Life Style Changes

Recently I decided to do a review that goes hand in hand with what I found out from my doctor last week. He told me I am diabetic. Now if any of you really read my blog, you will know I am a BIG snacker. So when the doctor told me this news and he told me that it would be life altering, I think it hit me worse that when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Because deep down inside I knew I would beat the cancer, whereas Diabetes sticks with me for life. It's depressing. I have felt all kinds of emotions, scared, angry, sad and much more. Well this is kind of where my next review comes in. Have you ever heard of Habitwise? From the website: Habitwise products are designed to help you make better decisions while you develop healthy habits. Habitwise however is not a substitute for medical advice. So Habitwise sent me getLoss for women. This includes: Bracelets. They have warm and cool colors, I chose the warm colors. They also have getLoss for men, getTracking for kids, getWet for both men and women.

2-yellow bracelets (stands for oil choices)
3-white bracelets (stands for milk choices)
3-purple bracelets (stands for meat choices)
6-green bracelets(stands for vegetable choices)
3-pink bracelets(stands for fruit choices)
5-gold bracelets(stands for grain choices)
8-blue bracelets (stands for water choices)






There are 2 scenarios to use the getLoss which are: Following food Groups, or Counting Calories. I chose Counting Calories. I started by visiting MyPyramind.gov. According to them because of my weight and height I need to be on an 1,800 cal daily diet, which I brought down to 1,500 calories.

So what you start out with every morning on one wrist, I chose my left to start is 30 bracelets. One bracelet is 50 calories so as I eat my calories I move the bracelets to the right wrist. EX: I eat an orange-100 calories, then I move 2 bracelets to the right wrist then when you have moved all bracelets, you have eaten your 1500 calorie diet. You get the idea. Well I was very skeptical at first, and there were a few days that I didn't do what I was supposed too, too busy and forgot to count the calories, or forgot to move the bracelets. But once I got used to it, I used it and buckled down and really paid attention and it has helped. I have lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks. Not a lot but it's a start. It's a very interesting weight loss program, however I don't think it's for everyone. I liked it, but not really sure how long I will stick with it. Visit Habitwise and see for yourself.

Habitwise is giving one of my readers a chance to win a getLoss for women kit. All you have to do is visit Habitwise and choose the kit you would like to try and also tell me a little about the history of Habitwise.
