HCG and Dieting

HCG  (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) also know as the pregnancy hormone is a very much needed hormone for human growth.  When women are pregnant this hormone doubles about every two days.  The HCG is a natural hormone found in the body and metabolizes to give both the other and fetus the much needed energy.  I know when I was pregnant especially there towards the end, it was hard to find the energy to do much but sit and wait.

In a person that is not pregnant, the body stores the fat and uses it at a later date as needed.  If the body stores too much fat then the body can not use up all the fat and it just gets stored for life.  To keep from becoming over weight we as humans tend to try the starvation diet that doesn't work because I body is needing the nutrients it isn't getting.  By increasing your HCG levels and a low calorie diet you can trick your body into unlocking those fat cells and start losing weight while having much, much, more energy.  It is a win-win situation!

Money Personalities ~Review & Giveaway~

 
 
 
About The 5 Money Personalities
The hidden key to a healthy relationship is not just managing money but understanding how the other approaches money.
Every couple argues about money. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been married for 40 years or dating for 4 months, money touches every decision you make as a couple—from the $5 cup of coffee to the $50,000 car. And when the two of you don’t see eye-to-eye on how much to spend or how much to save, that’s when arguments turn into ugly toxic fights that leave both persons feeling hurt and angry. It’s why money has become the #1 cause of divorce in the U.S. Obviously, something needs to change. The reason this crisis has not been addressed is because it has never been identified, defined, or given a name. Scott and Bethany Palmer, aka “The Money Couple,” have identified and defined this problem and offer concrete solutions to fix it.
Once you know your Money Personality, you can get to the root of money arguments and start really working together. You’ll discover what has an impact on your loved one’s money decisions, and you’ll learn how to talk about money in a way that’s actually fun! You’ll figure out how to put an end to money secrets and lies once and for all.
It’s not just about money management, and it’s definitely not just about overcoming debt. It is a whole new way of living that will change everything in your relationship. Tens of thousands have already been transformed. Are you ready?

My thoughts:
This is a very interesting book to say at least!  I learned that I actually have several different personalities when it comes to money management and so does my husband but for the most part we are a lot alike.  The book not only tells you what kind of money management personality you have but it also helps you better understand the other personalities and how to handle situations that arise.

As a married couple we find ourselves fighting over simple things like money and the kids.  With a little help and from 5 money personalities that there are ways to breathe, calm down and then discuss the issue at hand.  I found that this book helps not only with money issues but you can translate it to work with any part of your life and marriage.

I highly recommend this book for anyone that is looking to save money, better manage your money, and have a happier marriage and lifestyle.  But for one lucky reader I have one book to give away!  Just follow the rafflecopter rules and one could be yours today! 

Good Luck :)

Disposable Wedding Cameras for Everyone

     Today we live in a fast paced society.  Seems like everything we do must be done yesterday and we never really get to enjoy anything.  I know for me I am always pushed to get more and more done but never seeming to get ahead but more like falling behind!

     The same holds true for our special wedding day.  We want to remember our special day and see how happy everyone was but we can't seem to fit in talking with everyone, meeting their guests, taking pictures, eating and cutting the cake, the ceremony, etc.  We miss so much because we have so many things to but I have an answer that will help you see and remember your wedding day like never before.  Disposable wedding cameras have become the trend in the last few years and you can involve everyone at your wedding and see what your guests got to see while you were busy.  Personally I feel you get some better pictures this way because your friends will take fun pictures where the photographer takes your more serious photos of you and your wedding party.  What better way to sit back and remeber all the fun eerone had.  Makes for a perfect wedding album

Letter from Mother to Daughter

 
I found this floating around on Facebook and just thought, this is so true.  I wanted to share with my readers and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
 
 
 
LETTER FROM A MOTHER TO A DAUGHTER:

"My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through.

If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago”... Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same st
ory night after night until you would fall asleep.

When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl?

When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that way... remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life’s issues every day... the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through.

If I occasionally lose track of what we’re talking about, give me the time to remember, and if I can’t, don’t be nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you.

And when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked.

When those days come, don’t feel sad... just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love.

I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I’ve always had for you, I just want to say, I love you... my darling daughter."

     Tom and Sue created this book, they have been married for 31 years and raised 3 boys.  The book took 3 years to develop and design.  It took 18 months to develop software to generate a book.  Every page in every book is unique just like the children that makeup the book.  The child that the book is made for has their face hidden on each and every page.

My Thoughts
 
     Since I have received my book, my girls are infatuated with it.  They have had to take it to Grandma's and everywhere we go.  My daughters Hailey (8) and Riley (4) are just amazed every time that they look at the book.  It is just cool to open up the pages and see your smiling face in an actual book.  When I started looking at the book for the first time, I thought I would never find my child.  However by the end of the book I was able to spot them much easier. This is a great coffee table book and definitely a conversation peice.   
 
     The quality of the book is great.  It is spiraled and has a hardcover.  The pages are made up of great quality paper and the book is very colorful. 
    
     I highly reccommend this book... It is a great gift to give to grandparents, aunts, and special friends.  I have already gotten several people asking where did I get mine and how can they get theres?  Well, here goes for one lucky reader I will be giving one away, and for all others you can order your directly from bammco.
