Side Effects?

Hello!

Just going to start this one off with a sad note.... I had a spinach wrap with ham, cheese and a little ranch in it.... do you realize how many calories are in a spinach tortilla wrap!? holy crap... 210 for a whole wrap (not including your goodies).

Haha I guess that's not a sad note, but wowza... damn calorie counting makes you realize how much things actually show as. On that note as well, yesterday for the super bowl party.... ugh bad idea eating only crap food all day


=============================================================

Alright, on to the subject of this post.. I'm beginning to think there might be a few side effects of these pills (on top of getting tired of taking 10 pills every day....). I started having night sweats, or at least anytime I've attempted to nap or sleep lately. It could be something with the temperature here in our house, but could be with the pills as well. Another thing I've noticed is stomach and over all bowel movements have seem to sped up, which as well there is a diuretic in one of the pills that supposed to draw water out.... but oof. I also recommend staying away from alcohol while using these as since alcohol dehydrates and so does the pills, that could be kind of scary.

==============================================================

Time to do some measurements!

Neck: 17in circumference
Arms (bicep): 14.1in circumference
Thigh: 24in circumference
Tummy: 46in (HOLY CRAP)  circumference (give or take a few here as this was taken in the afternoon after gravity, water, and food from this morning would have changed how the stomach stretches)
Chest: 47in? (did this myself, I believe this to be wrong, will retake this later with help)

I will also put these in at Live Strong and M.F.P. to keep track!

==============================================================

I guess I don't have anything more for this, probably going to hit up the gym tonight if the girlfriend is up to it. If not, could always see if Brad is awake and wanting to go.

Peace Outz!

Always so quick like!

Hello!

Just another quick entry. I was able to start running as of Thursday night. Did a good 1.55mi (according to my Ipod) which I still need to calibrate running so that may be off, but I know I did at least 1.3mi on the treadmill.

I'm trying to figure out how to share my Nike+ runs as well as My Fitness Pal calorie tracker on here, but I don't think those sites will give an embed code or a share anywhere link.

In the process of saving this, going to work and coming back, I was able to put My Fitness Tracker on the site in two spots, one on the right side and one at the bottom of every page, so you guys can see how much weight I've dropped since my starting weight.

===========================================================================

Jen and I went to the gym last night as well, did a good .84mi run. I'm thinking I should make it always a mile so I get used to a mile run and need to get it down to an 10 minute mile, which wouldn't be bad for me right now. I'm sitting at an 14 to 15 minute mile which sucks.

Well, off to make some breakfast for the lady and myself!

Later folks.

Just a Quickie

Hello,

So, I have noticed that these pills make you feel much, much more full. After dinner last night, I had two regular sized (nothing overheaping, but ya know, something, normal sized) pork sandwiches, along with a tiny portion of potato salad, and I felt like I wanted to explode...

Now this morning, I had 1cup of Honey Bunches of Oats and an 5oz Orange juice (along with the three pills) and I feel overly stuffed. I see how they curve your appetite, make you feel way too full so you eat much much smaller portions. (which Complete Nutrition mentioned sarcasticly when I left "say goodbye to food!")

Well, I'm going to do some measurements tonight finally and *le sigh* photos of myself for before and after effects *ooh aah*.

Peace outz
