Back on Track

I had my daily dose of PGX Daily today after missing for a few days. At dinner time I was definitely felt full or satiated earlier. I even made the comment to my spouse who noticed that I was not having as much for dinner.

Fell Off the Wagon

I have gone wayward and been neglecting my PGX Daily system for the past two weeks. Several excuses kids are sick, renovations going on, work etc.

Anyways, this week will be better. I promise MYSELF.

Did you redeem?

Hopefully you had a chance to take advantage of the $5.00 PGX daily coupon. It was a good deal. I paid $49.98 each for 240 softgels minus the $5.00. When I orders two (2) bottles.

The past weekend was good as far as eating. No breakdowns in will power. Tonight might be a test dinner as I have dinner with my in-laws. It is difficult to avoid the bad eating habits when I have dinner with them because that enjoy fine foods too much. I will prevail today!

My way to Use PGX

Currently, I am using PGX in the following manner. I eat two or three regular healthy meals each day. If I only have two meals then I use the No Nonsense Meal Replacement. In addition I use PGX Daily softgels once or twice a day to curb my snack attacks.

One thing I noticed is that I still have a habit of eating not because I am hungry but because I am bored or used to eating.

Some tricks I have been trying:
- Out of sight; out of mind - it was really hard during the holiday season with all the treats and goodies around. But now the holidays are gone it is a lot easier to tuck away junk food and keep eating properly.

- Chewing away - taking a page from some of the most addicted people's, i.e. smokers, handbooks. I am using gum. They called it oral fixation. I think in a lot of ways I am the same as a smoker trying to quit. I would put food in my mouth not even thinking. Now the I am using PGX to curb my appetite I have to reprogram my mind a little.

- Keep Moving - I have to keep myself busy. Without sports to occupy myself I have gone for walks and I am thinking about downloading some podcasts to occupy my brain while I exercise in this way. Gone are the days of pounding out a 30 min run so I'll need to use 60 min or longer walks to keep fit.

Anyone else have any tips?

Doing Better Before It is Too Late

Getting sick or developing a disease isn't something any of us like to think about but it does happen. And what happens when it does? There is this moment of panic as a quick series of questions race through your mind repeatly, "what are the chances it is serious?, what will happen to my family? what will happen to me?". Then there is the search for all the answers to these questions which only leads you to more. "what are the treatments, what is the mortality rate, what is the prognosis?". You scour the internet and health books. You make countless visits to doctors or your healthcare professionals for answers.

So begins a new stage in your life. When you were younger health issues did not concern you daily. Health and wellness did not invade your everyday life. Only more pressing matters like making more money, getting an education or finding true love occupied your thoughts. After having a serious health event changes the way you think. It changes the way you approach life.

You will vow to do everything in your power to overcome this or prevent it. You'll not only follow the doctor's advice but you'll do better. Permitting, you'll exercise more, eat better and take better care of yourself.

You'll only regret that you waited to take better care of yourself

New Year 2010

The New Year usually brought on a new goal to get in shape. In past years it would mean I would pick up the weights or go for runs. I would usually make up a calender not only to write what I have done but to write down what I am going to do. I used this calendar as a visual reward for a month of hard work.

Since I can not do heavy exercises at the moment I am writing a nutritional calendar.
