The Juppy Baby Walker Review + Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Reef Indy is only five-months old; therefore Oma thought that the “Juppy” might be too advanced for his enjoyment. Boy was Oma totally incorrect.

This energetic young toddler loved his Juppy Baby Walker Momentum experience.

The Juppy "Momentum" is a solution to a previously recognized but unsolved challenge for parents of babies beginning to walk. Babies strong enough to begin walking but not strong enough to walk alone.

The Juppy builds confidence in your baby and teaches balance while you maintain your natural posture, eliminating the grueling task of hunching over while teaching your baby to walk.

Oma was very pleased with the quality of this product.

• Made of 100% Breathable Cotton
• Free Matching Satin Drawstring Bag
• Velcro Straps That Provide Added Safety and Adjustment
• The Only Baby Walker That Fits In A Purse!
• Longer Adjustable Straps That Work For Even The Tallest Person

Oma was also excited about the enjoyment and exercise the Juppy provide Reef Indy. The Juppy is definitely “must have” for any new Mother or Oma!

What a great baby shower gift idea.

Diet Soda Diaster

Oma gave up drinking all soda's years ago.  However, just in case she wants a diet soda with dinner; these are important factors to remember.

Disaster Soda!

“Disaster” is a much better name, because this product does a disaster to your body and your meal plan! .

 

• Harvard noted that women who drank 2 sodas daily had a decline in kidney function .
• Diet_Cola1University of Minnesota determined that women who drink one lite soda daily have more belly flab than women who do not drink sodas .
• University of Texas realized that two or more cans a day increased women’s waistlines by 500% .
• Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia determined that diet soda as a mixer in a cocktail actually makes the drinker more drunk while drinking and more hung over after .
• University of Sheffield in England discovered a preservative in soda that is linked to asthma, hives, and other allergies .
• University of Michigan linked soda drinking to a decline in teeth health and the appearance of more cavities, too

 

Honestly, do you need any more reasons to put down the soda and pick up the water?

Reef's First Superbowl

Are you ready for some Football!?! Reef Indy's first Super Bowl.

NFL Super Bowl XLVIII

02/02/2014 - 3:30 PM

MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

Seattle Seahawks 48 vs Denver Broncos 8

Super Bowl XLVIII started out bad for the Denver Broncos. The Seattle Seahawks made sure it got worse. Seattle romped 43-8 by playing a suffocating defense and taking advantage of four Denver turnovers, including two interceptions thrown by quarterback Peyton Manning, the NFL's most valuable player for the season.





Poor Reef will probably need therapy soon.
However, he seemed to enjoy all the hoopla!

5:2 Diet And Training January 2014 - Month 1

Just a quick update on Oma’s progress on the 5:2 Diet which started on 01/01/2014. Just as the majority of society, the notion of losing all that excess poundage quickly and without much effort had sabotaged all previous campaigns to obtain and maintain a healthy-flattering weight.

This year was different. This year, there was the Reef Indy stimulus and Oma desires to maintain the vigor and vitality to keep up with the bouncing infant.

Therefore this year, Oma was committed to go forth with a different assertiveness. The 5:2 Diet appeared to be the precise routine for a slow and sustainable lifestyle change goaled at that noble objective.

Every month, Oma will report back on her progress and whether or not the commitment would be extended another month.

Okay so first, the information that everyone wants to discover. Did Oma lose weight in the last thirty-one days?

Oma lost seven (7) pounds in the
month of January 2014!

While that loss is not “Biggest Loser” noteworthy – Oma is ecstatic!

January was strictly observed on the 5:2 diet. While it was not always easy; it really was not all that hard either! It is much easier giving up that homemade tostado if you can tell yourself that you only have to wait until the next day to satisfy that craving.

Also, Oma has never heard of a diet where she can enjoy an occasional glass of Maple Crown Royal and not be cheating!

The 5:2 diet appears to be assisting Oma in portion control on the non-fast days. Oma still enjoys her favorite foods; however she is sated by much less on her plate. Oma is also becoming more aware of the calories connected to the sustenance consumed.

Oma has upgraded her three days on the treadmill to:

• two days on the treadmill;
• at least two days of the 5:2 workouts;
• at least two twenty-minute hikes per week.

This varied exercise program as proved to be much more engaging.

5:2 tip – remember to drink lots of water, every day. Oma strives to consume at least 100 ounces.

Be back next month with (hopefully) another uplifting 5:2 report. Please leave Oma a comment and let her know if you have tried this or another weight loss technique.
