try it again, I would add some fruit and yogurt to give it a little more pizazz! The interesting thing that I really tasted was CINNAMON. It was definitely something that I'd never tasted in a smoothie before. I drank this before my DANCE IT OUT workout and it made me energized and kept me full through my entire workout! 

Please visit their website and give Shakeology a try!
