So Many Methods
Yes, finding those weight loss stories are so motivating, but you also find that everyone has such a different approach to their weight loss. How do they do it? From major exercise routines and colon cleansers to medications like Stimerex ES, everyone has a different answer. So yes, you can get motivation, but how do you decide which approaches to try? Which will work for you and are still healthy? That’s a tough question that I’ll be researching and considering over the next few months. I want to push the boundaries, find something that works, but not make decisions that aren’t healthy.
Vitamins
Do you take vitamins? How do you decide which ones to take? There are SO many out there. There are vitamins for men, women, teens, and children. But then there are a dozen types for each of those groups. They all list such great benefits, you want a few of these and a few of those, but obviously you only need to take one vitamin. What do you do? And when I talked to my doctor about vitamins a few years back, he let me know that he thinks women who are of a child bearing age and have any chance of becoming pregnant should take prenatal vitamins. Why? Well actually it made sense after he told me – he said that some of the most important times for a baby is those first few weeks, months when many women don’t even know they are pregnant – this is when that little life needs those essential vitamins. He says there is no harm to you, in fact the vitamins are good, pregnant or not. My question this year for him will be – do they help with energy? That’s why I think I need from a vitamin – some help with my all the time exhaustion.
Thanksgiving Err….Eating Begins
Holiday feasting has officially started. Our PTSO fed us lunch today and boy was it good. This is the time of year when it’s almost impossible to make wise decisions. I soooo love our holiday food. This is the time of year I need some sort of diet pills that would make my metabolism like that of a 13 year old boy or something. I just can’t resist the dressing and dumplings and pies and deviled eggs…and don’t forget the rolls and the banana pudding. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!
10 Minute Workouts
I’m curious to know if anyone has used any of the 10 minute workout videos and if anyone recommends any over the others – which order to attack, that sort of stuff. I’m happy to see that it looks like they require no exercise equipment. As much as I’d love to have workout equipment, there isn’t room in our house. 
I’ve put several into my Netflix Que, and I’m going to try out several and see if I like them, and which ones I like best before making a purchase. Would love input if anyone has used any of them….
Some Other Suggestions
With this ongoing tiredness, like I said I focused on vitamins, diet, and water. I decided against a diet supplement even though along with the tiredness is weight gain, and I’m taking a general multivitamin for now. I’ve realized that I simply don’t have time for major changes in my life so I’m in the process of trying a new workout routine also – the 10 minute workout videos. I am hoping I can just start the habit of doing 10 minutes right after I wake up each morning. We shall see, but I’m hopeful that adding exercise back into my routine will give me just a little more energy.
