Moderation Nation Giveaway!

Happy October 1st! Nothing eventful for yesterday.  I did not eat lunch because I ran out of time (more on that another day) Had a tuna sandwich for dinner.  I did not get any exercise in either but managed to get a decent deficit because I did not eat lunch.

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, The Moderation Nation Web site Moderation Nation provides a host of tools including:

  • Recipes and Expert Tips. Here you´ll find advice from Cheryl Forberg, registered dietitian (RD) for NBC's The Biggest Loser, award-winning chef and New York Times best-selling cookbook author.  Additional recipes and tips from Regina Ragone, Food Director at Family Circle magazine; Keri Glassman, author of the O2 diet; and Liz Ward, author of Expect the Best Pregnancy.
  • Moderation Menus. Seven-day meal plans - with snack ideas - that will help you plan out your week. Each menu is based on an individual lifestyle, such as Single, Adults with Kids and Adults with No Kids.
  • Balance the Meal. This cool balancer tool allows you to input your main dish and its preparation method; in return, you´ll receive ideas for complementary side dishes that round out the meal smartly.
  • Useful Facts. Here you´ll find everything from a "portion distortion" guide - providing cues on what actual portion sizes should look like - to a grocery shopping fact sheet - to a guide on how to start and maintain a food journal.
I am doing a giveaway and the prize is a Moderation Nation t-shirt, Hershey´s chocolate and a nutrition journal to track your food and activities. The product, gift pack, information, and giveaway were all provided by Hershey´s through MyBlogSpark. To enter the giveaway please leave a comment on this post telling me you are interested and I will announce the winner on Wendesday, October 6th.

No concrete plans for the weekend. I want to go to Zumba tomorrow at 10:00 a.m and I would really like to start painting the watermelon bowls. My supplies are in Danielle's garage so I need to get them out. Since we have a lot of storage at the new place, I can bring them to our place and store them now. Well, I hope you all have a good weekend. Until next time...

    Hi Katie,

    I'm interested in the giveaway! Sounds like you're really doing well. I swear if I miss a meal I more than make up for it later. Hope you have a good weekend.

    I'm interested too. And I totally agree with Leslie, if I miss a meal I end up overdoing the next one :)

    The only part of the giveaway I'm interested in is the chocolate, so for my own good, please DON'T enter me, lol!

    Paint your watermelon bowls - I can't wait to see them! And enjoy Zumba - sounds like a great way to start your weekend. :)

    What a great giveaway! I love Moderation Nation ... heck, just about anything Cheryl gets involved with ends up being awesome. And even though all of my official tracking ends up on the BB site an actual journal would be handy for the times I'm not home or near a computer. I try to write it all down but ... well ... :)

    Hope you have a great weekend! Saturday we're hopefully going to a local farm with Johnny & Tom's parents (at least his dad since it was his idea) for some apple & pumpkin picking. They've got quite an incredible place that's always a big hit with the kids this time of year! Should be LOTS of walking around, too :)

    Hi Katie J, thanks for posting that link. I'm going to check it out. Love the name Moderation Nation. That sounds like the best way to live. I'm interested in the giveaway, but I'd have to give my hubby the Hershey's chocolate if I won :-)

    I really like that website. I was thinking about printing out the certificate for a dietician visit. I would also like to be in the giveaway.
    1 week of clean eating and exercising and still going strong!
