An Aside--Had dinner tonight with a former student. Was so fun and relaxing. I treasure those times with my adopted children! It was nice after working registration at school all day! Little things like are moments to treasure.
I promised last night that I would post results from the different "experiments" I did this summer. (I started the last week of May.) I was going to do charts and graphs and make it all colorful, and maybe I will later. For now, I'll just report.
- 2 weeks supplements only--No weight gain
- 2 weeks taking supplements "when I remembered," eating like I used to--10 pound gain
- 8 Day Ignite Cycle--14 pound loss! :)
- 2 weeks eating healthily (eating right!), no supplement--No weight gain
- 2 weeks, no supplements, eating crazy, but not 5 times a day--6 pound weight gain.
So, synopsis--The supplements work! Eating healthy works! Eating bad, doesn't work! (And it makes me feel yucky!) And I'm pretty much where I was the last time I reported. I'm glad I played around with things, so when people ask, I can report based on my findings.
There will come a time when I am maintaining at the weight/size where I want to be. Then, I will not need all of the supplements all of the time. Many of my friends doing the program pick and choose the supplements they want to take regularly and the ones they only use when the do an 8-Day Cycle, etc. (I won't go into all of it.)
However--I know that I will now and forever use Xyng for energy; Global Blend for antioxidants and super fruit goodness; Xypstix for inflammation and also antioxidant and super fruit goodness; and Axion, our multi-vitamin/multi-nutrient that just makes me feel wonderful. These are the wellness products, and I would recommend them to everyone (after they check for allergies, etc.).
I'm ready to get back on the program because I feel so much better when I eat healthily. All the experts aren't lying! :)
