This Giveaway has now ended!

So I have been doing my Mamas Challenge, for a week and I will be doing an update every week and a Giveaway every other Wednesday!

So the hardest thing this first week has been giving up Mt. Dew! I have been having huge withdrawals, I know it sounds stupid having caffeine withdrawals, but you can get major headaches and other issues

even if you just don't drink as much! So on top of having a cute little two year old headache; I now have caffeine withdrawal headaches.

So far I have been walking/jogging at least 4 miles almost every day. I pass by at least two parks, so the kids have been loving this as well! I have also started watching my calories (not in a super

obsessive way) just so I can make sure I am staying on track. I will let you know how things are going next week!

 

The other day my Mother-In Law was making something that I thought looked kind of odd and as I was looking at the package I thought it was a joke! I know these are horrible pictures, but if you look at the nutrition facts on the first one you will see why I am so shocked! The number I am surprised by is 0 and it's on everything! 0 Calories, 0 Fat, 0 Protein! I now have seen it all! This is a yam cake (not to be confused with sweet potatoes) You won't get any calories or fat from it and you will actually get negative calories with this because of the calories you will burn eating and digesting it! I had know idea such a food existed!

So I thought I would try it! I was hoping to replace one meal a day with this. It would be dangerous to only eat this all day because it also doesn't have any vitamins, minerals or protein that you need.

So it also comes in a noodle form so I put it in a pot and put some soy sauce with it. It has no flavor so you have to add some sort of seasoning. My husband just starred at me laughing while I was preparing to take my first bite. It has no flavor like I said so I wasn't worried about it tasting bad, but I just couldn't get over the texture! It was so rubbery! I just kept chewing and chewing until I just had to finally swallow it. Needless to say this won't be the miracle weight loss food I was hoping for! Oh wellSmile

So for our first "Workout Wednesday Giveaway" I will be giving one lucky winner a copy of Zumba Fitness for Wii!
