Sticking With it This Time...I Hope

Well, it's been over a month and I'm still going strong.  X-biking is kicking my butt, and I love it.  Although my three-times-a-week classes have sometimes been cut back to twice weekly due to childcare availability, I'm still going.  I love that my endurance and strength increases exponentially after just a class or two.  It helps that the trainers are so friendly and great motivators.  I actually don't want to let them down!  We use Trixter X-bikes, X1000 I believe.  Love them.

Also, bodybuilding.com has been my trainer for weightlifting 5 nights a week.  I've been following Jamie Eason's 12 week weightlifting program.  I'm in the middle of the second phase and I am so impressed with myself!  I finally have muscle definition and my strength has increased so much!  After I complete Jamie's program, I will probably stick with the second phase for a little while to maintain my strength.  I might try Brendy Scheerer's program too, it looks like fun. 

By having programs to follow, I've been better about sticking with a program and pushing myself to improve.  When I just try to do it on my own, I find that I only do what I'm comfortable with and I don't improve.  I love that bodybuilding.com is free too!

Kindergarten Smorgasboard Giveaway!

http://growingfirsties.blogspot.com/2013/08/day-4-extravaganza-day-3-winner.html

Awesome giveaway, day 4 from Growing Firsties, a gift of $50 to Kindergarten Smorgasboard.  Such cute stuff for your classroom!  I would love to use these products in my homeschool classroom!  My girls are still young, but in a couple years, we'll be needing all sorts of educational items!

Lysol For the Win!

These Lysol Power & Free products really are awesome!  I used the wipes in my kitchen last night and they even worked well on grease!  They are soft, but durable, and make a little foam when scrubbing with them. The foam is full of hydrogen peroxide and cuts through grease and grime.  It worked great on grease splatters on the back of our range, and on our stainless steel refrigerator door handles. 

I even used it on our light switches and wall phone.  I didn't realize how nasty they were until cleaned...yuck.  I feel good using these wipes because they are fume-free and still kill all those nasty viruses and bacteria that could make my babies sick.  Thank you again BzzAgent for sending these products for me to try for free!

BzzAgent Lysol Power & Free Campaign

I got my first BzzAgent BzzCampaign box full of free samples in the mail yesterday!  It contains Lysol Power & Free cleaners!  Both products are full-sized too, and there were a bunch of coupons I can share with my friends.  This stuff is awesome, so I will definitely be sharing my opinions and coupons. 

The Lysol Power&Free multi-purpose cleaner was wonderful in my bathroom.  It worked to get my shower floor soap scum free and white again with very little scrubbing on my part.  I used the wipes on the toilet and sink/countertop.  It was great at getting the scum around my faucet clean.  The hydrogen peroxide makes little bubbles that scrub for you to make your counters/showers clean.  I think this will be the multi-purpose cleaner that I will buy from now on.  I also liked the convenience of the wipes, and will have one of these little canisters under the bathroom sink for everyday cleanup. 

As far as the scent goes, the multi-purpose cleaner smells great, and I was hoping the wipes had the same smell as well.  However, the wipes scent was a little more "cleaner" like and less fresh.  The scent wasn't strong enough for me to stop using the wipes though.  I am a fan of how well the cleaners worked!
