Garcinia Cambogia - Fact or Fiction?

I've been part of the weight watchers community for about... oh... 3 years now? Something like that. And don't get me wrong. I love weight watchers. I've lost 50lbs doing it! It's amazing.

BUT... and there's always a but... some are bigger than others... hehehe...

I've hit a plateau. We all do. Right? Right. But mine has lasted for over a year now. I need something to kick my system back into gear. I've tried a few things. PGX. Chromium Pincolate and White Kidney Bean extract. Etc etc etc.

Nothing seemed to really work that well. I've scoured the Internet for something to help me. Something legitimate. Something that has been tried and tested. That people have had success rates with. REAL results.

Then I started reading about garcinia cambogia extract. And of course there's the American version and the Canadian version. There's one big difference. HCA or hydroxycitric acid. It's not in the Canadian version of this supplement.

So I tried a bottle of the Canadian version. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Hell... I even added a raspberry keytone supplement with it because the guy standing in front of the area I was looking at in the GNC store told me to do! He said it was, and I quote, "a good combination".

Oh heck, I didn't even really know what he was talking about, but it sounded like he had some success with it. So hey! Why not. Meh. It did nothing.

So ordered a three month supply of garcinia cambogia online and got it about 11 days later, a week an a half. Which was awesome. Cost me $106 Canadian for three bottles. Which isn't bad considering that the combination of raspberry/GC Canadian version would be about the same for three months.

Here they are. Three black bottles of this stuff, staring at me. What have a got to lose? Besides the but. Hehehe.

Took my first dose today. Two pills a day. TWO. That's it. The other stuff was two pills per MEAL, SIX in total each day. Oh my gosh. That's a big difference. I don't have to cart around a bunch of pills in a container in my purse and worry about forgetting them. Nope. Wake up, two pills, done.

So here's hoping. And I'm going to keep a weekly record of this. Man. I hope this stuff kicks my system.

Counting points. Running. Weight lifting. Zumba. And now, I've added this. Hope, hope HOPE it helps me in the end. :)

Thanks for reading. Come back next Wednesday for an update. :)

Optimism: up there... but not all the way

The End isn't always THE End

After almost seven years I'm closing my dayhome. I've had the same girl with me for four of those years. None of my kids were with me less than a year. It's amazing how attached you get to other peoples children. Finding the courage to tell the parents I was closing was the most difficult thing I've ever ever had to do. I know it won't be the last difficult thing, and I know that there will be moments in my life that will not even compare to this. For now, this is my life. I cry at the thought of losing these kids. I smile at the thought of working outside my home again. I get upset when I think of all the things I'm going to miss with this. I laugh at the thought of getting my art "studio" back. I am conflicted emotionally. My husband, my boys, they've got my back. They're supportive and encouraging. I've got wonderful family and friends to help me through this. It is a selfish thing of me to feel this way, however, I need to

Washing My Hair in the Sink

We woke up late this morning. Jerome and Xavier decided to sleep in and Sylvain didn't set his alarm. I woke up and looked around, it was bright in our room. Oh no. That means the sun is coming up. That means it's after 7am. Crap. Turns out it was 7:45am. My dayhome is 'supposed' to be open at 7am, Sylvain is supposed to be off to work at 7:30. EEK! Jump out of bed, don't even get dressed, run downstairs and check the front door. Nobody. Whew. Then I start to wander around and turn on lights, straighten up and realize I probably have to wash my face. Make up, wonderful... unless you go to bed with it on. Anyway. Everything started out in a hurry, but slowed down after that. I was going to have a dayhome safety check done today, but she called and rescheduled. But that wasn't before I ran around putting things away, cleaning things, locking up cupboards, etc. Sheesh. In between babies snacking, playing, diaper changes. And that was BEFORE lunch! I remember I have

Where to Start

 Time flies when there's a pandemic and you're in out of school care. I swear I just made the previous post the other day, not three weeks ago! So much has happened, but before we even begin to talk about that, let's discuss some topics that I want to go over. The next few posts that I create will be centered around behaviour. Yes, I know, everyone talks about behaviour and how it's linked to feelings, situations, peers, caregivers, weather, meals, etc. Really it all is. However, there is so much more to it than.. Joe hit Sue because he was angry that she took his truck. While Joe is probably very angry and did indeed hit her for that reason, is there something else? Should we be helping him unpack and determine where those feelings came from? So much can be learned. After that I hope to go over observation vs supervision. Yes. There is indeed a difference. Maybe not to most, but if you have intent and purpose as motivation to watch what the children do and how they int
