Starting W3

Jan 25, 2010

Staring week 3 of my back on track, eating right, getting healthy kick.
I implemented a daily vitamin regimine of: 
ALIVE liquid multivitamin (1 cap full)
Super B complex liquid **includes biotin, b12, b6, rivoflavin -b2, niacin-b2, thiamin-b1** (1 tbs)
Biotin 100 mg (2 pills)
Super E complex 400 iu **from d-alpha, beta, delta, & gamma** (1 soft gel)
FizzC Cal-meg (1 pkt) **includes 1000mg C, 500mg Calcium (citrate/ascorbate/malate/glycinate), 250mg Magnesium (citrate/ascorbate/malate/glycinate), 200iu D3**
Chromium Picolinate 1000mg (1 pill)
Iron (ferrous sulfate) 325mg (2pills)
B12 100mg (2 pills)

A couple of observations:
1) I note that the liquid vits are much easier to ingest than the hard huge pill forms. So Im ok with liquid. Additionally, the fizzy cal-mag is MUCH EASIER to handle than trying to chop down on those huge hard calcium wafers.  Could have sworn i broke a tooth the last time i tried to down one of those suckers.

2) Ive been taking the Iron (ferrous sulfate) 325mg (2pills) for approx 2-3 months now & recently implemented the B12 100mg (2 pills) becuase of low energy. I did not notice any distinct increase in energy. i was still tired, still going home after work & crashing for at least an hour.
However, today i noticed a HUGE BURST of energy! I was buzzing around the office today & only had to 2 cups of coffee (instead of 3 or 4). Im still a bit tired this afternoon - but all in all, I think thats a good break through.

3) Ive dropped 8 lbs, but my PT says my caloric intake(900 - 1150) is too low & i need to bump it up to 1200 - 1500 of the right kind of foods.

I feel good & Im determined to implement that third component (of daily exercise) into my routine.
