Wellness Progress

It has now been 18 days since I began my saturation period with the Genesis and Ultra Vitality nutritional drinks from Symmetry Corp. Have I felt a difference? Well, about 3 days ago, I pretty much jumped out of bed before about an hour and a half before the alarm went off (5:30AM) and made a full breakfast, played with the dog, wrote in my journal, did dishes, made a homemade lunch to take to work, etc etc. Could have been a fluke, except it happened again the next day. And that day I scrubbed the bathroom, did laundry and a bunch of other little household chores all before taking a shower and getting ready for work. And again this morning I was up and at 'em only I decided to just relax a little, after all it is Friday.

Now maybe there are some of you out there that do this kind of thing everyday or are at least able to get out of bed no problem at 5:30AM, however, for me I typically set my alarm as late as I possibly can and still hit snooze a few times and basically have to use all of my bodily force to sort of roll myself off the bed and sluggishly walk to the door to let Tatonka outside and then shuffle back to the bathroom to "hurry up" and get ready for work.

Okay so maybe that is no big deal either for the people who are slow to get up perhaps you can still accomplish all you would like to do and more at the end of your day. But again, I am just comparing this to how I was not even a few short weeks ago. If I had something planned after work, it was really hard for me to get through it and then I would have to come home and crash and if I was out past 8:30 - 9PM I would almost be falling asleep on the way home. Plus I usually do my best to only schedule 1 or 2 evenings worth of activities during the week because I seriously would not have the energy to do anymore than that.

Now this past week, I had commitments everyday after work that lasted until 9PM or later and still came home and was able to stay up and read or watch a movie or do whatever. I don't know if this sounds like much to some of you, but for me, someone who has been called an old lady by her friends more times than is healthy for a 32 year old, that is a pretty major task (plus I have been told by a couple doctors that I most likely have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or something similar, which basically means there is nothing they can do for me besides tell me to live with it). The only other thing in the past that has seemed to help me with CFS type symptoms was acupuncture.

My boyfriend who also started taking the Genesis and Ultra Vitality at the same time has reported more energy. I have also noticed that he seems a little more "vibrant." Plus, he seems to have more stubble at the end of the day - bad for him, but good for me :O)

And one more major breakthrough! My mother actually complimented me like 4 times in a row the other day. As I was getting ready to leave she looked at me and said " You look younger." Then " You look healthier." And " Your hair looks better and your skin too." And finally, "You look thinner." Compliments from my mother don't come easy - so I was impressed!

Seriously, as I stated I would do earlier in this blog, I have not altered my diet or exercise regimens - the only difference has been the addition of Genesis and Ultra Vitality. Try it for yourself for 120 days and if you don't think the products did anything for you, Symmetry will give you your money back (less S&H).
