I got this BRAND NEW Jillian Michael’s dvd last night since I pre-ordered it and have amazon prime.

This dvd comes with 3 workouts-Core, Upper Body and Lower Body. She suggests doing 1 workout 2x per week. For example, Core workout on Monday and Thursday. Upper Body on Tuesday and Friday. and Lower Body on Wednesday and Saturday. (Or whatever 2 days you want.)

My first impression of the video was that my eyes needed to adjust because the filming seemed “jerky” or something. Not a deal breaker-just seemed weird and I thought I would mention it.

I did UPPER BODY this morning which was 33 minutes-it included a warm up and cool down.

Jillian was with 2 other girls in this workout. One girl was showing advanced moves and the other one showing less intense moves. I am not going to say beginner moves, because this workout is NOT FOR BEGINNERS! I would consider myself intermediate and it was fun but challenging for me.

Upper Body has 4 circuits total. You repeat the moves 2 times, then do a 1 min cardio HIIT, then move on to the next circuit.
You will need a set of hand weights, maybe 2 sets-heavy and light.

This dvd is challenging but doable-like I said its not for beginners. I did a one arm burpee!!

I really like that the last 2 workout dvds (this one and Beginner Shred) have been “family friendly”. Meaning she isn’t screaming at you or cussing so I can do her workouts with my family around. She is still very motivating and encouraging-I can tell she loves what she’s doing!

I can’t wait to do the other 2 workouts on this dvd. You won’t be disappointed in this workout! You can buy it here:

I used the whole container for one meal and it made at least 8 normal size waffles. I LOVE that it’s dairy free and gluten free and the taste was SO GOOD! I added blueberries to the mix which made them a little dark, but still perfect! My boys loved them as well, which is saying alot because they don’t tend to like my gluten free food. The waffles smelled a little bit like cinnamon even though cinnamon isn’t listed as an ingredient. Overall we loved this product and I will be buying it through amazon to eat again!

This is my first book that I’ve read by Sandra Byrd and I absolutely loved it! Rebecca Ravenshaw moves to India with her family from England, at a very young age. After their deaths she returns to her family home in England, only to find out a woman pretending to be Rebecca had recently died in the home. Now everyone wants to know who Rebecca is, and who was the woman pretending to be Rebecca months earlier? What do the servants know and what is Captain Luke hiding?

This story kept me guessing and although it took me a couple days to read, I had a hard time putting it down because I wanted to finish it right away. I learned alot about England and India history while reading this clean, christian book which takes place during the year 1858. I highly recommend reading this book if you like historical, dramatic fiction!

Synopsis
In the first of a brand-new series set in Victorian England, a young woman returns home from India after the death of her family to discover her identity and inheritance are challenged by the man who holds her future in his hands.

Rebecca Ravenshaw, daughter of missionaries, spent most of her life in India. Following the death of her family in the Indian Mutiny, Rebecca returns to claim her family estate in Hampshire, England. Upon her return, people are surprised to see her…and highly suspicious. Less than a year earlier, an imposter had arrived with an Indian servant and assumed not only Rebecca’s name, but her home and incomes.

That pretender died within months of her arrival; the servant fled to London as the young woman was hastily buried at midnight. The locals believe that perhaps she, Rebecca, is the real imposter. Her home and her father’s investments reverted to a distant relative, the darkly charming Captain Luke Whitfield, who quickly took over. Against her best intentions, Rebecca begins to fall in love with Luke, but she is forced to question his motives—does he love her or does he just want Headbourne House? If Luke is simply after the property, as everyone suspects, will she suffer a similar fate as the first “Rebecca”?

A captivating Gothic love story set against a backdrop of intrigue and danger, Mist of Midnight will leave you breathless.
