It Works!® Week 1: Keto Coffee and Super Greens

I was introduced to this product about 3 years ago. I wasn't financially stable then. I have been doing my best to follow through with my Life Choice program. It does work - slowly but surely. It has better results when I exercise. Even during my state of depression, I was able to lose 10 lbs. I went from a 140 lbs to 130 lbs weight loss commitment. Mind you, I started this program since 2012. Dr Ornish was very direct when he stated that it's not for everyone.

Since March 18, we were not able to go anywhere; let alone - to the gym. I live in a very small apartment. There wasn't much space to go around and "exercise." My husband and I finally agreed to have our own space to workout. I have rearranged my office space to where I can make all the "noise" I want without interrupting his peace.

I actually started yoga on the 1st week of March. The reasons why I was reluctant to commit to this method of exercise was because, I thought it would aggravate my rheumatoid arthritis all the more. After doing a lot of research, and watching a video of an elderly 90 year old hunchback lady, I was convinced. If Yoga can help her walk upright and not suffer anymore pain from arthritis, it's got to work for me too. I've been in physical therapy since 2004. Stretching has helped relieved some of my pain during the summer. It doesn't help when winter comes. After watching what Yoga can do, I wouldn't mind the extra vigor stretching that Yoga offers.

So far, it's been quite challenging getting the Yoga poses down pat. The wonderful thing is, I can always replay the video tutorials again.

I was recommended the Keto Coffee bundle because of my allergy to Chromium. It's actually delicious. I just discovered on Monday (5/18/20) that Guava juice mixes well with the Super Greens supplement drink. It does have an acquired taste because of the celery in it. My husband described the after taste as 'grass clippings.' 😂

The week has come to provide you an update. I've been surfing the 130 lbs for quite a while since my last update in February, weighing at 124 lbs.
Don't mind the facial expression. I was just frustrated with the camera lighting and the location of the view finder on my phone. Taken on May 15, 2020.
My body processes food differently. That is one of the reasons why I went along with the Life Choice Program. The schedule is on my terms instead of following through a rigorous schedule. How did I survive Basic Training, you ask? I ate very little during breakfast time. They couldn't expect me to finish a full meal within 15 minutes before physical exercises. My body will reject the food. They never asked me again when I retched in front of them during Physical Training. My Basic Training breakfast consisted of 2 eggs, 2 bacon strips, a buttered toast and a glass of orange juice. I remember my Training Instructor looking at me pitifully because he had never seen anyone eat so little. He expected my breakfast to have sausages, bacon, pancakes, hash browns, fruit salad, and 2 glasses of orange juice.

It wasn't until I was assigned to my permanent assignment where I was able to have a full breakfast. Our Operational Air Force Physical Training started at 10:00 am versus 6:00 am. My body was able to completely digest all the food before a physical exercise.

It has been a fulfilling week. Even though I weighed myself on Tuesday afternoon, being at a 128 lbs since I started using this product, having to lose 2 lbs within 5 days is quite a breakthrough.

This morning was a relief. I weighed in at 127.5 lbs! I'm really happy where this is going. This was me right after Yoga.


We'll see how the next week goes...
