Hmm. Ninjas.

Lisa's actually gotten me to start taking vitamins regularly for the first time in my life. Monstrous fucking GNC horsepill Mega Men vitamins bigger than my thumb. But she said that we're both going to take care of each other, and we're both going to work on our health so that we won't have problems later on, and I made a promise. So.

I'm also drinking this utterly fucking ghastly Celestial Seasonings "Detox A.M." herbal tea that she says really helped her, and while it claims to have a slightly vanilla flavor, it reminds me more of curdle. But, I made a promise. And flushing out toxins from my system probably isn't a bad idea. (Plus, it's supposed to help cut fatigue.)

In less yucky tasting news, Alternators Sideswipe tastes like sweet cherry pie. So much so that if I get a windfall in the future, I might actually consider giving Lisa the Alternator, and ordering myself the Binal-tech version, because I'd like to see him in Die-cast. As it is, however, he's a fun toy, and while it took me a few minutes to figure out exactly how to transform his arms back into the vehicle, I like the overall results.

I decided that since Wooster sucks about stocking Energon or TF's in general, I may sit out of the majority of Energon (though Landmine, E-Megs, and Omega Supreme will probably end up on my shelf), andj ust concentrate on finding Alternators as they come out. This will also be a lot nicer to my little wallet.

It's another day. We'll see how it goes.

Mega Men is a pretty good all around vitamin as GNC stuff goes. As well as the most affordable. If you ever have any other GNC questions, I've picked over a decent amount of their wares.

Makes sense. It seemed to be a good 'base product' from the looks of things.

The guy in the store did try to sell me the 'release' weight loss stuff. I told him no, since I've been focusing on the Eat Right and Excercise plan, but how would you score it? If you think it would help, I might go for it.

They may have finally stopped, but a lot of their weight-loss stuff is/was ephedra-based.

Even if it's not, that sort of stuff tends to be more chemically and not really "good" for you. Eating right is the better answer (with exercise, of course).

Same goes for vitamins. They digest better when they come in food, and naturally (e.g. wheat bread is better than enriched white). Vitamins are ok as supplements, however, just not the only source for something (and with a few exceptions, like A, too much of a vitamin will just be excreted harmlessly).

Yeah, the ephedra stuff and the lack of 'good' is part of why I've really avoided that stuff. And believe me, I know a vitamin does little. :D That's why it's bundled with the eating better and the exercise.

Have you considered green tea instead?

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Actually, I drink green tea all of the time, as does Lisa. She added this stuff, though, for colds and junk and such, and said that 1 mug a day made a real improvement, so I'll do one mug a day too.

I'm such a sucker for her.

It's love. It's not supposed to make sense. :)

Re:

Well, yes. :D

Still, it's impressive. I used to have a notorious problem with remembering to take my medicine and/or vitamins, and now I'm damn near religious about it. All because she asked me to.

There's a...dammit, I think it's an Indian detox course, that's really major. I wish I could remember the damn name of the stuff they use, but basically, you eat nothing but variations on it. Food, drinks, you name, it's all got some specific compound, which the course is designed to saturate your body with. It soaks up all the toxins and the crap that just can't be flushed out, and then...well, the last day or so of the course isn't pleasant, but you're supposed to feel like a new person afterwards.

That's probably a bit extreme though.

Sounds kinda fun. If I ever got the chance, I'd probably try it.
