There’s so much delicious food around at the holidays, but all those tempting treats can mean extra weight come January.  Start a healthy eating plan with the Slim-Fast 3.2.1 Plan and take off that weight in a delicious way!

I’ve been a fan of Slim-Fast for a really long time. I used to buy it when it came only in powdered form, with a shaker cup for mixing. Slim-Fast has helped me recover from bouts of holiday over-eating more than once, so I was thrilled when they contacted me about reviewing their new shakes,which are their richest, creamiest, best-tasting shakes ever!  

With each Slim-Fast shake, you get 10 grams of protein, five grams of fiber and 24 essential vitamins and minerals, all inside a deliciously convenient bottle that’s designed to go everywhere. The five tempting flavors available in the new bottle are Creamy Milk Chocolate, French Vanilla, Rich Chocolate Royale,Cappuccino Delight, and Strawberries N’ Cream.

Slim-Fast sent me a coupon so I could try a free bottle for myself, I chose the Rich Chocolate Royale flavor. It is SO GOOD. I especially like that the bottle has a screw-on top, so if I’m not able to finish the whole shake in one sitting, I can stick it back in the fridge to finish later. Drink Slim-Fast shakes as part of the healthy 3.2.1 Plan, which you can find on the Slim-Fast website.

The plan gives you quick results in a healthy way. Here’s the Plan: • 3 Snacks: Three nourishing snacks a day such as Slim-Fast 100-calorie snack bars, fruit, nuts or veggies • Slim-Fast 100-calorie snack bars provide a delicious calorie-controlled snack to help curb sweet cravings between meals • 2 Slim-Fast Shakes or Meal Bars per day: Slim-Fast shakes and meal bars are delicious and satisfying, providing the balanced nutrition of a meal and up to four hours of hunger control • 1 Balanced Meal: Enjoy one balanced 500-calorie meal per day. As a rule, try to fill half your plate with veggies, a quarter with protein, and a quarter with whole grains. BUY IT: • The new Slim-Fast shakes are available in the pharmacy sections of grocers and retailers nationwide, including Wal-Mart, Target, Safeway and Kroger and online at Amazon.com and the Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Store on Facebook.

I’ve never been to Branson, Missouri, but if I had a chance, I would definitely go, because it sounds like a really fun place to go with a family!  Thanks to SocialSpark, I’m getting this chance to share information with MomReviews readers on where the best places to stay are in Branson. I have a tip about where to eat, too!

The Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing is located within Branson Landing, a waterfront shopping, dining, and entertainment district, and is just minutes from live theaters, golf courses, Silver Dollar City amusement park, outlet malls, the Titanic museum, and more. Hilton Promenade has guest rooms, suites, and condos, an indoor pool, and a business center. Room service is available, the restaurant and cocktail lounge are located across the street at the Convention Center.

Speaking of the Convention Center, the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel is located across from the Hilton Promenade. After a day of shopping and entertainment, lounge around the outdoor pool featuring lounge areas with glowing fire pits and private cabanas! Enjoy a cocktail at “Clear”, and dine at the Level 2 Steakhouse, where you’ll feast on fresh seafood flown in from Hawaii, 28 day aged corn-fed Midwest beef, locally grown produce, and house-made desserts. Then, go up to your guest room, suite, or condo, and rest up for another day of fun!

Even though my dog Elvis drives me crazy sometimes ( he barks at EVERYTHING), I love him and I never want him to be in any pain or suffer in any way. One thing I pay attention to is his energy level and how easily he moves around and runs.  He’s around eight years old, but as he gets older, I’ll definitely want to do everything to insure he stays mobile. 

All dogs can experience mobility issues, in fact, 1 in 5 dogs has joint health issues or mobility problems. Many pet owners don’t realize that symptoms like taking longer to recover after exercise, taking longer to get up or down, or even being less active in general can be early warning signs of joint or mobility problems.

Hill’s Pet Nutrition, makers of Hill’s Science Diet pet food, also cares about the mobility of pets, and they want dog owners to know that their Healthy Mobility pet food can help enhance mobility and improve joint flexibility in as little as thirty days. It contains antioxidants, high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, and high-quality lean proteins.
