Kellogg’s special K recently launched its “Be Victorious” program…just in time for New Year’s resolutions.

The first step in planning for victory is deciding what your victory should be. And this year, Special brought victory to life with six real women who shared their own victory stories.
These six women shared what “victory” means to them with Special K women across the country. They could be friends, neighbors or the moms who drive the carpool on Tuesdays. They aren’t celebrities or public figures. they’re real women!

The be victorious women share some of their Victories, that were part of their television ad.

• Mary, age 30, Chicago, Ill.: “My victory is looking into a mirror and liking the woman looking back at me.”
• Jeannie, age 27, Gloucester, Va.: “My victory is running a marathon.”
• Jacquelyn, age 35, Lindenhurst, Ill.: “My victory is to show Isabelle that mommy feels confident.”
• Courtney, age 35, Chicago, Ill.: “My victory is hearing those four little words: ‘Have you lost weight?’”
• Kristi, age 26, Chicago, Ill.: “My victory is to not have to use my arms to cover my stomach.”
• Melissa, age 33, Oswego, Ill.: “My victory is to not have to use body-shaping undergarments.”

As part of this new campaign, Kellogg’s has introduced 2 new products to help with your weight management goals.

Special K fruit crisps-these bars are 100 calorie per pack. 2 bars in a pack and 5 packages in a box. Fruit crisps are drizzled in vanilla icing, and made with real fruit.

*** These bars are delicious, they taste just like poptarts. just half the fat. They come in strawberry and blueberry.

Special K low-fat Granola-This cereal has clusters of whole grain and sweet honey. At 5 grams of fiber and 3 grams of fat per serving this is a great way to start the day.

*** This is really good, I am not a big fan of Special K cereals, but low-fat granola is really good.  My husband likes it also, which is rare. It has a very strong Honey granola taste. The box says lose pounds in 2 weeks. I think that is if you eat it with skim milk. This is a great healthy breakfast.

Disclosure: I received products courteous of Kellogg’s for my review. No other compensation was received. All thoughts are my own.

The new Oscar Mayer super thick cut applewood smoked bacon is sliced twice as thick for more bacon per bite. The bacon is smoked for hours with applewood chips for a restaurant inspired bacon experience.

Some facts about this new bacon:

• is the first super thick bacon available nationally that offers restaurant inspired taste.
• twice as thick as regular Oscar Mayer Bacon with nine slices per package.
•  made from a more premium cut that’s specially selected and hand trimmed to meet standards of restaurant chefs.

****These are big slices of bacon, but are very delicious.they take about 10-12 minutes to cook, but it is very well worth it. The downside to the bacon is there a 7g of fat per slice. This is the bacon you would want to use on a bacon cheeseburger.

availability: in stores nationwide December 2009

Retail price: $4.50 per package

size:16 oz 9 slices
