Here are my final log entries / notes:
PHASE II – DAYS 11-24
Day 11
Thursday 12/13/2012
*Despite waking up at 5:30am, I am feeling well rested and
ready to tackle my day. I find that I am
energized, even with back-to-back appointments.
I am able to work with out getting sleepy, maintain acute focus, and
have high energy through out my day. I
am excited to work out! I like the way I
am feeling physically and mentally. An
added bonus is that I don’t feel crazy hungry between snacks or meals. (It seems like they are arrive just in
time.)
Even though I have not weighed myself yet, (on purpose) I
can tell that my waist is slimming down.
I can start to see my abs again and I can see the definition on my arms
again as well. So far so good! Now that I am seeing results, feeling and
performing better, I am motivated even more to continue on and see what else is
in store for me. (By the way, I have a
friend who is doing this with me, and we have had very similar
experiences). It’s fun to send each
other texts and say, “Hey… are you feeling this____?” or “Are you experiencing
that_____?” Today I got a text that
said, “My pants are loose!!!!!”
I’m usually pretty cynical about products and I am not a
pill popper. I stick to natural herbs,
vitamins, and amino acids. After doing
some personal research, I found that the quality of these products are in
alignment with what I believe in and would definitely put in my body.
I was curious to see for myself how this challenge and these
products would work for ME, rather than take someone else’s word. Also, I wouldn’t feel right recommending a
product to someone that I have not tried myself. (Not to mention, I’m selfishly doing this as
my own “jump start.”) So far, I
like! So far, I recommend.
