Mommy MD Guide to Losing Weight and Feeling Great: Book Review

Disclaimer:  I received a copy of the Mommy MD Guide to Losing Weight and Feeling Great complimentary through USFamily Guide. As always, my opinions are my own.

Healthy Diet. Exercise. Wow, I really work hard at staying in great shape. There is no magic, we all know that though we wish there were a special magic wand!  It was a special not very fun challenge after my pregnancy.  It took a lot of patience. Lots of patience. So much patience. There are lots of tips and tricks that can help make losing weight and getting into shape easier on a day to day basis though.  I found a great guide recently with some super tips for anyone--this is perfect for any mom wherever you are starting. I so so so wish this had been around after I had my baby. Oh, it would have made my life so much easier.  The Mommy MD Guide to Losing Weight and Feeling Great: This easy to read book has more than 700 tips that 50 doctors who are also mothers have used to slim down, shape up, fight fatigue, boost mood, look great, and live better!  Who couldn't benefit from that? 

They have tons of sensible ideas for losing that baby weight in a healthy manner and taking care of yourself is what the doctor orders! I love it. I so wish that I had this book when I struggled to lose the baby weight after my pregnancy. I had to cobble together helpful hints from my fitness instructors, my doctor, my other healthy moms and so on. This book has all these great ideas and tips from other doctor-moms who went through the same struggles but in one easy to access place. There are no crazy diet fads or overwhelming ideas, just tips that you can pick and choose from that work for you that have worked for other medical professional moms. They share their fave recipes, brands and advice in an easy to digest book that will make you feel good and hopeful about being your best self ever. Give this gift to yourself because you deserve it.

Olay Regenerist: How I re-energize my beautiful skin everyday! @wmagoriginals @OlayUS #olay #myolaymorning

@wmagoriginals @OlayUS #olay #myolaymorning
What to do when you know you start waking up in the mornings and your skin looks dull?  You know what I mean. That 40-something kind of dull. My skin used to look so fresh in the morning when I was younger.  I hardly had to do anything and I looked ready to go.  A touch of makeup and lip gloss. Yikes, what happened? 

I really started to ramp it up a few years ago looking for some better options to help renew my skin so I didn't wake up with that sorry look. Time for the Olay! I don't love to spend a ton of $$ but I want to look great.  My mom had been using Olay products for years and that was one of the brands I turned to. They have some wonderful cleansers, scrubs, moisturizers and eye creams and they have really stepped up the lines in the recent years.  They also don't sit on their laurels...I see Olay keeps updating formulas and packaging.  That includes the Regenerist line of creams, serums and cleansers.  I always liked them and found that they performed well for a bargain price...at least compared to what you will pay at the department stores.  Olay offers an excellent value with many of the key ingredients that really make a difference in your skin.

I recently was the lucky recipient of  a sample of Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging micro-sculpting cream.  One of the first things I noticed was the elegant packaging.  The second thing that caught my eye was "VISIBLE WRINKLE RESULTS START DAY 1!"  Now what could be better than that. I loved the idea of waking up and looking fresher right away.  That is an amazing reward for any tired mama.  I opened the container up and I loved the light scent that wafted up to my nose. Very nice....a little elegant too. The cream felt rich and luxurious when I tried it out on my face. I liked that a  lot....definitely a good start.

I have been using the Olay Regenerist for almost two weeks now and I definitely did see a difference the first day. No tired look in the morning. In fact, after a few days one of my colleagues asked me what makeup I have been using because she needed something to help her skin a little. She was so sweet, she said that my skin was glowing and she needed to get that look!  Boy, I was up in the clouds all day after that comment.

I would recommend the Olay Regenerist line if you are looking for a lift but don't want to spend a bundle. They actually have a whole Regenerist line of products including cleansers, serums, moisturizers and eye treatments. The daytime moisturizers include SPF which I like since I am in the car so much...I need to protect my skin and avoid the sun.

The Moms, Win a Day Off Sweepstakes has launched! Purex knows all moms work hard and they want to really  salute us with a GREAT GIVEAWAY.  We all deserve a much-needed day off, and the Purex brand would like to provide it!  Sometimes I dream about kicking back and just playing hooky for the day, going out to a luxe lunch after a morning at a beautiful spa but I always feel guilty about spending all that money.  I will do the occasional mani-pedi and every once in a while a massage but never the whole 9 yards.  I love the idea that Purex is willing to give a mama the opportunity to dispense with all the guilt and have a dreamy special day.

One Grand Prize winner will receive a maid service to handle all the house cleaning and laundry, a sitter and get dinner delivered while you are out getting a Mani-Pedi.
