2 New Weight Loss Tips



So, I recently started using to new nutrient based things to help me in my weight loss journey. I haven't really been taking them long enough to give you guys any final results but I would like to go ahead and let you know what they are and how I fell about them so far. I've been taking them for a week now.

The first is Gymnema Sylvestre and it is a natural herb that helps regulate blood sugar and curbs your cravings for sugar. Now, I am a sugar addict! I mean if I had my way I'd have a pastry (or 2) for breakfast, something sweet for lunch and something sweet with dinner not to mention juices and sugar based snacks throughout the day. I mean I've got it bad.

Now I'm starting to think the Gymnema Sylvestre is working because I purchased a bundtlet from Nothing Bundt Cakes Tuesday and it is DELICIOUS...but I've only managed to eat a third of it. I've had it for 2 days already. NO WAY IN HELL is this normal for me! So I think this one is working.

You can purchase them and GNC and Whole Foods but I got them from Amazon.com because they were much cheaper. I take 2 a day one right before lunch and one right before dinner. It is suggested that you take them twice a day before your 2 biggest meals.

Although I'm a diabetic, I don't check my blood sugar levels the way I should and I HATE Metformin so I also don't take it the way I should. Please don't judge me, I already know how irresponsible that is which is why I'm looking for alternative ways to control my blood sugar levels. I will start checking my levels again Sunday.

I am not a medical professional so please don't change your routine because of what I'm doing. I'm just sharing MY journey with you.



The second supplement that I've begin taking is Trace Mineral Concetrate. The idea behind this is that it provides a healthy dose of the minerals your body needs to stop us from mindlessly snacking in search of getting them.

I haven't been as snackish but I can't really say rather this one is 'working' or not. I'll keep you guys up to date. I purchased this from Amazon also. .

I really hope to lose 25 pounds before the 2017. Wish me luck!

Please see the links on my blog page to purchase.

Hey y'all!    I was finally able to get my grubby little paws on more Michaels Craft Store Grab Boxes. It was completely by accident, I simply wanted to buy a t-shirt to complete an order and I saw 4 boxes so I purchased 4 boxes. Here's what was inside: Most of this will get used. I was most excited about the floral department stuff and the lights. The total for my boxes is over $400. Anything I can't use, I'll be donating to my job!

#100BlogPosts - Post #4: Lovers and Friends.

       So today one of my Facebook friends shared an article about loving someone you can never be with. It was an interesting read and made me think of a situation that I am in. Not a situation where I am necessarily in love with a person that I can never be with so much so as not even knowing if you and the other person can ever be together. What happens to love deferred? If you click with someone and there's not just the click but also a spark between the two of you but for one reason or another you NEVER even get to go out on a date what happens. I mean I guess in some situations you won't necessarily talk to the person again but in my situation I do still talk to the person. We have a decent enough friendship but a part of me wonders if we're really good friends or are we holding on to this in limbo relationship in hopes that one day our situations will change and we can give it a shot.      I kind of want to have him...

BOOK REVIEW: "I Almost Forgot About You" by Terry McMillan

While I'm not a Terry McMillan fanatic, I do usually enjoy her books. This title was hard to read and confusing from the very beginning. I understand that Georgia is on a mission to find herself but the books is long and gets boring often. Plus there are way too many characters to keep up with. I will still pick up a Terry McMillan book in the future but I do not recommend this book.
