No News is Good News

If you have been wondering where the updates have been, I am sorry. The truth is no news is good news. I have incorporated PGX Daily into my routine. After years of absence I am playing sports regularly again. I have been going for bike rides and walks. I can participate actively with my child's activities.

I have not time to do any crazy boot camps or diets. Do you?

Dawn Chubai Transformation Project

So I have been following a local TV personality who has been doing a transformation project sponsored by PGX Daily. She is about half way through her journey and I was interested to learn she has loss only 6-8 pounds. I saw her at an event two weeks ago and she looked good to me.

This is along the lines of what I have experienced after more than a year of PGX Daily. I haven't experienced a huge drop in weight and I was a bit disappointed. I looking foward to seeing her at the end. I hope her dedication will pay off and inspire me.

What to do with "The Vice Busting Diet" Book

Okay, okay, so I have been ordering PGX Daily obviously. Lately, each bottle I have comes with a book. Julia Havey's - The Vice Busting Diet. I have given them away to friends and now I am not certain what to do with the rest.

I searched the internet and tried to come up with some ideas on what to do with these books:
  1. Use them as weights for workouts.
  2. Cut out the middle to hold my iPhone
  3. Make a floating bookshelf? - I think this idea might work better with a hardcover
  4. Turn it into a lamp
  5. Turn it into a clock
Any other ideas?

Progress

By the way, I have lost some weight over the last couple weeks. I am still about 11 pounds over what I want to be but I'll be working on it.

Meal Replacement Powerful Side Effect

I have been using a PGX meal replacement called No NonSense. I only use it on occasion and not daily. I have noticed that the day I take a shake I have some... let's politely say loose movements. Reading the instructions I did note that initially my body may experience this side effect but I would have expected that I would grow accustomed to it. However, since I do not take a PGX Meal replacement everyday perhaps it is what I should expect.

I suppose I have two choice: a) scrap the No Nonsense Meal Replacements b) use it more often so my body is more used to it.

Run run run as fast as you can...

Run run run as fast as you can...no I am not the gingerbread man nor is it for exercise. While drinking the prescribed amount of water today I have had to go to the bathroom a LOT.

PGX Daily - Will Change My Life - Even If I don't

The clever slogan of PGX Daily softgels is "Will Change Your Life - even if you don't". Is in the realm of Red Bull's slogan "It gives you wings!!!" It is true but not really in the manner you would like to think it is.

For PGX Daily is it has changed my life.

1) PGX Daily has cost me $25.50 minus a coupon ;) . I could have bought a Lotto Max ticket and won $50 Million. I could have bought myself and 4 friends Caffe Lattes or a bucket of KFC Chicken. Instead I chose to buy PGX Daily softgels and I am not super rich, more popular with 4 friends but I may have indirectly prevented some weight gain.

2) The mere fact that I am taking PGX Daily has forced me to think about my health on a daily basis. But it this the bottle of pills or is this me?

3) It has challenged me to be more active and find better foods to eat.

4) It has raised my level of attention to making health lifestyle choices.

5) It makes me fell full or less hungry. Although I still have to change the way I approach portions at mealtime.

In my opinion the slogan is clever because it can be true, PGX Daily can change your life even if you don't, to the tune of $25 bucks or whatever you spend. However to believe that PGX alone can change your life with regards to your weight, BMI, or other health conditions without doing any exercise, improving your nutrition or quitting unhealthy habits is naive.
