In case you  haven’t heard, Chobani just introduced some awesome new flavors!  From left to right, we’ve got Apple Cinnamon, Blood Orange, and Passion Fruit.  These flavors are so new, you may not have seen them in your local store yet, but keep your eyes open because they should be there SOON!

I was fortunate enough to spot a couple of the new flavors this week at my local Target.  I scooped one of each up right away to give them a taste test for you guys.  I know, I know.  It’s such a sacrifice to eat good food, but someone has to do it, right?!

I tried the Apple Cinnamon flavor on Thursday morning for breakfast.  Oh yeah!  Think apple pie filling mixed into yogurt.  These are fruit-on-the-bottom yogurts, so be sure to give it a really good stir before you dig in to enjoy.   It had a nice, smooth, and creamy texture just like all of the other flavors of Chobani that I’ve tried.  One of the thing I really liked about it was that it wasn’t overly sweet.  I was concerned it might be with the apple cinnamon flavor profile, but it was perfect (for me)!

Next up, I tried the Blood Orange flavor yesterday for breakfast.  I must admit I went into this one with a bit of trepidation because I’m not generally a fan of citrus stuff due to the acid/tartness (well, except for margaritas. YUM!).  In fact, I only added clementines into my food repertoire in just the last couple of years.  So, you can see why I was a bit leery over whether I would like this.  Given the success of the Apple Cinnamon flavor, I decided to just dive right in after giving it a good stir.

Oh. Em. Gee.

This stuff is just heavenly!  Up to this point if someone had asked me what my favorite Chobani flavor was, I would have been torn between the Mango and the Black Cherry.  Well, my apologies to those flavors, but I think I may very well have a new favorite.  I thought the Blood Orange had just a very subtle hint of tartness and I really think that came more from the fact it’s Greek yogurt rather than the acid from the citrus.  This will definitely become a regular in my fridge, that’s for sure!

Now on to the nitty gritty details.  I’m sure you’re all wondering how these will fit into your healthy eating plan.  I’m here to tell you that it’s not going to be a problem at all!  The Apple Cinnamon and Blood Orange flavors are both nonfat and the Passion Fruit is lowfat (2%).  For those of you (like me) who are on Weight Watchers, the Apple Cinnamon is 3 PointsPlus™ value and the Blood Orange and Passion Fruit are each 4 PointsPlus™ value.  For those of you who are following other plans, here are the nutrition facts for each of the new flavors:

I’ve been in a major slump. I mean major. In all aspects of my life, it’s been a hard year, and I am ready to close the books on 2011 for good.

With all the curveballs thrown my way this year, I lost site of me: my health, my fitness, my well-being. This is definitely not how I wanted to end this year! I wanted to go out with a bang, and finally be at my long-sought-after-but-totally-elusive goal weight.

And it’s not just me. So many people are ending this year in a slump, not where they envisioned they’d be 12 months ago. Kicking ourselves while we’re down will get us nowhere. In a few short days, we will have a brand new, shiny year. A fresh start, new beginning, clean slate.

Last week a book fell into my lap (okay not literally – it’s not raining books in Texas or anything!) and after I cracked it open and started reading the intro, it felt like I had been slapped upside the head with a sign.

52 Small Changes, One Year To A Happier, Healthier You by Brett Blumenthal

This book is my key. I just know it. I’ve read the intro, skimmed the chapters, and I’m gearing up to take control of my life in 2012 – one small change at a time.

I want this book to be your key, too! I want you to join me in becoming a happier and healthier you, one small step at a time over the next 52 weeks. We can do it! Do you think you’re up to the challenge? Are you a little leary of committing to 52 weeks of changes? I know how you feel, but listen up – the changes are small and Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, & Timely (as outlined by Mel in yesterday’s wonderful post).

Aside from the 9 page introduction, you only have to read ONE chapter a week! I’ll shine a little light as to what’s in store: Week 1: Drink Up (as in water!); Week 2: Get Your Zzzs; Week 3: Keep Off the Couch; Week 4: Keep a Food Journal. See? It’s not scary at all! It might even be things you’re already doing (or have done). And if so, each chapter offers extra credit – a way to take that small change to a higher level. Each week you’ll have a new change and you’ll continue with the prior weeks changes. So by the end of the year, you’ve made (and kept up with) 52 Small Changes, and you are happier and healthier!

