First Time Mom and Losing It

Today is the first day that I am following the Dr. Oz 2 Week Rapid Weight-Loss Plan. (Click Here to read my first post about the Plan with links to all the information you will need.) As soon as I woke up I drank a cup of hot water with 1/2 of a lemon squeezed in. I also took one probiotic and 1/2 of a multi-vitamin. I didn't like the water too much. No fun drinking something super sour in the morning.

During the day I snacked on some veggies like carrots sticks and some nuts. I also ate my daily Greek yogurt and some pickles. For dinner I was in a rush so couldn't think of something better so it was baked chicken breast, brown rice and some veggies. Didn't enjoy the meal too much. The veggies had corn in it which I wasn't supposed to have but I didn't have time to pick them out.



Overall I felt fine and didn't feel hungry at all. The only complaint I have is that I crave something sweet. Finishing the night with a detox bath, then the other half of my multi-vitamin and a green tea.

I just had to review this great app after seeing my daughter successfully use it. I kept reading about the Peekaboo Barn app from several magazines and mommy websites. I decided to download it and try it with my daughter when she was about 6 months old. At that time she wasn't too interested in my phone so I would play it for her on a long car ride or when she was fussy. She would always automatically look at the screen when she heard the animal noises.


Right after my daughter turned one she started to use my iPhone and iPad like a tiny little tech savy person. She knows how to turn it on, use the home button, press the buttons and click on her favorite apps. She would look at peekaboo barn from time to time. I would hear her imitate the animal names.



A few weeks ago I was completely proud when my daughter could say every single animal on the app. She would hear the sound the animal made, click on the barn doors and say each name. I also noticed her picking out and saying the animals names if they popped up on the TV or in one of her books. I had an appointment today at the doctor's office where there was a horse. She pointed it out and said horse!

I have to thank Peekaboo Barn for that. It is a simple and colorful app with many cute animals. First you hear an animal noise then you click on the door to reveal the animal. A few seconds later the word pops up and it is also said out loud.

With the new updates you can change it to many different languages. Since my daughter knows all the animals in English we now set it in Spanish. So far she has gotten a few down. You can also record your own voice for each animal.



I really recommend getting this app if you have a baby or toddler. Really worth the money. I know they have it for iPhone and I believe that have it in the google play store too.

Are there any great toddler apps your child loves?

**I was not compensated nor received a sample or product in any away from the company. I chose to review this product on my own because I felt that it would be useful to my readers.

After seeing the Dr. Oz episode last week about the 2 Week Rapid Weight-Loss Plan I decided to give it a try. I think following something were you see the number going down on the scale quick will keep anyone get motivated to continue on with the weight-loss journey.

Episode of the Dr. Oz 2 Week Rapid Weight-Loss Plan

With this diet you eat tons of vegetables, limit your animal protein and dairy, and eat only good fats. There is also a detox bath you do. You are also encouraged to sip on Green Tea. These are things I can definitely see myself doing.

It took me a few days to locate all of the items on the shopping list. I had to go to two GNC's to finally find the rice protein powder. I had to go to a couple of supermarkets to get the plain yogurt.

Shopping List

I know this diet may not be for everyone. I know a lot of you may have an opinion against this diet. I know a lot of people are thinking just moderate what you eat and exercise. I just keep putting off this weight loss journey so for me getting all the ingredients and having my plan ready actually makes me excited to start this journey.

I will be blogging about my experience on this diet here. I will be writing about what I ate, how I feel and giving recipes that follow the plan. I will definitely stop if I don't feel well on this diet.

Wish me luck! :)
