Yoplait Fiber One review and giveaway

Fiber you hear the word so much all the time. But are you getting enough Fiber? When I hear the word Fiber I think of something that taste like cardboard. No taste at all. I was so excited to try Yoplait Fiber One yogurt. I was really surprised to find that Fiber One tasted so good! Yoplait Fiber One has only 50 calories, 5 grams of fiber and 0 grams of fat. Yoplait Fiber One Blueberry yogurt is a perfect solution, packed with real fruit and the great taste of blueberries that you’ll love. As an added bonus, the deliciously creamy yogurt also contains vitamins A and D and is a good source of calcium. Yoplait Fiber One is the perfect snack for anyone who is looking to get more fiber in their diet. 

As someone who is trying to lose weight I know of the importance of getting in my daily fiber. But like most of you out there I do not want to be eating something that tastelike cardboard in order to get my fiber. Have you given up dieting or eating Fiber due to the way it taste? If you have you are not alone. Yoplait surveyed men and women and found they are fed up with flavorless, boring snacks – and claim they are a contributor to diet failure.  
Lisa Lillien, best-selling author of Hungry Girl 1-2-3 agrees, “Boring snacks are a surefire way to sabotage any eating plan - but it’s not always easy to find low-calorie snacks that actually taste good and satisfy your cravings.  Available in four delicious flavors and with 5 grams of fiber in each cup, Yoplait Fiber One yogurt is one of the most delicious calorie bargains around.”

I was so excited when my box of goodies showed up at my door from Yoplait. Inside was a Blue food journal, a blue pen, a blueberry stress ball, A blue Fiber One sweat towel, A blue Fiber One water bottle, and a coupon to try my own Fiber one yogurt. I have to tell you all I love this yogurt! It has real pieces of fruit in it.  Yoplailt Fiber One comes in a four pack where I was able to find it at my local super Wal-Mart very easily for only $2.59 a pack. I find this a great deal because as I have said before each cup of Fiber One contains only 50 calories.






One of my lucky readers is going to be able to receive their very own Fiber One pack.

Mamavation Monday- First week

Wow what a week this has been. I have been trying really hard to learn how to do everything that is required of me and be a mom and wife. I have been able to talk to Pete Cohen and he has helped me so much already. I am learning why I am here and why I need to change. You can watch my Vlog, but I said its to become healthier not just to lose weight. This is something I am coming to see more and more. Yes losing weight is something I need to do, but I have seen many skinny people who do not eat right or exercise.  Now I am starting to be aware of what I am putting in my mouth and that is because of Alysa who has helped me so much. Talking to Alysa has helped me see that eating breakfast does not have to be something big, but easy. I am eating yogurts and smoothies how simple is that. Also I am learning how to exchange my foods. I am not hungry anymore all the time. I use to eat because I thought I needed something in my mouth in my hand, not anymore. I am good with my meals, if I find myself hungry I crew gum and drink more water.

The exercising I knew would not be easy.  I am out of shape, not use to working out that long, and honestly my main problem was always finishing the exercise. Now I have seen what I can really do. I can workout for a longer time. Yes it will be hard, but that is why it is called hard work! I am in love with the Top trainers dvd set! You all need to go out and get this DVD. I can not say enough good things about it. Yes my booty is being kicked and you know what I love it! I am loving this change.

I want to share with you something now that I have become a Mamavation mom my hubby has now decide he needs to be in shape. So he is working out with me. This is a family affair now! Eve little Logan loves when we workout. But he of course wants us to play the wii and dance! I did do my weigh in this morning and was happy with the number I saw. I started out this campaign at 215 I will be excited when I am able to get under 200 that is my first goal!

I want to say congrats to our first sister of the week @elenka29! She is always on twitter supporting us and now she has started the breakfast club to remind us all to eat a very important meal of the day!

This week's Mamavation sponsor and question comes from Kellogg's Fiber Plus. They're question is:

How are you getting more fiber in your diet this New Year?
I love veggies so much. I get most of my fiber from apples which have 4.4 grams raspberries which have 8 grams, oranges which have 3.1 grams, oatmeal which has 4 grams, beans, and the list goes on! I love being able to find ways to get my fiber in that taste good!

Thank you again to the Mamavation coaching team, Alysa Bajenaru, RD, Tracy Mallett, and Pete Cohen and thank you to our wonderful sponsors Earth Footwear, EA Sports Active, Chefs Requested, and last but definitely not least, Sears Fitness!