JOIN ME!

I am so inspired by 52 Small Changes that I’m going to live it every single week over on the ‘hood – the Sisterhood’s Social Community – and I want you to join me! That’s right. Each week I’ll have a post about the assigned small change and we’ll be able to do it together. Doesn’t that sounds great?

When I was first approached to review Gaiam TV, the first thing that came to my mind was yoga.

The prospect of reviewing anything yoga related made me pretty excited. I love yoga. I mean, I really LOVE yoga. Unfortunately, the crazy that surrounds my life doesn’t allow me to attend my beloved hot yoga classes.

I logged onto Gaiam TV expecting to find a library of streaming yoga videos.

What I found was much, much more. A library of more than 2000 wellness, fitness, health, uplifting and inspirational films, all a simple mouse click away. Pilates. Yoga videos. Even Jillian Michaels.

The more I dug into the website, the more excited I became. For someone who just can’t get to a gym, but really wants instruction and guidance, Gaiam TV is a wish come true.

There was only one problem. I wanted to view the videos on my iPad. But wait…THERE’S AN APP! Gaiam TV is also compatible with the iPhone and the iPod Touch and will also be compatible with Android, Roku and Samsung Smart TV in the very near future.

Members pay just $9.95 a month for unlimited access to over 2000 high quality videos AND there is a 10 day free trial. You’d be hard pressed to find a gym for $9.95 per month. Most drop in yoga or pilates classed in my area cost at least ten dollars PER CLASS.

With Gaiam TV, you basically have your own private yoga studio. Or conditioning class. Or screening of wellness videos from the Mayo Clinic. All the time. When it is convenient for you.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much to explore and learn on this site, it’s kind of mind boggling. In a good way.

If you’re looking for a way to mix up your workout routine, I highly recommend you check out Gaiam TV. I mean, there’s a 10 day free trial. What do you have to lose?

Gaiam TV also has gift subscriptions. So, if you’re looking for a last minute Christmas gift…well, you’re welcome. Personally, I would be pretty thrilled to receive this in my stocking!

Wait. There’s more. The lovely people at Gaiam are offering up a free three month subscription to one of our lucky readers!

There are two ways to enter:

1. Go check out Gaiam TV, then come back and tell us (in the comments, below) which video you’d try first!

2. Tweet about this giveaway, then leave a comment with the link. Don’t forget to mention @shrinkingjeans in your tweet.

This giveaway will end at midnight PST on Thursday, December 29. Please make sure to leave your email with your comments so we can contact you…if you win, we need to be able to get in touch!

Good luck! And namaste.

I was doing the weekly grocery shopping I hate grocery shopping and came upon these new cookies. They are called WhoNu? nutrition rich cookies. I was pretty skeptical. How could cookies be nutrition rich and still be good? I decided the only way to find out was to buy some and give them a try.

I brought them home and set out to see if they could possibly be good tasting and good for you. The hubby and I were the official taste testers. Hubby went first and tried the sandwich cookie. I would compare it to an Oreo cookie. He’s not a big chocolate fan yes, he’s weird! but still thought they were pretty good. He thought the cream filling was excellent and the cookie was good too. I tried mine next and thought the same thing. Pretty darn close to the taste of an Oreo, but not quite as chocolatey.

Next we tried the chocolate chip cookie. I would compare this to a Chips Ahoy cookie. Hubby really liked the cookie itself, but thought it would be better without the chocolate chips. It’s that not liking chocolate thing again. I thought they were pretty good. Not a Chips Ahoy, but still pretty tastey.

Now comes the amazing part of this review. Check out the back of the box.

Can you believe this?
1. As much calcium as an 8 ounce glass of milk.
2. As much iron as a cup of spinach.
3. As much vitamin E as two cups of carrot juice.
4. As much vitamin B as a cup of cottage cheese and & fruit.
5. As much vitamin A as an 8 ounce glass of tomato juice.
6. As much vitamin C as a cup of blueberries.
7. As much fiber as a bowl of oatmeal.
To top it all off, a serving size is three cookies at 150 calories.

