Thriving day 5

Today was day 5 of the thrive program. On Wednesday I weighed myself and weight was 237.1 pounds. Today I just weighed again and I'm at 236.7. So far I haven't seen much difference using thrive and I'm praying I feel the difference soon. I don't know if I could take the disappointment of having hopes killed again.

Day 2 Thriving

I decided to do the program with the shake being done every other day. Today was my first day without the shake. I didn't feel hungry earlier like I've been told could happen. I ended up with a massive headache this morning, took some ibuprofen, drank some gatorade, but it wasn't easing up. Ended up resting in my office for about an hour and eventually it went away. Not sure if it's Thrive related or sinus related or something else. I hope it doesn't happen again. Still feel no different: no extra energy or alertness, etc. I'm determined to stick it out through the first month. Praying for a noticeable change and that this program works wonders for me. Lord knows I need something different to happen. I've been stuck in this rut for too long.

Day 1 Thriving

This morning I took my capsules, drank the shake, and put on my patch. Today I don't feel too different but it could take up to 2 weeks to notice a difference. We shall see...

Today my Thrive package came in so tomorrow starts the next step in my journey to change for the better. Having something different, something new to do is just what I need. I'm eager to get healthy, fit, and happy. This morning I overslept and felt like I was going nonstop, playing catch-up all day. I'm exhausted when I get home and all I want to do is put on PJs, grab a quick bite to eat, then crawl into bed to watch tv til I get sleepy. I will do my best to post here daily to keep track of how I feel each day as I begin Thriving!

A new journey...

Ever since I graduated from college, I've slowly, and without realizing it, become depressed, tired all the time, lonely, and truly uninterested in life. I wore a mask to cover up how much I was hurting because I've learned not to depend on others. My mom passed away suddenly 18 months ago and it made it all worse. I've struggled to find a new normal and to figure out who I am when I'm truly on my own. It's been very tough and I still struggle at times. My hours at work have increased without realizing it because I don't want to be home alone. Some nights I have activities and meetings: Girl Scouts and church mainly. When I do get home at night, I barely have energy to make sure the pets are cared for and grab a bite to eat for dinner before I'm crawling into bed. Just to repeat it all the next day. Weekends were scout events, errands, maybe a few house chores if I really felt like it. I've slowly realized that I haven't really truly enjoyed the things I do for a long time. I've started a few new changes and hoping they make a difference for the positive. One of those is that this week I will be starting the Thrive program. I should have my first shipment tomorrow night so I'll officially start Tuesday morning. This blog is to document my journey and to keep me accountable in keeping track of how Thrive affects me and how I'm feeling each day. I'm hoping that this will help me gain the energy back to feel like I want to do something and not just HAVE to do something.
