Note:
That red patch on my back is where my Nicotine Patch was.
I moved it to my leg when I was taking the pictures LOL!
Conclusions:Did I Like REDuction.
I think I do
The AM Pills I think did give me some energy and I belive helped me be more alert and focused throughout the day.
The PM Pills definitely made me have one of the best night sleep ever!
I am unsure if the Appetite Control of the AM Pills worked well for me.
But it may be also with me trying my best thru this program.
I think I noticed the hunger usually after a hardcore lifting day.
Will I get REDuction and use it again?
I am actually already have my 2nd bottle of it then will have a month OFF Cycle!
This is a GREAT experience for me.
Win or Lose this contest I still Win in the End!
How?
I learned so much this whole month of using REDuction and keeping a log on everything!
I learned that my diet NEEDS improvement!
I honestly believe that my results would have been MUCH better if my diet was improved during this whole month!
The change is definitely noticeable ... I am just disappointed at myself as I know I could have done much better!
But that is why I say no matter what, those that have done this contest are ALL Winners in the End!
Live and Learn!
Adapt and Overcome!
What am I going to do now?
I think I am going to take it easy on the Journal Logging for now.
Takes way too much of my time.
I will still use SparkPeople.com to monitor my diet and also my spreadsheet to monitor my workouts and cardio.
IF I do post my Journal/Logs in the forums again, I don't think I will make it so detailed as my log for this contest.
I will definitely keep a log for my personal use no matter what.
I was posting before that I may start doing the Rippletoe Program.
But while I was reading a bunch of stuff on the net I stumbled upon StrongLifts 5x5 Beginner Strength Training Program!
http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5...aining-program
I think I will start with that for now and see where that leads me in the future.
Doing this as I KNOW I need to improve my form and thinking that starting from the beginning will do me best to achieve my goals.