I was pretty impressed with WhoNu? cookies. There are other flavors that I will be trying at a later date. It’s not all that often that you find something that tastes like a treat, but isn’t that bad for you. I think that if you give them a try, you’ll agree with me.

A few weeks ago, I received an email from a publicist touting this book: Stress Less, Weigh Less. Normally I read and then delete 90% of those emails because they don’t apply to this site, or they don’t mesh with my thoughts on leading a healthy lifestyle. But I was intrigued about this book, Stress Less, Weigh Less, so I returned the email, read the entire book in one night (it was that good), and requested an interview with Holly!

The book was written in a casual voice, almost like I was sitting on the couch drinking coffee with Holly as I read. All of the concepts were clear and simple to understand, and there was no beating around the bush. You’re going to have to work hard to lose the weight, but you can enjoy yourself along the way, and learn to make it a lifestyle.

Last week I had the opportunity to sit down and interview healthy lifestyle expert and author of Stress Less, Weigh Less, Holly Mosier. She was just as great as I thought she’d be after reading her book! Down to earth, honest, funny, easy to talk to, and very practical.

Holly Mosier is a former actress from General Hospital and Days of Our Lives turned successful medical malpractice attorney, who hit a wall at the age of 39. Her exhaustion, stress, and extra weight forced her to look everywhere for an answer, but she never the found the ‘one-stop shop’ she desired. Eventually she turned her struggle into a new career as a yoga instructor and owner LA Boxing in Lake Forest, CA.

Because Holly couldn’t find all the information she needed to live the life she wanted, she pulled bits and pieces from many sources and created a plan that would work for her and her family. According to Holly, “it all started with emails she shared with her girlfriends, and it spread.” She would share tidbits of information, recipes, and exercises via email with her friends, and those emails would be forwarded to others. I was so surprised, because that’s exactly how the Sisterhood started. Emails of support amongst friends. Holly said, “support makes the process enjoyable!”

Stress Less

One of the main focuses in her book, Stress Less, Weigh Less, is stress is the reason we are overweight. According to the CDC, two-thirds of family doctor visits are now due to stress. When stress hormones spike in your body, you crave high fat/cholesterol foods. Her answer was to find a way to control the stress. In her book, Holly encourages readers to make a habit of keeping a list of the positives things in life – to choose to focus on good things, to meditate, and to discipline thoughts. Another great way to help reign in stress is deep breathing, something I’ve been doing everyday since finishing her book!

Holly’s biggest piece of advice, and one we spoke about at length, is opting out. Choosing to say no is a hard thing to do, especially for women, but ‘opting out as a lifestyle’ is the first step to stress management. When Holly turned 40, she “realized she’d lived about half of her life and she was just existing; doing so much, she wasn’t enjoying anything.” As a successful attorney, mother of 4, and wife, her life was booked solid with and she couldn’t enjoy anything. One day she said no. A simple no, and that’s where it started. Today Holly is still crazy-busy, but she’s busy with things she enjoys.

Saying no is hard for me, and I know it’s not just me. How many times have you been roped into something because you said, ‘well, I don’t know…..maybe…” I asked Holly how it was possible to opt out without guilt! She told me there’s no way around the guilt, but it disappears rapidly and the relief you’ll feel is so much better than the stress of being stretched too thin.

Revamp Your Eating

Once you’ve stopped letting your stress control you, you will be in control of your weight loss.

We’ve all heard it, take in fewer calories than you expend to lose weight. There are hundreds of diets and plans out there, and they work, but the problem comes with maintenance. Most diets are unrealistic, making you eat in a manner that isn’t normal, or something you can continue with as a lifestyle. Holly’s plan is simple, includes regular foods your family will enjoy, encourages you to have a weekly pig-out meal, to get a good balance of carbs/protein/fat, food journaling, and to DRINK COFFEE or hot tea, in addition to 64 ounces of water a day. The coffee is something we laughed about on the phone. I joked that once I’d read that part of her book, I was hooked. I knew it was the plan for me!

