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!

new for me

For those of you who know me, I'm all about finding things to better my health and decrease my weight.  While I know that a magic cure for my fluffiness will not be found in a pill, I do believe that there are some supplements that can aid in your health goals along with making better choices and exercising.

Today, I started taking Nutrigold Garcinia Cambogia Gold.  It is supposed to amp up your weight loss efforts in addition to helping manage cortisol levels and suppressing your appetite.  It also claims to increase your serotonin to improve your sleep and your mood.

I'll update my findings here as well as what I'm doing in conjunction with the GCG supplement.  I am planning on integrating a multivitamin, an omega-3 and a calcium & magnesium supplement into my daily mix soon.  I'm ready to feel better, physically and mentally.  I've already quit soda completely and rarely drink Vitamin Water Zero.  Most of my ingested liquids are in the form of plain water or hot tea with raw honey.  I'm a slave to cheese...  *drool*

My biggest obstacle is going to be exercise.  I don't like it.  I'm lazy, unmotivated...and you have no idea how hard it is to get "all this" moving and keep it moving.  I AM going to make an honest effort to change the previous sentences.  I feel like some simple yoga in addition to some HIIT is my preferred course of action.  I have been walking to work (one mile three times per week), but I need to get back into the habit of walking home.  My friend has been bringing me home for months, and it's not doing me any favors.  And since the weather is cooler now, it won't be such an ordeal for me.  When it's hot out, I am MISERABLE!!!

Alright...there it is.  And here I go!
