GCG update

So...  I've been trying to figure out a schedule in which to take my supplements that works for my wonky schedule.  I can't pinpoint a specific time, but I take two GCG upon awakening, two more a few hours later and two more a few hours after that.  I also have started with 1/2 a multivitamin in the morning and evening as well as 600 mg of calcium and 400 mg of magnesium daily.  The only one I haven't started is fish oil--because I haven't purchased it yet.  CoQ10 might find its way into the mix at some point as well.  While it's too soon to feel a difference, I am determined to continue these supplements for at least 30 days.

I wish I could say that I've been on track with my exercise.  This will be the hardest part of my wellness for me, but I WILL OVERCOME!!!  I'm using Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution.  Her workouts are straight-forward and only about 30 minutes.  I have to admit that after I completed attempted her first DVD (I did about 17 minutes total), I was sore for a good two days afterward.  I simply have to motivate myself to pop that DVD back in the player and push play.

At the grocery store over the weekend, I bought ingredients to make a couple of meals that wouldn't be on anyone's healthful eating plan.  Too many changes too soon is a surefire recipe for failure.  I am slowly depleting less than desirable food choices from my home.  For instance, I ate the last of my bagels and cream cheese this morning.  I am still completely off soda and drink lots more water than I ever have.  I'm soon going to reincorporate variations of a green monster at least once daily into my plan.

Like I said, the exercise portion of my program will be the hardest to embrace.  I really am going to give it more of an effort that I ever have.  JM and Zumba WILL BE my new best (video) friends!
