How YOU Can Have Swimsuit Confidence
Brittany, Joy and I were in swimsuits on t.v. so you will feel more confident in your suit at the pool or the beach. None of us are models but we did it. Here’s a few ideas for you to feel more confident.
If you’re feeling inspired you can participate by liking the Lands’ End Facebook page and maybe win a gift card to buy the Lands End Suit I’m modeling. Hey – maybe I AM a swimsuit model!
Swimsuit Confidence Week
Does wearing a bathing suit in public fill you with dread? It does for many of us. Manly because the images we always see in magazines are of supermodels in swimsuits. Rarely do you see a real woman in a magazine in her swimsuit. Which is the point of Swimsuit Confidence Week, brought to you by Curvy Girl Guide and Lands’ End. It’s a way for real woman to show how great they look in their swimsuits. In honor of the day we did this week’s episode of Rebecca Regnier’s Full Plate wearing swimsuits. It was nerve racking and I was freaked out the entire time. BUT in the end it was totally fine. My swimsuit and Brittany Gibbons’ was provided by Lands’ End if it is something you think you’d like to try. So that’s me in my suit. Gulp.
And here’s more about how Swimsuit Confidence Week came to be and how I got ready to go on t.v. in a swimsuit.
More With Cooking Light® Magazine’s Chef Billy
Chef Billy Strynkowski knows his stuff! He’s the Executive Chef at Cooking Light ® Magazine. I had the opportunity to interview him for Weight Watchers Cheese® at the National Harbor Food and Wine Festival a few weeks ago. This is the second day and I just wanted to share with you his insights. I believe to get healthy you have to learn what’s in your food, how to cook things you love, and how to substitute flavor for some of the higher calorie ingredients. Chef Billy is an EXPERT in this. Grab your water and listen to Chef share some ideas.
*Disclosure: I was a paid Brand Ambassador for Weight Watchers Cheese. Also my shirt came from Old Navy. Old Navy didn’t give it to me. I bought it. But I got compliments on the bright green SO you might want to go over there and check. If you see a size large in another color let me know. They were out at my store.
Sugar Makes Us Stupid!
A recent scientific study indicates that sugar can make you fat! Oh, wait, no that’s an old scientific study and what your grandma said a million times. The recent study has determined that sugar can make you dumb!
UCLA researchers took a bunch of lab rats, fed them Count Chocula, and then asked them to complete The New York Times crossword puzzle. Kidding, most rats prefer sudoku.
Actually, the researchers enrolled the rats in a five-day maze training session. Really. One group was given brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids in the form of flaxseed oil and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), while the other group was not. BOTH groups of rats were fed high fructose corn syrup instead of water.
After six weeks of this the rats were put back in the maze, you know the maze that they learned like the back of their hands, or flippers or claws, or whatever rats have instead of hands. The rats that did not get omega-3 fatty acids were all continue reading…

National Harbor Food & Wine Festival With Weight Watchers Cheese
Last week Weight Watchers Cheese selected me to help represent the product at the National Harbor Food and Wine Festival. I jumped at the chance of course because I love cheese! I love wine! I love Weight Watchers and I love harbors! Okay I just added the harbor part to keep this love thing going.
I sort of wondered how it was going to go – passing out a Weight Watchers Cheese among other non-Weight Watcher cheeses. Would people want to try it? Did they have pre-conceived ideas about what Weight Watchers Cheeses tasted like? Here’s a sample of what some of the people were trying out.
Weight Watchers Cheese samples for the Food and Wine show.
There were 1,800 individual Weight Watchers Natural Light Smoked Mozzarella String Cheeses involved in this event! That’s a lot of cheese to be opening if people aren’t going for it! But no worries. They went for it – big time!
Here’s a quick few interviews I did with people who sampled the cheese.
I also had the opportunity to interview Cooking Light® Magazine’s Executive Chef Billy Strynkowski on both days of the event. Here’s a link to watch our first interview.
He had great ideas of how to use the Weight Watchers Cheese in your dishes. I also have a TON of great recipes from Weight Watchers. Click here to browse the ideas. Not only did he like the cheese he was coming up with MORE ideas as we talked. We were both really excited to use the Whipped Cream Cheese, both the strawberry and onion & chives flavor.
Love them all but you MUST try the spreadable wedges. Now.
Of course I had concerns about my healthy lifestyle commitment issues in the middle of a food and wine show SO my main solution was morning workouts. Here’s proof of that! Let’s not talk about my hair and make up after a workout. I sweat. It’s a lot of sweat okay?
What I realized is that I have to have cheese in my life. And right now the best way for ME to do that is to choose a lower fat option. It’s working for me because it doesn’t seem like a healthier option. It’s just cheese. If you need more proof – one of my children (read grown almost up but still raids my fridge at will) LOVES cheese like I do. He has no idea that he’s eating a Weight Watchers String Cheese. No kidding. Now this is bad because he keeps eating all my Weight Watchers Cheese but the good news is he’s moving out of the house soon. Cry if you will about an empty nest but they’ll be more cheese for me!
It was an amazing event and an exciting reception from non-dieters to the Cooking Light® tent with the Weight Watchers Cheese samples. Now if there was only Weight Watchers Wine – mama would be all set!
Weight Watchers Cheese hired me as a brand ambassador for this event. I was compensated AND provided with cheese. This is pretty much the perfect way to pay me, in cheese. Can I put that on a resume? Will work for cheese? No?
