Slender With a Blender

Hi there! We are happy to announce that the

Slender With a Blender

book is “getting around”! The book is in many locations, US cities, and other countries, and we would like YOU to send us a photo of the book in your local area, or on your travels. We are rewarding people who send in pictures that we can use on our Facebook account, by sending them a free book. Rules – send us a photo before December 15th, of the book, showing where the book IS, to slenderwithablender@gmail.com. That is, a photo of the book visiting your local area, a monument, or just a beautiful spot, and if we use it on our Facebook account, we will send you a free book. In the body of the email, please write your name and address of where we are sending your book, and also write “Slender With a Blender has my permission to use the attached photo on their Facebook account” – thank you! Happy Travels!

Hello family and friends! Today marks the completion of 10 weeks of the “Slender With A Blender Weight loss challenge”! Where we are testing to make sure that the recipes in the book really WORK! The report is that I am down 12 pounds since the beginning of this “challenge” on September 1st (but remember, you can start your own personal challenge at any time). I think that’s pretty good, especially considering that what I am doing is drinking delicious shakes like “banana nut bread” p.5, for breakfast, and “chocolate cherries” p.15 for lunch, and then for dinner I’m having pretty much whatever I want. There have been times when I have regular food for both lunch AND dinner, and still the weight is melting off (slowly but surely). Truth is, I am limiting starchy carbs and sweets, but not avoiding them entirely. For example, you won’t find me sitting in front of the TV devouring a back of chips, or eating half a pan of brownies (former favorites… =D ). In fact, as of almost two weeks ago, I’ve added exercise, to my schedule. A brisk half hour, to one hour walk, 5 days out of 7, each week. That’s it! It hasn’t been difficult, the shakes and the between-meal snacks (those are always a low-glycemic bar, or nuts, or sliced veggies, etc.) have kept me feeling full, and my cravings are gone. On the other hand, I’m getting a little nervous about having 28 pounds to go, and only 14 weeks until my deadline of Valentine’s Day… That means I have to lose 2 pounds each week consistently, and I’m not the most disciplined dieter…. So please stay tuned! Your support and emails mean a LOT to me! And thank you for following along with my blog/vlog and weight loss report. If you haven’t already, please feel free to share your successes, and your favorite recipes by emailing us at slenderwithablender@gmail.com. And check us out on our TV debut! Go to www.theviewfromthebay.com, and put “get slender with your blender”, in the search field.  Or just click here: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/video?id=7096264

Who knew this little recipe book would get us on TV! Anyway, it was fun, and I hope you enjoy watching the segment, too. Thanks, Tannis
