A new day

So this morning I had my usual Shakeology breakfast, which I took a picture of to show. It is like drinking a salad, but SO much better tasting. The way I make mine, it literally tastes like a chocolate milk. Even better than any fast food could serve, and SO much better for you. Your entire fruit & vegetable serving for one day is all in one packet of Shakeology, amazing. Anyway, for the average person Shakeology is enough. But as you have discovered from my previous posts, for me, it's not. Due to my hormone levels I have to add some herbs and vitamins to my daily regimen. I've also taken a picture of these vitamins. Basically what it boils down to is Vitamin D3 (any where between 15-20,000iu a day).

Vitamin D prevents osteoporosis, depression, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and even effects diabetes and obesity. Vitamin D is perhaps the single most underrated nutrient in the world of nutrition

Kelp which helps support and healthy thyroid and can help regrow hair. I lost tons of hair when I was pregnant, each time. The first time it grew back quick nisely. The 2nd time, again those gosh darn hormone levels, it didn't grow back. The top of my head is very thin. So I did some research and found that Kelp had been proven to regrow and stop hair loss. Very nice. Don Quai & Femalite are 2 hormone herbs that work and compliment each other. It's like having a headache and taking one motrin. The one take the edge off the pain but doesn't quite totally get rid of it, so you add another one. Same situation. Last, Cocoa Well True Energy with AdaptoStress3. During the normal time of the month I don't need this, but when my hormone cycle begins, this relieves the stress, tension, anxiety I feel and gives me energy. So there you have it, there's my morning ritual. As good as all of this is, there are days where even all of this just doesn't work. That's when I turn to my next possible problem, either my diet or lack of calories needed. If I'm still having trouble going or I find myself crashing, I have to look at my food choices. The questions I ask myself are: am I getting enough calories? Did I eat enough high lean protein? Those are pretty easy to answer and pretty easy solutions. I also try to get at least 80 oz of water every day. Every time I crash or feel fatigued, even if I'm not hungry, I try to make myself eat a snack of some type of protein. That's my morning so far, let's see how the rest of the day goes :). I hope this finds everyone well.