As we talked on the phone, I inputted my numbers into Holly’s calorie calculator - I should eat 1650 calories to lose 1 pound a week. I asked about the calories I burn while exercising – should I eat them? Since her calculator takes into account your physical activity, she said no, I shouldn’t eat the calories I burn. We also talked at length about the importance of breakfast (with a hot beverage). She recommended I eat a 100 calorie english muffin with 2 scrambled eggs and coffee. The balance of protein/carbs/fat/calories would be the perfect way to keep my blood sugar stable throughout the day.

In her book, Holly has shared dozens of simple recipes – most using 5 ingredients or less. Things normal people eat, like steak. Things your kids would eat, like cheese blintzes! Things I am already eating. Her recipes were developed by HER, as she experimented to find the right combination of nutrients balanced with easy preparation and flavor. She even did her own food photography!

Get Moving – It’s Time to Exercise

The section on exercise is broken down into easy to follow guidelines. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, Holly says you have to commit to exercise everyday. Yes, everyday. She also stressed the importance of varying the intensity and type of exercises you’re doing to keep yourself motivated and to avoid overuse injury.

Holly touches on the importance interval training. I have come to know and love interval training through bootcamp over the last year. If you joined us for Shrinking Bootcamp, you got a taste of interval training! And of course my favorite guideline is to drink coffee to boost your workouts, followed up with the final guideline, and something I need to work on: Calendar Your Workouts. If you don’t carve out time, you’ll be less likely to do it.

Holly goes on to share her little black book of workout routines, with illustrations, including several 10-minute yoga sequences. I’ve done some of the yoga sequences, and as someone who’s never really done yoga, her directions and photos make it easy and fun. My kids have even gotten in on some handstand (inversion) action!

In closing, Holly calls her book “a ‘how-to’ manual. Complete with everything you need to know to lose weight safely and forever!” I agree that I’ve never read a better ‘weight-loss’ book. It covers all the bases in a practical way, giving you the tools you’ll need to succeed. All you need to do it pick it up and read it. I promise it will be a fast read, and it will change the way you look at weight-loss.

Giveaway!

We have 2 copies of Holly Mosier’s book, Stress Less, Weigh Less to give away! If you’d like to win a copy, leave a comment below telling me what you do to combat the stress in your life. That’s it!

Giveaway will be open until Tuesday, October 11th at midnight PT. Two winners will be chosen via random.org.

Disclosure: I received a PDF version of Holly’s book, and opted to purchase the copy on my Nook! It was worth the $7.99 investment! I was not paid to write this review, and all opinions expressed are my own. Two copies of Stress Less, Weigh Less have been provided for this giveaway.

I try really hard not to pick up ‘fast food’ very often, but as a mom of two young children, I have to be honest…there are days when the only way we’re all getting fed is if I grab something quick.

Thankfully, for those days, I have Subway. Subway has been my go-to for fast, healthy meals since way before I had kids. But now, since I’m not just responsible for feeding myself, I’m extra thankful I can rely on Subway for healthy alternatives to greasy fast food.

My three year old? He calls Subway the ‘turkey sandwich diner’. I have no idea where he came up with the name, but it’s stuck and he will bypass any burger joint for a chance to sit in a booth at Subway with his turkey sandwich (what else?), apples and milk.

Proud mama here.

My favorite sandwich is a six inch roasted chicken breast on wheat, all the veggies except onion and jalapenos with honey mustard sauce. Every. Single. Time. So when Subway offered me a gift card to try out their newest chicken sandwich – the Oven Crisp Chicken – I was just a little excited.

Okay, a lot excited. A new take on chicken? Crispy? Bring it.

The Oven Crisp Chicken is part of Subway’s Fresh Fit Menu. Coming in at under 300 calories for a six inch sandwich, with less than 7 grams of fat, this new take on chicken is a fantastic alternative to any deep fried, fast food chicken sandwich.

