Reliv day four

Based on glowing recommendations from Lloyda (and her amazing results) I decided to start using Reliv. Reliv is a series of powdered nutrients, all-natural, that are designed to get you into premium health. My combination shake in the morning includes the base nutrient powder, fiber, a muscle-building/performance powder, and soysentials (for the female symptoms - hopefully will eliminate my hot flashes). At lunch I use the Reliv weight loss shake and some supplements.

The routine is supposed to be a nutrient shake for breakfast, two supplements at 11, weight loss shake at 12, two supplements an hour before dinner and then a sensible dinner. Well, let's see...

I started on Saturday. Got up and had my nutrient shake. CHECK. Took two pills around 10:30. CHECK. Weight loss shake at 11:30. CHECK. And then we did my graduation and everyone wanted to go out to eat after, so ended up eating a turkey burger (with no fries) at 3:00. OOPS. And then had a few munchies at home - steamed carrots, cashews, nothing too sinful.

Day two. Nutrient shake in morning. CHECK. Two pills at 11:00. CHECK. Mother's day dinner at Texas Lone Star. OOPS. (did it sensibly, though. Had a salad.). Then I jumped off a cliff - pizza and beer for dinner. (did it count that I took my two pills an hour before?)

Day three. Perfect all day!!! Shake in morning, two pills, lunch shake, two pills, salad and chicken wrap for dinner!

So far, day four is good - I've had my morning shake. But I didn't get up and cycle because I'm totally cramped up. Assuming it's the Reliv starting to detox my system.

Still having hot flashes although I think maybe they've decreased a little. Nighttime is still unbearable. Happens around 2am - I wake up soaked in sweat, dying of thirst, and turn the air conditioning down to 70. :-(

Oh well, I'm sticking to it. I have lost a couple of pounds, but not sure if it's the Reliv or the working out... or probably both!
