It has been quite a long time since my last post, almost a year.
Today I have started a......hmmm....what would I call it? Well my sister would call it a Lifestyle Plan, I'm going to call it an experiment. :) The program is called Thrive, you take 2 capsules in the morning, an 8 ounce shake, and wear a patch that has vitamins that will seep into your body throughout the day.
I took one pill right when I woke up this morning, on an empty stomach (just like the instructions say). I went an took my shower. Then after my shower I did the half shake that you do for the first 2 days. I didn't add anything to the shake, just the powder and water. It is Vanilla flavored. Not fantastic, but not horrible. Then I put on the patch, I put it on the upper part of my butt. Not one to show off things like that, other people will wear their patches proudly on their arms like a badge of honor, not me. That thing is hidden like a bad tattoo.
Oh......another thing about this experiment?! I can't have my caffeine fix every morning! I am a Starbucks drinker! So I go to Starbucks this morning and talk to my fave Barista Amy, and ask her, what can I get that has no Caffeine in it? Well, I can get an Iced Americano Decaff! Yay!!!! Tastes just a bit different than my regular Iced Coffee, but it does leave an after taste to it.
I am doing this experiment because I want to loose weight. I want to look like I did when I was 21. I do not expect this to happen, but if I even loose 10 pounds then I will be a convert. I will be a believer. I am very skeptical of this program and have been since my brother-in-law and sister started it. All of the claims of more energy, less body aches, feeling full more quickly. All these claims just made me less willing to try it. But the day I stepped on my scale and saw a number I did not like, made me decide to try it. So this is the beginning of my experiment with Thrive. For now this blog is private and I am not telling anyone I am writing it. When I am done with the 30 day supply I will publish it and let the world know how my 30 day experiment went.
Here goes everything!
