Let the Challenge begin! Week 1 #iheartOmron #Mamavation

1/13/2013

22 Comments

 
This week is the official first week of the #IheartOmron #Mamavation challenge. Which means that all the 25 ambassadors (I am one of them) will start their healthy eating plan and exercise routine. 

I got the products from @OmronFitness and I can tell you so far I am really impressed with both the scale and the pedometer. Let me tell you a little bit about them:
Picture


Omron HBF-510W Full Body Composition Monitor with Scale
Since I opened the box I knew I was going to love the product. It comes with the batteries, so I do not have to start looking for them all over the house. The scales is very accurate and allows you to monitor the Body Fat Percentage and the Body Mass Index. It also keeps track of 4 profiles which is perfect for my family.

HJ-323U USB Pedometer
I am in love with the pedometer. It is so light that the first day I was checking that I had not lost it, which I think is perfect because it does not bother me on the waist. I also love that is a USB that connects with a dashboard to be able to keep track of the activity, calories burned and see the weight loss progress. And it comes with a screwdriver too.

 The before Measurements

 Waist: 41 1/2 inches                                Hips: 48 1/2 inches                                  Thighs: 27 1/2 inches


Last week I lost 5 pounds for a total of 10 pounds since I applied to be an #iheartOmron ambassador.
If you want to join my journey please follow me on twitter as @monicazyoung and instragram too, because I will be tweeting and posting pictures about my food and workouts.

I am also sharing the workouts designed by the awesome @mrbookieboo so you can complete them at home too. The workouts are on a PDF form for you to download and follow along. I am planning on continue walking my 5 miles a day as well

As for nutrition, I will be following the Low Glycemic Index plan. You can find more information about it on the link. Here is also my shopping list for you to follow along.
I want to invite you to watch this video about our challenge, a word of inspiration to keep us moving:
This post is sponsored Omron Fitness as a collaboration with Bookieboo Blogging Network and Mamavation – a community dedicated to weight loss for women and obesity prevention for families.  I was provided with product and compensation for my time and honest opinions.
