Fitmixer Slim Review

As I mentioned in my previous post a few weeks ago I entered into a contest that fitmixer was having. All I did was enter my name and email and choose what type of mix I wanted: slim, protein or amino and hit enter. The first time I entered, I had received an email saying that I didn't win but should come back and try again because the prizes were being given out daily, so I did just that. And the next time I checked my inbox I had an email saying "CONTEST WINNER!" This was extremely exciting for me as I have entered numerous giveaways and have never won anything.


The goal of fitmixer® slim® is to deliver more protein with less sugar, fat, calories, sodium and carbohydrates than the leading national brand in an effort to help you to better meet your weight loss goals. The fitmixer slim comes in two flavors, vanilla and chocolate, which both help to improve metabolism, decrease hunger, and use fat as an energy source to help you lose weight faster.

The other day when I made a shake using the fitmixer slim I was sent, I also used a few other ingredients but today I made it just like the directions said. I added one scoop of the mix with a glass of milk and stirred for 30 seconds. Well after stirring for over 30 seconds, the mix still wasn't mixed in all the way. It just sat on top of the milk and looked really soggy.

So then I poured my glass with the undissolved mix into the Magic Bullet blender and it mixed right up. I don't know why it didn't mix when I just tried stirring it with the spoon but this did the trick. I then tasted the shake and it was good. It tasted chocolatey but not too chocolatey. I can see myself drinking the shake just like this but I really liked it when I added in a scoop of peanut butter the other day.

Overall, I liked the mix and want to try the protein mix next!

Today I went to Panera for lunch with my sister and 2 of my cousins. We were out doing some shopping so we decided to stop in Panera and get the "Choose 2" menu option. I got the Sierra Turkey with extra avocado and tomato, chicken noodle soup, and an apple. It was really good and filled me right up.

Later in the day after I got back home I reorganized the fridge and panty. I am a little OCD so this is actually something I enjoy doing. I enjoyed a vanilla caramel cream Keurig cup with a little bit of sweetener added while I was doing the cleaning. When I was done with that then I finished up wrapping all of the Christmas presents. I am so ready for Christmas to be here! Sunday kicks off the Christmas season as we are celebrating with my step-dad's family at my grandma's house. I am excited for good food and to see family! Alex will also be coming up for this get-together so I am excited to see him because I haven't seen him in a week!

Another exciting thing is that it is snowing today! We might actually have some snow this Christmas :)

I didn't workout today but I am going to a turbo-kick class in the morning with one of my friends! Can't wait!

Scarves for Italy

Yesterday morning I had a doctor's appointment. I fainted a little over a month ago, so it was mainly just a follow-up appointment about that incident. I still have to go get a few tests done to see if I have sugar problems or not but other than that I am completely fine! He just told me to drink more water and talked a little bit about exercising and food intake.

After my appointment I went over to my cousin Rema's house. She is an Art Major and has the opportunity to go to Italy in the summer for a couple of weeks to take a class there and visit some different cities. The trip is quite pricey so to raise some money she has been knitting scarves to sell. So far she has knit 20 scarves and they all look beautiful! She was knitting the whole time we were there except when she was making us lunch. During the time she was making lunch I kept the knitting process going by helping her finish one of the scarves she had been working on. I have been feeling super crafty lately so I really enjoyed helping her. After all 20 scarves were complete, we dropped them off at our aunt's house. She said she would take them into work with her and see if people there wanted to buy them.

This just in! My aunt just texted me saying that she sold 16 of the scarves today and has special orders for 6 more! It looks like they were a big hit! I am sure that Rema could take those scarves to any office and people would buy them. They are adorable and the colors are so pretty!

After visiting with her and some other family members, I headed over to the bank to set up an account for the charity donations. I am excited that this process is really beginning! I have a few other ideas about how to raise money for my aunt's medical expenses but those are just ideas for the time being.

When we got home, Mom had a big pot of chili waiting for us. It was still warm so the cheese melted right in. Yummm

Disclaimer: I didn't actually eat the crackers but my sister, Stephanie, felt they were necessary to add to the photo to make it look pretty.

After dinner I worked on my t-shirt quilt project a little bit more! And will probably go do some more work on it right after I finish this post..

Workout

Today I had to work at noon so I woke up early (9:30!) to get a workout in. I did a workout DVD and it really worked my legs. I am already a little bit sore. After my workout I enjoyed a shake that I made using the fitmixer slim shake mix I received in the mail! I entered a contest a few weeks ago that fitmixer was having and I won!

The shake I made included the fitmixer slim chocolate mix, a big scoop of peanut butter, milk, and ice. It was delicious! I am going to have to try the mix by itself with milk tomorrow and so then I can tell how it really tastes by itself, without the peanut butter flavor thrown in.
