A healthy food rant.

Today would have been Day 4 sans caffeine, however, this morning I decided to start taking the Green Tea capsules again. I started eating a lot more once I quit taking them. Whether its because I wasn't taking them, or the fact that I'm a little stressed out, I don't know. But either way, I decided to start again.

Still not going to drink any caffeine though. No soda OR sweet tea! Its hard, but I know it'll be worth it!

Yesterday I went grocery shopping and, not for the first time, realized how dang expensive it is to eat healthy! I tell you, I am positively torn! Between buying good, healthy foods and snacks and saving money! Normally, I spend approx. $90 on groceries for 2 weeks. I thought there would be a drastic difference this pay day, since my hubby is in training and won't be home at all. I was sure that I'd have like, a $40 grocery bill. WRONG! Now, I didn't spend too much, only $70- something, but still!

I mean, I didn't buy any junk food! None! I bought avocados (a dollar a piece!), melon, lots of fruit, some good juice, and some almonds, for snacks. It's so much cheaper to just buy a bag of chips, or some crackers!

Anyway...so that was my little rant. Hopefully I'll start losing weight again, with taking the capsules. Here's hoping.

Plan B: day two.

So. Lipodrene. I like it!

I said I'd post about the effects, and the supposed effects of it, so here goes.

Energy: Hell yes. I had so much energy yesterday that I scrubbed the kitchen floor on my hands and knees. Had it not been pouring rain almost all day, I would have gone out running, I am convinced. And, did you know me, you would know just what that means. I hate to run.

Appetite suppressant: Yep. I took one pill in the morning, after I woke up, and then one again after lunch. I didn't even really want to eat lunch! All I ate yesterday was some string cheese, and some chips and guacamole. I really wasn't hungry. This is also a good thing for me, because I am a snacker. Yesterday I didn't get the munchies or anything. It was great!

Weight: I know its really too soon to tell, because I've only taken the pill 3 times now, but I'm hopeful!

Now, it does make you a little nauseas, but I read all about that before I started taking it. But once you get a little food in you, it goes away. And water. Drink water.

So...yeah! I think I like Plan B way better than Plan A! I'll keep you posted!
