Say NO to Seconds

This magnet may seem cold to some, but it's a great reminder that if your meals
are complete, you wouldn't have to worry about seconds. It annoys me when a
meal isn't enough, so I am deliberate with my meals to make sure that they are
well rounded. Your body isn't content when it lacks the necessary nourishment,
and the same applies when it comes to vitamin deficiencies in the body.

The 2nd magnet seen below is just as good, and at times snacks are the thing
that will creep up on someone. Meals may be solid, but snacking may just be an
unconscious thing not even considered as something that may affect ones health.
Snacking on the not so healthy in moderation can happen with a thumbs up, but
I know personally that if I don't watch myself, I can end up snacking a bit too
much. I've been changing things up a great deal and have been actively making
sure that I'm making the better decisions as I continue to move forward. Having
fruit as a snack isn't a stretch for me and I've been keeping it pretty consistent.

It's another step forward versus a step back, and I think the vitamins are giving
me more than enough not to crave all types of crap to fill a void.

We have the option to wake up on the right side of the bed

Waking up feeling like crap is an option, for the most part.

I have been thinking, and thinking, and thinking some more. Not only that, I have been applying, and applying, and applying various things to improve myself. These products have been the motivation to take it there, because they've made it easier to take it there based on how I feel.

If the car is low on gas, it won't be able to reach the destinations I want to reach, and the products do that for me. Working out in the past didn't take away head tension, and I worked out less because of it.

Being more strategic and not just going about the day playing it by ear, fortifies the structure. Going along with what I mentioned during my 24-Day Challenge journey, I have been trying to keep meals and snacks consistent (and better for my health). I have been trying to also keep the final meal lighter, and if I don't, I can definitely feel that.

Sleeping after a meal (especially a big meal) is a bad idea, so not eating as late is an aim, especially if time is of the essence and I need to get sleep for the following day. If sleeping on a meal is uncomfortable, I can't expect to just sleep soundly.

The two just don't add up to a good nights rest, so that's a domino effect, which won't add up to waking up as refreshed when sleep is important. The products are even better when I'm not standing in the way of what they can do for my body. What good is gas in the tank if objects are placed in the tank to block it from fueling the system as good as it can? So being more strategic and taking a look at what I'm doing, further improves, me.

What does that mean for the day that follows better meals (lighter but complete dinners), a full nights rest, and the nutrients filling those required slots from the products (to prevent deficiencies)? That allows me to place my best foot forward in more ways than one, and I'm noticing even more improvements. I can't say that everyday is a right side of the bed type of day, because things do happen, but the factors I can control are optional.

Things like SleepWorks come in handy on the nights where sleep may not be so easy to accomplish, but its necessary for a big day. If it has the chance of being a stressful one, some people go with Oasis, because that can also affect you, and ClearMood to help brighten their day for those times that they might feel down. These things not only help adapt to the situation, but thinking of all the bad choices made while feeling like crap, options are a beautiful thing.

I have to bring up head tension again, because that was big for me. I had to lay down at times, avoid the light, I would even get an upset stomach for some reason when it would really hit me that bad. It disrupted my work time, and while in college, it would stand in the way of assignments that were online or when I had to read a textbook because the pain would be around my eyes and so forth. I had to take something over the counter for the sake of gaining relief, and it took a part of my day away. That sucked 125% times 10, I absolutely hated it, and the extra strength over the counter meds would have me projectile vomiting (ain't nobody got time for that!).

(So far) In 2015 I haven’t had to take any over the counter meds for head tension at all.
