Favorite On-Line Places!

I'm not talking about Facebook or ebay, I'm talking about other websites that you visit that peak your interest. I have to say that currently my favorite website (other than my own) is Beekman1802.com. If you are new to the site, you could spend literally HOURS reading and visiting all the areas of the site. For those of you who have no idea who Beekman1802 is, it is the website that accompanies the Channel Green reality series, "The Fabulous Beekman Boys."
Not only does this website have a shop option for you to purchase their great items (which I have done many times) it has blogs by various Beekman 1802 individuals, tips on gardening, they are promoting the worlds largest vegetable garden this growing season, and many other interesting things you can get engrossed in. Check it out, also check out the show, I'm sure you'll love it!
As I briefly mentioned above, I have my own website. This obviously is my most favorite. It is a mothering site for mothers of all ages. It is a calm, accepting site. Free of any fighting, prejudices and catty behavior. I honestly can say it is the best moms site on the web (especially if you are looking for good friendships, advice and a place to open up and be yourself!) If you are a mom and want to join us, you can visit the site at modernmamas.info.

6 week weight loss

As I posted previously, I am working on losing weight. One morning I was up early and one of those spammy infomercials was on. I was in the middle of reading something online when the infomercial actually caught my attention. I went to their website and bookmarked the page to look at later. A few days later, I remembered about the site and went to check it out and see if it was legitimate or not.
I read the site and it seemed very promising for someone who was looking to lose some major weight. I then Googled info on it, such as reviews, scams, and so on.  Pretty much what I found was that it was a legit diet and most people who dedicated themselves to it, had wonderful outcomes. It is a bit pricey, but they have a payment plan, so I signed up for it and my 6 week body makeover was on its way! I got it last week and it suggested you start it on a Monday. I have to say, opening the box and getting everything in order is very overwhelming. I almost gave up because I was so overwhelmed! But I read over what foods I needed and went on the website to get some recipe ideas and prepped myself to start.
I started it yesterday and already lost 1.6 lbs. Its pretty easy if you go by the "easy" recipe suggestions. I'm sure I'll branch out on my foods and meals when I get more comfortable with the program. I told my sister about it and she actually tried it a year or so ago, and gave up. The main thing the diet stresses is a salt free lifestyle. My sister is a salt-a-holic, so after a week and  a half, she gave up because she couldn't go without the salt. We have been a salt-free household for about 2-3 yrs now due to Kayleigh's dietary needs for her kidney disease. So that aspect wasn't an issue for me.
So hopefully, this program works and I can drop the weight I need to lose! Wish me luck!
