I reconstructed some of the yummy and oh-so-good for ya

supplements in my beloved Monster LoCarb Energy Drink....

Taurine (link)

Vitamin B Complex (link)

and Ginseng (link)

and even some Eleutherococcus Senticosus (and, link)

so-called Siberian Ginseng.

And left out, of course, the 

Guarana (lots o' links)

and caffeine @ 10mg/oz

In other words, 600mg w whole lot!

The herbs in the ginseng family are "adaptogens," 

which claim to help you adapt.

When I went to basic training, the only things I took 

with me was Ginseng, Arnica, and Aconite.

I loved homeopathy at the time.

And was also a Vegan.

Then, later a Vegetarian, for many, many years.

But that's another story for another day.

I'm never good at setting goals...

I never was. And I'm even worse now.

But if I had a goal, it would be to continue with the 

"fitness" part of my weigh-loss journey.

And now that I have the caffeine consumption down to a 

manageable level, I can work a little harder on that.

It just sneaks up on ya, it do.

I'm holding steady at about 100mg a day.

I like the Yerba Mate, too.

2 cups of tea - no Coffee, no Monsters.

By the way, one cup of coffee has 100 - 150 mg of caffeine.

May 09 and May 10

In March 2011 it will have been 2 years

since I started LoCarbing. My weight 

is staying within the same range for the past 

few months. But my body shape has changed.

ALOT!  Guess I've got some settling-in to do!
