The Fast Metabolism Diet Mommy Party #MommyParties

I am a bit late posting but I had a wonderful opportunity to host a Mommy Party for Haylie Pomproy new book The Fast Metabolism Diet.So a few of my friends were also able to get book as well as a few other goodie.

About The Book:

 Haylie Pomroy has helped countless clients lose up to 20 pounds in just 4 weeks –all through the fat-burning power of food. Hailed as “the metabolism whisperer,” Haylie reminds us that food is not the enemy, it’s the rehab needed to rev-up your sluggish, broken-down metabolism and turn your body into a fat-burning furnace.

On this plan you’re going to eat a lot. You’re going to eat three full meals and at least two snacks a day – and you’re still going to lose weight. What you’re not going to do is count a single calorie or fat gram. You’re going not to ban entire food groups. You’re not going to go carb-free or vegan or go cold turkey on the foods you love. Instead, you’re going to rotate what you’re eating throughout each week according to a simple and proven plan carefully designed to induce precise physiological changes that will set your metabolism on fire.

Phase I (Monday-Tuesday): Lots of carbs and fruits
Phase II (Wednesday-Thursday): Lots of proteins and veggies
Phase III (Friday-Sunday): All of the above, plus healthy fats and oils

By keeping your metabolism guessing in this specific and deliberate way, you’ll get it working faster. This isn’t just a theory, it’s the results-based product of Haylie Pomroy’s successful programs.  It’s worked for celebrities, for athletes, and for people with chronic illnesses who need to lose weight, doctor’s orders.  Now it’s going to work for you.

In 4 weeks not only will you see the weight fall off, you’ll also see your cholesterol drop, your blood sugar stabilize, your energy increase, your sleep improve, and your stress dramatically reduce. All thanks to the miraculous power of real, delicious, satisfying food!

Plus, by switching up what you’re eating every few days, you’ll get to enjoy a greater variety of foods, so your palate will never feel bored or deprived.  Complete with 4 weeks of meal plans and over 50 recipes – including vegetarian,organic, and gluten-free options – this is the silver bullet for the chronic dieter who has tried every fad diet and failed, the first time dieter attempting to kick her metabolism into gear, and anyone who wants to naturally and safely eat her way to a skinner, healthier self.

It seemed like since I first received this opportunity that I've been seeing Haylie Pomproy and the book everywhere not only was I excited to read it but so were my guests.Making it that much more exciting at the party.

I was also given some buttons,recipe cards and coupons so my guests could try some Applegate products.Yummy

and to drink Celestial Seasonings Peppermint flavor Herbal Tea.

and try some Artisana Raw cashew butter.I had no idea what this would taste like but I'm happy to say it was delicious...


I also made a few dishes from the book  Pepperoncini Pork Roast and Watermelon smoothie to name a few, but don't get me wrong the party was about more than just eating.there were also discussion about the book.We did a few activities like Phase of Fitness,Filling out the food Diary that was on page 101 of the book.Overall it was a lot of fun and a complete success.

Forget Me Not Book 2 The Mystic Wolves Series review

Forget Me Not (#2, The Mystic Wolves) The Second book in the Mystic Wolves Series by Belinda Boring starts off right where the first book in the series ends with Darcy and Mason only here somes new trouble Masons Crazy ex Amber enters the picture Claiming to be his future mate.Amber Claims Asylum claiming her father made her and claiming she is in danger from her father and the rest ofher pack,but still  stops at nothing to try to reclaim Mason as her mate .Darcy and Mason with the help of Devlin Fight to keep their pack together.

 This Book is Phenemenol I loved the first book but this one was far better Belinda Boring's writing is so decriptive and intense you feel like you are right there with the characters.I felt so bad for the mystic wolves and all they had already been through in the first book including the loss of Mason's sister Jasmine and was shocked at the lengths Amber goes through to try to win Mason back .Amber's charater is the kind you love to hate and Devlin seems to be the perfect allie (seriously I love Devlin ) The story ends with a cliffhanger having you drool for more.

Right now you can get Belinda's First Book in the Series The Mystic Wolves Free!!!

A Chance of Fate By Emleigh Walsh Book Review

I have been reading Paranormal Romance for awhile now and never been dissapointted this book was no exception.This is the first book I've read by Emleigh Walsch and the first book involving Werewolves.If you like Paranormal books or are looking to read one for the first time this book is for you.It is well written and flows easy you really get to know the main character Steph and Chance as well as their background and the advenure.


HE'S TERRIFIED
Chance McGregor is known as one of the toughest werewolves around. As the Dominion Creek Pack Guardian it’s his job to protect the pack and its laws. Even if that requires him to find his true mate or mate with someone of the council’s choosing. With the Mating Ceremony fast approaching – and Chance a very unwilling participant – he has more on his mind than pack safety. It’s enough to make even the baddest werewolf whine like a puppy.

SHE’S IN CONTROL Stephanie Taylor is finally making her way in the world. She’s out of a bad marriage, starting a business with her best friend in a great new town, and in control of her stable – if not sometimes boring – life. She can handle boring and she doesn’t need a man to tell her what’s best for her anymore.

WHAT’S A WOLF TO DO? When Chance runs into Stephanie on the street, he realizes that he found his woman. The problem is she’s a human. Not a problem for him though. Now all he has to do is convince her that they are meant to be together forever; talk the ever-meddling pack council into allowing the mating; and protect his pack from a group of rogue wolves wreaking havoc across the state. With their hearts, and lives, on the line Chance and Stephanie will do the only thing they can…
