My review: I have three pups in my home! One medium mixed mix breed named Kaia, and two Dachshunds named Piddles and Dinky. (Yes i know lol but they totally live up to their names). Let me tell you, they completely love bath time! So this was a fun experience for all involved!

I was completely impressed with the shampoo. I didn't have to use a lot and it lathered up really well! It has a very pleasing, long lasting scent which is a plus for. Most times when I give my pets a bath, they smell good for about a day and then it's back to smelling like a dog. But this lasted a lot longer! Maybe it was the combination of all the products together!

The conditioner was great! It left my babies feeling so soft and their coats really shiny! And the best part is that I don't have to worry that it will irritate their skin.

The wipes!! I think they are my newest favorite thing! They are easy to use, extremely convenient and smell fantastic! After we go for our walks I can just pop out a wipe and the paws are clean!!! After walking on the concrete, I'm sure it gave them some relief as well with the soothing effect that Aloe and Lanolin can give!

I completely recommend these products to anyone who has pets and I will continue to use them for mine! There is a store locator on the website which is listed below!

Update for January 23rd

exercise-motivation-quotes-weight-loss-work-out-lose-weight-8

Today was my weigh in. I honestly didn't think I was going to do well for the fact that I was sick for 4 days and didn't do anything really but sleep and sit on the couch. But I ended up losing 1 pound and have officially lost a total of 10 pounds in 3 weeks! I am so very proud of myself!

exercise-motivation-quotes-weight-loss-work-out-lose-weight-1

I am almost half way to my goal of losing 25 pounds! My last day for weigh in at work is the 27th of February and at that time I will take an updated pic like in my first post! I'm not seeing much of a difference in my appearance but maybe comparing pics will help me to see where I've lost this 10 pounds hahaha

How I have lost my weight so far:

glass_of_water_by_nihost-d5rxvreDrinking nothing but water and juice.I have given up on any type of carbonated beverage. By keeping myself hydrated, my body can work better in burning those calories!

portionControl-photoI have been watching my portion control and calories. I have been eating the Weight Watchers meals for breakfast and for lunch and then whatever I want for dinner, as long as i'm in range for my calorie count for the day! I document everything I eat with my Noom Coach app!

runningWalking! I have been trying to keep a goal of at least 10,000 steps a day (5 miles). Some days are better then others, but most days I do reach my goal!

Push myself to go further and faster. I had been walking 1.5 miles on my treadmill and then taking a walk in the afternoon with my son and my pup. I have been trying to beat that by walking 2 miles on the treadmill and then also taking my walk in the afternoon. Taking those extra steps helps keep me in line and pushing my body to do more! If you keep in the same routine, eventually your body will get use to it and nothing else happens. At least that is how it is for me. I have also added in a few other workouts into my routine in hopes that will get my body moving in the right direction.

So if you are following my journey I urge you to just get up off the couch and walk around the house for 10 minutes. Or even walk around the block. You will be amazed at how much better you will feel when you get done. And you have burned a few calories in the process! Eat a little healthier. Even a McDonalds side salad is better then that cheeseburger on the menu!  Watch your portions and get in the habit of drinking water!!
