Now, my product of choice for the challenge is the African Mango 1200 tablets. I received my package in the mail on Sunday and started taking them on Monday (yesterday). They are a pretty large in size but I just take them with my other 'morning' meds and am nonetheless aware of its size. As far as feeling funny, being that this is a dietary supplement, I haven't felt any different yet. Then again it is only technically day 2 - I will keep you posted, though I am not expecting any major side effects. The directions say to take 1- 2 tablets a day in the morning 30 minutes before food but because I do take other meds I am starting my first week off with just one pill a day and then possibly upping it to 2 next week.
Luckily for me the dietary guidelines for this regimen seemed similar to that of weight loss plan. I will need to watch more of my portion sizes and chose a few healthier options with my meals. I like that I won't have to cut out specific foods like no bread or absolutely no sugar. However, those late night buttermilk donuts aren't helping me any. I will be cutting out any and all soda beverages though. They do suggest limiting my dairy intake but that is an easy fix. I have been doing pretty good so far with my food choices. But I have already kind of cheated. Today is my birthday and what birthday is any good with out one piece of cake right ?
As for the exercise part of it the instructions just basically say to 'stay active'. Now for me that means carrying out our heavy trash bags to the dumpster across our complex's parking lot or taking that extra trip up and down the stairs to grab my cell phone that I forgot on my vanity rather than lazily just getting it the next time I have to pee. I also have my 4 yr old and almost 2 yr old that keep Mike and I on our toes. They are always wanting to do something; ride their bikes or scooters, going to the park, walking the dog, you get the picture. I am planning on busting out the ol' yoga mat and doing a few stretches and maybe a DVD in the morning before the munchkins wake up.
Do you guys have any pilates or yoga routines that you enjoy ? Please share !
