Swagbucks, let me count the ways

I've posted twice about Swagbucks, and I bet if you are here you have heard a thing or two about it also.

So if your first response is “what is swagbuck's and who really cares?” I'll tell you there is a whole lot of swaggin' going on with this computer now that I found out about it! Because of...

What I like is earning points for something that I do every day a couple dozen times already, SEARCHING! When I am going anywhere online, I try to utilize Swagbucks or its toolbar to go to that location – even if it is my own blog.

You can do a search from Swagbucks homepage for chances to win SB with your searches, or downloaded their Tool-bar (which you get one SB for logging onto each day)

What I'm using this site for is to earn enough Swagbuck's to buy $5 Amazon gift cards (they are the best deal) I'm starting to stock pile these cards for the next Christmas shopping season.

Here is the nitty gritty how this site works..

Other ways to get SB's are with the Swagbucks Codes. These codes can last the day or hours, you will find them in Swagbucks Blog Posts, just look in the post and they will look something like this YoUhaVeWOn. They tell you when it will expire. Or you find them on their twitter page. Sometimes you will find people talking about them on Facebook letting you know there are codes going on.

Double Swagbucks Day

Friday’s are Double Swagbucks Day. Each Friday, Swagbucks awards double the codes, sometimes even larger codes like 100 SB's!!

You can also earn points from their daily polls, also for just clicking on their trusted survey link and going through the NOSO's. (you don't have to click or agree to the No Obligation Special Offers) Just get to the end of the NOSO's and you get 2 SB's!

I will also be trying out other sites like swagbucks, and report here how I think of them and if they work. If you can't wait here is one site that I'm looking into that is just like swagbucks, its called Zoombucks (i know, original sounding right?)

swagbuck's is a mean tease

i'm telling on swagbucks....to swagbucks, telling them its mean to tease me with points, and then there is no way to claim them!



update: They e-mailed me back and said that they were looking into it, and gave me 5 swagbucks

Swagbucks, yeah i'm doing it

I just stumbled across info on SwagBucks site for a second time in so many months while looking through another blog that I follow. Saw the blogger mention it before, just was not sure if it was going to be worth my time. We will find out!

Edit:It is very much worth my time! Loving SwagBucks!

Happy Turkey Day! (early)

So Thanksgiving is coming up, and so is the dead line for my first goal of reaching 148 lbs (it originally started out at 150 lbs). Which I now see that I should have kept my goal at 150 after weighing myself this morning.I weighed in at 150.4 lbs, which I'm very happy for, I'm also happy that I did not mention to Hubby my thoughts on changing my goal to 148 lbs. This was a very busy month of eating out and having poor food choices. So all there is to do is keep moving on.



And moving on to working out! (yuck) I have gotten a free subscription to Women's Health magazine. They have some great articles about fitness, yoga, and belly buster work-out routines, which I very much so like! With losing weight I still have a one pack, or one would call it a pouch for a belly. Because I'm not working it out and strengthening the muscle around that area. Thats one thing I have a hard time motivating myself to work out on...on working out.



I can tell with how I'm losing weight slowly now I need to add exercise to my daily activities. More so I will need to work out probably about 3 times a week or more to get down to 145 lbs by Christmas time! So Happy Thanksgiving to any and all that stumble over here, and have a great time with friends and family! Also don't eat to much, and drink water before the big meal. The most important part of all, have fun enjoying the food, cause I know that I will.

I have been sick ever since the new year, so I'm still recouping before I get back on the weight loss wagon. But I'll be back soon! updated note:4/21/11

Just draggin' my feet a bit

When I hit 151.8 lbs, I knew deep down that it happened to fast. I mean, yeah I have the weight to lose, but if it happens that fast, something is going to bounce back at you. It did for me, but thank goodness it did not bounce back to much. Yo-yoing is not fun.



I have been hanging around 151-155 lbs for the past few weeks, not to bad. I've very happy that I did not mess around with what my goal weight should be again. So now I have about 4 lbs to lose in two weeks, I can do this! (where have I heard this before?) Now how to get more fruits and veggies into my diet...oh I know!



Its all thanks to Hubby that we know have a Juicer! He played with it a bit mixing up drinks with carrots, celery, cucumbers, pears (got no juice from those!) and some apples. All I have to say is that I'm going to surf the web for some good juicer fruit/veggie combos and proportions. The drinks we made were sugary tasting and stronger then we were ready for.
