The View ~ What’s on This Week

In case you missed last week, make sure you go check out Robert Pattinson, this episode is my pick for favorite of last week.  Barbara compared him go James Dean (swoon).  And how hot is that Details magazine spread (fainting)! When asked if he would date an older woman, his reply was that Betty White is one of the sexiest women in America.  Did you know he brought his whole family with him? How cool is that!

Coming up this week!

Monday ~ We’re talking Oscars® — everything from the dresses to the hosts! Vanessa Williams sits in as guest co-host, and we’ll video chat with Sherri live from Hollywood!  (The girls from the #KodakRedCarpet saw Sherri!)

Sunburst

I don’t normally post photos for no reason but I just had to share this one with everyone.  I took it today as part of the Worldwide Moment Mini Moment.  I was so excited I finally figured out how to get an awesome sunburst I couldn’t resist posting it.  I did not edit this photo at all it’s straight out of the camera.  Let me know what you think.

Flashback Friday

This is Pookey on 3-5-06 she was in 3rd grade and was chosen to be in an art show at our local library.  Her artwork is the castle at the top of the board.

Your Shape for the Wii Review

I recently was sent a copy of the Your Shape for the Wii to use as part of a 12 week challenge I was chosen for through Collective Bias.  I have been using it now for about 8 weeks (minus 2 weeks in the middle when I was traveling) and I would like to share with you my thoughts on the game.

About the game

“Your Shape, is an interactive fitness product for the Nintendo Wii. Developed in collaboration with fitness experts, Your Shape creates a fitness program personalized to help you meet your fitness goals. Featuring an exclusive camera (the first for Wii!), the game detects your movements so that Jenny McCarthy, your in-game workout buddy and guide, can correct your form as you exercise. We know how hard it is to stick to a fitness routine — that’s why Jenny will be by your side to encourage, motivate, and entertain you as you workout. Fitness has never been this effective or fun!” ~ taken from YourShapeGame.com

Hillshire Farm’s Turkey Lil’ Smokies

One of our favorite party snacks is Lil’ Smokies baked in Pillsbury Crescent rolls, they are really yummy and highly addicting! The downside, they are really fattening.  As part of my new commitment to my health I am always looking for healthier alternatives to some of my favorite food items.

Hillshire Farm recently sent me samples of their new Turkey Lil’ Smokies and Turkey Smoked Sausage for my family to try out and I was pleasantly surprised!  There was practically no grease when I cooked up the sausage and the kids devoured the Lil’ Smokies.  Not only do they taste really great but the fat and calorie content is MUCH lower than the traditional products.

Here is the breakdown for a 5 link serving of Lil’ Smokies

Turkey Lil’ Smokies     fat     4g     calories     80

Regular Lil’ Smokies    fat     14g   calories     160

Big difference huh?  I love food, I love to eat and that has been the hardest part of my Your Shape Challenge, however finding great products like this make it much easier to enjoy my favorite foods without all of the guilt.

OMG Robert Pattinson is coming to The View.  I love his accent, and his hair, and his eyes and wow, everything (swoon)

Of course you know Robert as sultry, brooding vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga. Robert (aka “RPattz”) is a 23-year-old English actor, singer/musician, and model who was first introduced to movie audiences as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.Later, his starring role in Twilight catapulted him to instant stardom. The highly anticipated third installment, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be released later this year. Robert, who composes his own music, sings two of the songs on the Twilight soundtrack: “Never Think” and “Let Me Sign.”

I had no idea he sang on the Twilight Soundtrack!
