Finished my P90X!

Well I have now finished my P90X program and feel great!  

With a combination of Youngevity supplements, good nutrition and exercise I now feel better than ever!

2 Months Down!

I have now completed my 2nd month of P90X.  This month I missed a week of exercise due to a much enjoyed vacation but got right back into routine once I got home.  

I have been taking polen burst, 1 healthy start pack per month and I am drinking Rebound FX before and after every workout!  I must say Rebound FX has easily become my favorite energy drink.  I find I have way more energy before and after every workout when using it.

P90X 30 days

Well I have survived my first 30 days of P90X and have been getting better at sticking to my diet.  I have been doing the standard P90X routine and trying to follow the good food/bad food guide the best I can.  After 1 month of P90X I haven't noticed much gain in overall muscle mass.  I actually have dropped down to 149 lbs.  But P90X covers everything from cardio, flexibility to muscle building.  When it comes to Cardio and flexibility I've noticed a big difference in just one month.  I'm hoping to put on more muscle mass these next 2 months so I will need to push extra hard on the weight training days.

Rebound Energy Drink

Just before my workouts I have started to drink ReboundFx Energy drink. I've become a really big fan of ReboundFX.  I find it gives me a very noticeable energy boost for during my workouts and also is a great recovery drink for afterwards. 

I usually mix about half a pack with a glass of water before and during my workout and the rest of the pack for another glass afterwards.   Depending on how thirsty I am.

It has a lemony citrus taste that at first I must admit I was not the biggest fan of.  Not because it tastes bad, I simply am not a big fan of lemon flavored products in general.  Though after taking it for about 3 weeks with my workouts, I literally crave it now.  Sooo goood!

 Reboundfx offers a balance of antioxidants, natural herbs and more than 75 essential minerals. This blend of nutrients works with the body to replace the nutrients the body loses through regular everyday stress and exercise.

If your going to be working out I highly recommend giving Rebound a try

Hitting a Plateau

After a month of doing my own exercise routine of lifting weights around 3-4 nights a week, I have come to a bit of a plateau in my workouts.  I looked around at finding an exercise routine that I could follow combined with my youngevity supplements and diet. 

I decided on giving P90X a shot since it focuses on strength, flexibility and Cardio... Something that I definitely was missing from my workout routine. Wow did plyometrics kick my butt!

Month #2 April 2012 Exercise Time!

After taking Tangy Tangerine for a month now I have started to feel more and more energetic, enough that I've decided that it was time for me to dust off my neglected bowflex and try and put on some muscle!

I started with a basic 3 day exercise routine, 

• Day 1 chest and shoulders
• Day 2 back and abs
• Day 3 arms and legs 

I would do 3 sets per exercise aiming for a maximum of 8 reps per set in and effort to try and build muscle.
   
My routine would last for about 45 mins per night and I would try and exercise 4-5 nights a week.



One week into my exercise routine I upgraded my supplements to include all 91 essential Nutrients.  

• Tangy Tangerine for my 60 minerals and 16 vitamins.  
• EFA Plus Capsules for my Essential fatty acids
• Osteo FX for calcium and magnesium to promote healthy bones and joints 
• followed by a Whey Isolate shake for after my workouts.

Note that the recommended dosage is 1 healthy start pack per 100lbs body weight and though I am 150lbs I have just been taking the equivalent of 100lbs per month.

After 1 month of taking Youngevity supplements and exercising I am feeling better than ever and ready to take my fitness to the next level!

                 March 20th 2012 - 147lbs                                                April 26 2012  -  151 lbs

Month #1 March 2012

For the first month I started taking Tangy Tangerine as a replacement for my water/pop that I would take with me to work.   I bought a glass water bottle that I would mix 2 scoops with 16 fl oz of filtered water and drink it throughout the afternoon.  I was skeptical at first about taking a vitamin supplement as every other vitamin pill I have ever taken had given me wicked stomach cramps for about an hour after taking it.  This was certainly not the case with tangy tangerine.

After the first week or so I noticed that I was feeling a bit more energetic and after about 2 weeks I was no longer needing to pass out for a 20 min power nap after eating supper.  At this point I started to faze out the bad things in my diet and start eating a bit healthier when I could.  I took the good food/ bad food list and started to loosely follow it.  Cutting my fast food runs down to once every few days or so and dropping my pop consumption to about 3 cans a week, cutting out gluten on the other hand.. can't say I'm there yet but I made an effort to avoid it if possible.

Recovering my Health

For the last couple years I had really started to notice a decline in my overall health and energy.  Seeming to start about 2 years ago after I had my appendix removed and the ongoing development of a chronic sinusitis condition that no matter what I did to alleviate it would not go away.  I just started to feel more and more tired at work and at home.

My personal routine consisted of:

• 10:00 - 11:00 Wake up grab a bowl of cereal for breakfast and get ready for work
• 1:00 - 8:30 pm Go to work then for on my way home lazily pick up a burger or fast food for supper
• 9:30 - 10:00 pm Pass out for a 20 min power nap after eating and a day of work. 
• 10:00 - 1:00 am  Sit at the computer with a can of Coke while doing some gaming web browsing or watching a show.
• 12:00 - 1:00 am bedtime  
• Getting around 9-10 hours sleep each night
• On the weekends I would take the dogs for a walk at the off-leash parks and occasionally use my Bowflex I bought a few years back.  But I usually would just end up getting a headache if I overexerted myself and be even more tired the day after.

It finally got to the point that I knew my sinus problems where not getting better and the constant sinus pressure was starting to drive me mental.  I bought a neti-pot, started taking Oil of Oregano and even started to vacuum the dogs thinking I might have developed some kind of allergy to our pets.  Then I came across the website of Dr. Peter Glidden and started to learn about Naturopathic medicine, food allergies and Nutritional deficiencies.

I learned that most people today are nutritionally deficient and that the majority of diseases can be prevented and recovered from by proper supplementation.
I had heard on the radio a couple years back about trace minerals and micro-nutrients, how they have been proven to be extremely beneficial in Alzheimer patients.
Centuries of mining, farming, and irrigation have eroded these minerals from our soils. These mineral deficient soils are then used to grow and cultivate our food. Because of this, our food is lacking in essential minerals.

After a lot of researching I ended up ordering my first container of
Tangy Tangerine!