In fact, I hesitate to compare the Oven Crisp Chicken to a fast food chicken sandwich…it’s just so much BETTER. No grease to be found, but a delightful crunch. Not to mention you get to customize your sandwich and load it up with fresh, delicious veggies. Yum.

Yep. I’m pretty darn excited about this sandwich.

And I’m even more excited that I get to give away a $25 Subway gift card to one of our lucky readers!

Here are the details:

• Leave a comment on this post describing your go to Subway sandwich combination.

Today is August 6 and that doesn’t make me very happy. It means I’m in the final weeks of my summer vacation from school. My staff meeting is August 18 and once I’m there for that, I’m pretty much back to work. The first official day of school is August 24. The first day of school also marks the day that I will start packing a lunch again.

Believe it or not, I’m kind of excited about the lunch packing thing this year. Over the summer, I came across the greatest little lunch box that I have ever seen. Kelly Lester from Easy Lunch Boxes provided me with a free container set and a lunch bag cooler to try and review. I am happy to say that I was very impressed with the product.

Last year, I was really good about packing a healthy lunch for school each day. I don’t think I ordered in more than a handful of days in the 180 days of school. I think that is a pretty good track record. I have four lunch bags that I would rotate through for the packing of my lunch. They all worked, but it was always an adventure to get things to fit the right way. I kind of had to plan my lunch around what containers fit in what bags. I don’t have to worry about that little problem any more.

Easy Lunch Boxes are compartmentalized BPA-free plastic food storage containers. They make portion control a snap. I no longer have to plan around what fits in my lunch bag. I can plan around leftovers from dinner. I can plan around what is healthy. The containers are microwave and dishwasher safe, eco friendly and make lunch packing so easy.

I can’t wait to actually use my set for packing my lunch. I’ve used it for the beach and vacation so far this summer and it did an awesome job. I love the compartments. The things you can pack in them are endless. I think it is going to be perfect for my dinner leftovers to be turned into tomorrows lunch.

Now comes the fun part. Kelly has offered to do a giveaway for one of our readers. You will be able to win one container set and one lunch bag (you choose the color). Retail value is $21.90. What I would like you to do is go to the Easy Lunch Boxes website and come back and leave me a comment telling me something you learned about the product.

We will run this contest for one week. A winner will be picked on Sunday, August 14, 2011.

This giveaway is offered to US residents only. Please do not enter this giveaway if you have won or received free product from EasyLunchboxes within the past 3 months..

UPDATE — I’d likely to congratulate Adah and Brookefor being the two winners. Congratulations, ladies!!

If I could target any one part of my body to tone up overnight, it would definitely be my abs and core. But honestly, I cannot stand resistance work. I don’t do it nearly often enough, and the idea of doing huge marathon (read: more than 20 minutes) sessions of core work makes me want to stick a fork in my eye.

Enter the 10 Minute Solution Best Belly Blasters DVD. It really is a great solution for those of us that consider ab work a necessary evil, LOL!

Here is the description from the back of the box. The text in red are my own comments that I’ve added on each of the workouts.

Overall, we both really liked the DVD. We loved the fact that they are all about 10 minutes long so it’s easy to sneak one in anytime. Most of the workouts are really challenging, but not so challenging that they couldn’t be modified to some degree. Our 6 and 8 year old kids joined in with the workouts on more than one occasion!

And, of course, you know we have some to give away, right?? We’ve got two copies of 10 Minute Solution Best Belly Blasters DVDs to give away. All you have to do is:

• Leave a comment telling me which body part you wish would change overnight. Are you a core sufferer, like me?
• For an extra entry, tweet about the giveaway using @shrinkingjeans in your tweet and then leave another comment below letting us know you tweeted.
• For another extra entry, like us on Facebook and then leave another comment below letting us know.

This giveaway will end at 11 p.m. ET Friday night, July 29th. Winner will be announced next Saturday, July 30th. U.S. residents only. Good luck!

Disclosure: I received 3 free copies of 10 Minute Solution Best Belly Blasters DVDs, 1 for review and 2 that are being provided for this giveaway. I was not monetarily compensated for this post or giveaway. As always, opinions expressed are my own.
