CLA

I caught an episode of Dr. Oz last week about melting fat and losing weight. What's strange about this is that my mom called me and told me about it, too. While in Walmart Friday evening, I picked up some CLA to see just how it works. I started taking it Saturday evening when we got back from the beach. I did that because, according to WebMD, it can cause diarrhea and I didn't want to deal with that away from home.

I've taken it twice a day since the first dose and it's not bad. There's no after taste but I think they look like leeches. According to Dr. Eva Selhub, this supplement works in addition to diet and exercise. Apparently, it speeds up thermogensis in the body, which helps melt fat. So I figured it couldn't hurt.

Take a look at the video to learn more about CLA.

Kids!

Since my last post, I've gotten off my butt and cleaned the house. During this time, the boys have done everything in their power to screw me up. They've been fighting, making messes, not listening, you name it. I can't stand it anymore!

Typical Weekend

I was so excited for school to be over so that I could have more free and family time. Well, I've been out of school for a month now and I still feel like I don't have enough time to get everything done. We spent yesterday at the beach, which means all of my housework was left until today.

HEALTH UPDATE

Today was my 3 month check up with the doctor and I was nervous, to say the least. I always get nervous when I visit the doctor and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe it's because I'm obese, or maybe it's because there are so many health issues on both sides of my family. I just don't know.

It's Time to Love MYSELF

Because I have a DVR, I rarely know what shows come on which nights. Right now, I'm sitting here watching last night's episode of Extreme Weight Loss. I can't tell you how much I identify with Trina! No, I'm not a nurse, but I am a giver. I give to everyone before I give to myself. I realized Monday in therapy that I'm looking at taking care of myself all wrong.

Fighting Boredom

Here lately, I've been so bored with everything, including work. It just doesn't do it for me anymore and I don't know why. I used to love my work but things have obviously changed. I just don't want to do anything. I talked to the hubs about it yesterday and this is what we came up with.

Worst Food Experiences

Here lately, we've been eating out a lot. Mainly because our schedules have been so hectic. As a result, I've been to various establishments lately and not had the best experiences. I can't believe how little pride people take in their jobs.

Student Loans are In

Okay, so I was so excited when class was over because it was my last one, right? Yeah, well, I'm not so excited anymore. Last week I received a bill from a lender stating my account was over due. What?! I called and got that sorted out. Today, however, I had to participate in exit counseling as part of my financial aid requirement. That scared the sh!t out of me!

My Perfect Woman

As I was swimming laps in the pool this afternoon, I was thinking about my perfect woman. This woman is intelligent, strong, beautiful, and healthy. This woman is also confident, secure, and has a positive self image. She is kind, trustworthy, empathetic, rational, and loving. Who is this woman?
