#fire 55

.. I haven't posted anything in a while, I've merely just been reblogging.

today marks the begining of my 7th week of turbo fire. since jury duty has gotten me out of whack i've been fumbling around with my workouts but tonight I've seem to have caught up. I did Fire 55 and Core 20. I would've added Stretch 40 but since that class is the epitome of all evil I decided to leave that alone and MAYBE do stretch 10 4 times lmao. but everything seems to be going well. I've kind plateaued at 162, but 2 more pounds and I will have lost 20 pounds and hopefully that will help with this PCOS foolishness that I've been fortunate enough to have -_-. 

Looking back on week 1 of turbo fire I've seen a lot of changes not only in my energy level when doing fire class, but in the way my clothes fit. YAAYYY! Now if only I could get these cravings under control. I'll admit they're not as bad as they used to be but man when they come, they come hard, like Jack Bauer going after the bad guy, they won't stop until they're satisfied.

I've been taking metformin for exactly 3 weeks now and I have yet to notice any changes or side effects, yep thats right no explosive diarrhea for me =]. I'm convinced that people who've experienced any side-effects as a result of taking Metformin are feeling these things because 

they're not eating when they take metformin. Taking metformin alone agitates your bowels

they're drinking coffee. [which is probably the main reason why people are complaining of diarrhea]. Coffee agitates your bowels, so drinking coffee & taking metformin is a sure fire way to get explosive diarrhea. If you can't live without your daily morning coffee, take your metformin at night while you're having dinner that way it can work in your system while you're asleep and you can still be a coffee addcit, although you still might want to cut back on the amount of coffee you drink. it's really no good for you any way.

they're waiting too long to eat. Metformin is can lower your blood sugar, so eating on a normal schedule, for example, every 3 hours or every 4 hours will benefit you [with our without the metformin]. for those who are thinking well I cant eat every 3-4 hours, in between meals, with or without metformin, you're supposed to have a snack, some peanuts,cashews, fruits, yogurt, etc.

for those wondering about weight loss with Metformin, I honestly don't think it's helped me lose any weight, I'm taking a low dose [500mg] I hear 1500mg+ really gets things jumping. I was going to try it but I was scared to I decided to ease my body into it, plus I prefer taking 1 pill a day as opposed to taking 2-3 pills every few hours.
