FABULOUS WEBSITE
I have been working on weight loss for about a month and a half now, and I got a great head start. Now though I need help and motivation to keep moving. I found that with a fabulous website and app called MyFitnessPal. MFP is amazing! First of all it is a wonderful community of people who are working on improving their health and dropping the pounds. The site and app are awesome because you are able to log in your weight loss goals. Each day you can log in what you eat, drink and your fitness activities. You can totally keep track and make better decisions and keep in your calorie goals. Seriously the site is amazing. It can even tell you how long it will take you to reach certain weight goals if you continue with the same calorie intake. The best part is it is free!

REBATE
I love All You. It is seriously my magazine of choice. Not only does All You pack their magazine full of coupons, there are always great money saving tips too! And their website is great as well. Each day they will point you to a freebie that you can sign up for. What I want to squeal about right now is their rebate (well kind of rebate) for a $5 Walmart gift card. Buy two Jergen's Natural Glow products at Walmart, print out the form at All You , and send it in with the Walmart receipt and completed order form. Purchase must be made by June 30, 2011 and postmarked no later than 7/8/2011. This is a deal that is only available while supplies last, but it is a great product and definitely worth the effort. Get the deal at All You's link below.

On June 11th you can take the kids to Lowe's and get them involved in the Build and Grow Center where they can make a Goofy Golf Game for dad. On June 25th they will make a flag waver that they can set up for the Fourth of July. Sign up the kids while there is room. These are great opportunities for your kids to get out and learn that they can make fun with their own two hands.

Don't forget that Stellar Kart will be performing a free concert at Happy Valley Baptist Church at 24220 N. 43rd Ave in Glendale. The schedule says 6:00 pm so I would plan on getting there early as possible.
SALES RECIPES
Before I tell you some of the sales that caught my eye, I thought I would share a link to a recipe that will go well with the sale Albertsons has for the bone-in pork picnic roast at $1.59 a pound. This recipe is from Food.com. I like to shred the pork up after it has cooked and roll it up in tortillas, but it is also very good with rice. The person who posted the recipe thought it made a great gravy. The jury is still out for me on that part, but it is easy, inexpensive, and delicious. It also uses my favorite household appliance, the crock pot. This is wonderful for cooking all day without heating up the house and using very little energy as opposed to the stove or oven.

Pineapple is on sale at Fry's for just 99 cents! The recipe that I will link to next is for Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Roast (again use the picnic roast), and it calls for canned pineapple, but I imagine fresh has to be an even better substitute.
