OK, I’m gonna start at the beginning of this month, the month of May, 2009. Of course we all know, especially us women, when something has gotta change. For me, it was my progressive weight gain. I mean, all I had to do was to just look at food and I’d gain weight! Very frustrating to say the least.
No, I wasn’t the type to be up at 5:00am jogging or on my way to the gym. Or eating bird sized portions and abstaining from anything that reeked of more then 50 calories. I was just living my life like anyone else, as balanced as possible but non the less, I was continuing to put on… Yikes! Weight. In fact I found myself weighing the most I’ve ever weighed in my life!
So about one month ago, I decided to do something about it. I found a bottle of a well known fat burner and metabolizer sitting in my cabinet. This bottle had been staring me in the face for the last six months or so, every time I opened my cabinet door. Finally, I took it out and decided to try it!
The first night was spent like sleepless in Seattle. I ended up watching TV until 3:00am, went back to bed and maybe slept one hour that night. The next day I noticed my heart racing, hands jittery and yes, a little more energy for sure. Did I sleep that night? No. So I decided not to take the tablet after 12:00 noon, yes, I was able to sleep that night but the racy heart and shaky hand syndrome continued. After several days of this, I ended up throwing the bottle and contents straight into the garbage can. It was a good feeling…
It was about this time that my cousin, Elaine Bateman, introduced me to Cal NutraSciences, Inc.and their CORE4 weight loss products. Of course, I was not at all interested, this being am MLM and all, well that’s another story all together. Anyways, I finally gave in and decided to take the plunge and took Cal NutraSciences challenge to lose 8 lbs. in 2 weeks using CORE4.
I was so determined to make it work that I even announced my intentions on my Twitter and Facebook accounts, a huge thing for me, since I have pretty much always been a very private person.
Well, when the two weeks were up, I was so surprised! Did I make the challenge? Pass the test? Stay tuned!
