EatSmart
This was the fourth in a long line of scale purchases I made on my quest to lose weight. Prior to buying this scale, I had been using scales which were not accurate, and calls to the manufacturers yielded statements that "all scales are accurate only to within 5 pounds" and "if you want accuracy, you should buy a meat scale." Needless to say, I was irate and frustrated. After buying the kitchen food scale from EatSmart, I was impressed with the accuracy of EatSmart, so bought this item. It is not only consistent and absolutely accurate, but it is quite stylish! I keep it in my living room, and it looks incredibly chic! Highly recommended!
EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale, Silver
EatSmart Products
Another EatSmart scale, this one for weighing food. It weighs them in pounds, ounces, grams, or kilograms and is 100% accurate as far as I can tell. I love my silver one, but it also comes in a beautiful, deep red, white, black, white & chrome, and black & chrome.
Mio Classic Select Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Champion
In my never-ending quest to get fit, I have found this watch and heart rate monitor to be a huge boon! It measures my heart rate, so I can tell when I'm aerobic, calculates calorie intake and use, warning me when I get close to my limit, and figures the number of calories I've burned through. It even tells the time! It has different color face covers, and it is beyond reasonably priced. Can't live without it!
George Foreman GR10B 36 Square Inch Nonstick Countertop Grill, Black
George Foreman
I didn't want to invest a lot in a George Foreman grill because I honestly didn't realize that there were so very many things I could cook with it. It is perfect for my husband and I for meats, as it holds enough meat for 2 to 4 people. The clean grilling is awesome.
George Foreman GRP4 Next Grilleration 72 Square Inch White Removable Plate Grill
George Foreman
Once I realized how much I used my small grill, I moved on to this one. It cooks far more at a time, and it also has removable plates, making it simple to clean well.
Hamilton Beach 51101B Personal Blender with Travel Lid, Black
Hamilton Beach
This nifty personal blender is just perfect for one person. I mix my protein shakes and smoothies in it, and it blends very well, from fresh strawberries to frozen cranberries, it works without a hitch And it converts into a personal travel cup, so I can blend a shake upstairs and then take the blending-jar-turned-travel-cup downstairs to drink while I work out. Fewer things to wash, and very fast and efficient. Great price, too.
George Foreman GFSP1 Sponges, 3-Pack
Applica Incorporated/DBA Black and Decker
Specialized sponges for cleaning the Foreman grills. These last a very long time. I've only reordered once in the 2 years I've owned the grills. They are made to fit into the grooves of the George Foreman grills and non-abrasive enough that they don't mar the grilling surfaces.
Boiley EGG Boiler Gadget Tool Tools Kitchen Decor
MSC
This cute little kitchen gadget is worth its weight in gold! I can boil an egg in the microwave in less than 5 minutes. No waiting for water to boil, no mess, no exploding eggs. Love it!
Rainbow Interlocking Foam Wonder Mats: 36 Pieces at 12" X 12" X ~5/8" Thick
Wonder Tent; Wonder Mat; Wonder Blocks
Not just for babies anymore! I laid these mats over my floor, which is hardwood over concrete and caused joint problems with high impact dancing. This worked like a charm! The pieces fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, and can be laid in various patterns and are easily relaid when you need to change things up. Amazon does not sell the outer edges, but the manufacturer -- whose info is on the packing slip -- is more than gracious about it.
