Finally

Not that I suspect anyone who might happen upon this pathetic blog has been holding their breath since my last installment about my weight and vamping up my workouts (and if you have, then you seriously need to get a life)....but I'm pleased to say that, in the past couple of weeks, I'm finally seeing an improvement! Moreso in how I feel (lean, slimmer, fitter, stronger) than in how I look and certainly better than my weight would otherwise have me believe, since I'm still sitting at around 136lbs (i.e. 4 to 6lbs heavier than my long-time average and about 9lbs heavier than I was when I lost a bunch of weight this time last year).

My clothes are finally fitting better, almost all of them - no more half-mast trousers/jeans due to there being more bubble to my bum or bigger handles on my hips. Overall I feel so much better. I don't even care what the scales might say. They've rarely ever told me anything that made me feel better anyway so, as a rule, I almost never weigh myself except perhaps for an occasional check-in to keep on track - or to gauge how badly I might have gone off the rails, e.g. after Christmas/vacations. So I can't even say I've lost a few pounds (and certainly no change due to the downright useless and overrated Garcinia Cambogia (GC) weight loss 'wonder' (as in, I wonder why I wasted my money) but the changes to my workout seem to be having the desired effect. And thank goodness for that because far too many items in my closet must be struggling with low self-esteem from being abandoned in there, yearning for a chance to see the light of day again - ideally without bursting at the seams.

And, in follow-up to my quick argufying & grumbulating post about Trusted Nutrients, I prodded them again last weekend about the mysteriously never-arriving bottle of Raspberry Ketones, which they've promised to ship out again. And then, lo and behold, the original package FINALLY arrived this week - post-marked over a month ago. I know Canada Post sucks ass, but 5 weeks from Ottawa to Vancouver??? It would've been quicker if they'd walked it down here.... on their hands.... backwards..... and blindfolded! Unbelievable!

Anyhow, it turns out (according to a little world-wide intrawebby research) that this raspberry ketone stuff shares all the same 'Dr. Oz says....' glorified hype around it as ye olde GC, so needless to say I'm expecting equivalent results. I'm just glad I got refunded for the GC and the long-awaited RK is a customer service freebie, so I won't bitch too much about Trusted Nutrients, since they've finally come through for me, but the products are proving less than impressive.....but let's see if there's anything remarkable to report after a few weeks on the RK.

But seriously, no pill's going to make a difference - if you want results then you have to be willing to put in the work. Just shut up, get on with it and make it happen.
