Trying to Get Healthy

I always sort of cringe when I wake up grumpy and don’t feel particularly well. Starting the day off on the ‘wrong foot’ cannot be good, can it?

Hopefully things improve.

I think my body is just going through a bunch of ‘stuff’ right now. First of all, I am still battling this THING that almost everyone I know has in some stage. I would call it a regular head cold except that it lingers, and lingers, and lingers. It moves from your head to your chest and then back up again. It doesn’t hinder your daily grind, but feels like a constant thorn in your side, always there, always bothersome, but not quite enough to keep you out of commission…

But let me be clear: even though I am not ‘out of commission’, I am miserable.

On top of the illness that I have had for more than 2 weeks now, I am 6 days into my Herbalife plight. Six days really isn’t very long and like everything else in my life, I want instant gratification but am not getting much. A few pounds lost and a wee amount of inches, but considering my strict adherance to the ‘guidelines’, I was hoping for more changes. Since the changes aren’t appearing on the outside yet, I have to assume there is a lot of changing going on in the inside…

Which explains why I’m making zillions of bathroom breaks, my stomach is alittle queasy and my head is often just a tad sore…

You are probably thinking that I am doing something wrong or that this Herbalife stuff isn’t good for me, etc… But you’re wrong. This is exactly what happened to me last time, and what happens to most people who start taking the products. Problem is that most people start feeling these changes start happening and they panic, quit taking the products, and revert back to their old habits. Unfortunately, this is all part of the process. The vitamins and supplements are flushing toxins, which explains my stomach problems, and my need for water and caffeine explains my headache. It will pass soon, as it did last time, and as it does for everyone who actually gives this a chance, and I will feel much better.

I’m certain of this because it has happened before. And it isn’t unbearable, it is just a tad of a nuisance. Maybe coupled with my bad head cold, it feels worse than it really is. I don’t know.

If you follow me on Facebook, you will see that one of my friends Kyley is also taking Herbalife. I didn’t know this, and was surprised to see her comment about my post yesterday that she has lost 52lbs and feels incredible! It is a fantastic product and once you are over the initial hump that I’m in right now, it is all blue skies!

Will keep you posted on my progress. Have a great day!
