Day 68

Keeping on weight is so hard to do. Recently, I've started a diet that would assure I keep a blend of "thickness" and muscle even when I did not have the time to eat or work out. However, this regimen included weight lifting and exercise which I decided I'd be ok with for now.

For the past week I've been including supplements in my daily eating. Mixed with raw veggies and several egg whites in the morning I have been downing 56 drops of Dong Quai and Maca root. A few days ago I began 2 capsules of Fenugreek and after filming the show with Dr. Mac I included her Bella Nutri supplement for healthy skin, hair and nails.

I know what you are thinking. Gigi this is a lot of additional additives. How will you come to know what works and what doesn't? Very well. I have not been using the recommended amounts for Dr. Macs Bella Nutri. Instead I've been using one capsule a day until I am ready to double it. I am ok and willing to take these steps slowly and give my body the opportunity to accept these additional nutrients. After day 4 of eating raw greens and taking my supplements I noticed increased energy and a decrease in hunger. My concentration was on point and I was putting in 12 hour work days.

After a few more days, with the addition of heavy weight lifting and focusing on my bottom I had went from 118 to 122 to 125 and then 127. This was all in a matter of about one week. I knew sooner or later I would not be able to keep up this bottom thickness...yes my bottom was getting heavier than my top... so I decided to visit an organic supplements shop and purchased some organic soy protein mix. BOY THIS STUFF IS GREAT WITH HONEY AND HONEY ALONE!

Don't go anywhere as I keep up this diet and see if these supplements work on enhancing my muscular and feminine capacity :-)

This Sunday, at 2 a.m., we all will have to set our clocks back by one hour. If you are anything like me, this time change completely throws you off in every way possible. NSF recommends a few ways to help you adjust.

· Maintain your regular bedtime Saturday night, when clocks move back, and awaken at your regular time on Sunday morning. This can give you an “extra” hour of sleep the next morning and help reduce your sleep debt;
· Block out light and keep your sleeping area dark. Standard time causes the sun to rise about an hour earlier. This can impact sleep, especially for people accustomed to awakening before or around sunrise. The light itself can disturb sleep, so it is always best to sleep in a darkened room;
· Increase the light when you wake up. Light has an alerting affect that may help you wake up. It will also help adjust your biological clock to the “new” sleep schedule;
· Staying awake at night or sleeping until your desired wake-up time may be helped by gradually moving bedtime and awakening later by 15 minutes every one to two days.

A few other tips I think would help:

· Stay away from caffeinated beverages.
· Don’t exercise right before bed for a few days before and after.
· Eat more foods that will give you energy. VEGGIES!!
· Drink plenty of water (at least 8 cups) throughout the day but not for a few hours before bed.
