Something I love hearing about is success stories, it often motivates me more, and puts things into perspective for me. For instance, why is it that they can do it and I can’t? I CAN do it, and I’m going to do it. It also gives me a challenge (yes I’m competitive) to do even better than a said person did.

Kristen Miller Before

One of my favorite success stories that I’ve read to date has to do with the Total Gym. Kristen Miller lost a total of 80lbs using the Total Gym. Going from 250lbs to 170lbs, a size 22 to a size 8! This is inspiring because it’s almost the same success that I’d love to have and see as well. It took Kristen about 2 years to take off the weight, but she says its totally worth it and due to the help of the total gym.

You can read Kristen’s story here, or check out her video.

Her story is inspiring to me, I used to weight 264lbs at my heaviest

Kristen Miller After

weight, my goal weight is to get to 145lbs. I once was a size 22, and to get down to a size 8, a size I myself have never been before would be just amazing! Never-mind the health benefits that would come with it.

I vow to continue on with this challenge, and re-naming it the Total Gina Challenge once I’m done with the 8 week Total Gym Total Mom challenge. I’ll get there, and maybe my success story will be one of the featured ones on the Total Gym website as well.

This post brought to you by Sprint. All opinions are 100% mine.

How many of you have freaked out in a panic because you misplaced your phone?  I’ve done it about a million and one times, it’s either stashed in my purse among all of my other junk and I just can’t see it or grab it, I’ve misplaced it somewhere in the house, it’s ended up under couch cushions, or in my pocket and I just forget I put it there.  Yup, I’ve misplaced my phone a lot!

Normally what I do is either use another phone to call it and frantically run around looking to find it like a chicken with my head cut off, well now, there’s a super cool app for Sprint Total Equipment Protection (TEP) subscribers that will make it a little easier for you to locate your phone plus help you do a lot of other things just in case you do loose or wreck your phone somehow.

This new Sprint Total Equipment Protection App is available for Android, Blackberry and select feature phones.  With this new app you can:

1)      Locate your phone

2)      Sync your contacts

3)      Remote wipe phone

4)      Lock phone

5)      Sound alarm

Sprint TEP customers can be up and running in just a few minutes at no additional cost!

Just think, if your phone was lost or stolen all of your contacts are sync’d, you can wipe your phone clear of anything remotely, it makes you feel 100x safer than wondering what information someone can grab from your phone.  Plus there’s no more status updates on Facebook asking people to send you their contact information again because you lost your phone.

If you’re a customer who didn’t enroll in TEP within 30 days of activating your phone Sprint is holding an Open Enrollment from August 1-30, 2011. This means any Sprint customer can add the Total Equipment Protection feature to their phone and take advantage of this great app as well.  Why should you enroll in TEP?  Simple, TEP provides Sprint customers with a quick and convenient way to receive a replacement if their phone is ever lost, stolen, damaged or malfunctions after the warranty expires. It’s a great feature to have, I’ve used my own protection plan a few times with different previous phones.

The Protection App will be included with TEP at no additional cost.  TEP costs $8.00 per month.  If you ever need to file a claim your deductible is $50 or $100, which is must less than the cost of a new phone at the non contract price, most phones retail for over $300!

If you’re interested in enrolling or learning more you can visit www.tepenroll.com. Remember,m if you’re a current Sprint customer, hurry because you only have until August 30^th to add this feature to your existing phone.

I don’t know about your kids, but mine are huge fans of Disney Channel, and even bigger fans of Phineas and Ferb! So tonight, Friday August 5th, they’re super excited for the premier of the Disney Channel Original Movie Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension!

I admit, Phineas and Ferb is intriguing and entertaining, I tend to watch it with the girls as well, and this movie won’t be any different it’s great for the entire family even though it is a cartoon.

Make tonight (Aug. 5th) a family movie night and tune into Disney Channel at 8pm EST to catch Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension.

I’ve realized over the past few years of trying to loose weight that a ‘quick fix’ isn’t going to do anything but frustrate myself and make me waste a ton of money. I’ve come to realize that it’s eating healthy and exercising that will make the biggest contribution.

But finding additional equipment can help along the way, or at least help my confidence as long as I’m doing the two major things, there’s no harm no foul.

My best friend used to religiously use a waist trimmer belt but she never honestly said if it actually helped her or not.  Has anyone else ever tried one? I was thinking about purchasing one for myself, I mean it can’t hurt to try it out. It seems like no matter how well I eat, or how much I work out, my waist and stomach is the hardest to ‘trim down’.

I was browsing around the net, and looked at a few different reviews, the reviews for the Golds Gym waist trimmer seemed to be pretty good.

Have any of you ever used a waist trimmer belt before? Any good results? I’d love to hear your own thoughts or experience, let my readers give me a review for once lol.
