I like taking a serving of Super Foods on a daily basis to get a good dose of antioxidants. The particular kind I take – the Powerhouse formula – has good stuff like Organic Spirulina, Calcium, Maca, Oat Bran Concentrate, Whey Protein, Calcium Pyruvate, Glutamine Peptide, Creatine Monohydrate, L-Carnitine, Tribulus Terrestris and more… All good stuff for a person living an active lifestyle.

What I DON’T like is when a company changes a product for the worse. I suppose they weren’t making enough money with the original formula – but that doesn’t make me feel any better when I’m spending $100.00 per month on a health drink.

Not that I make a habit of eating fast food, but Danielle, her Father and I were out shopping for furniture for their new home in West Palm Beach – and I was hungry. Very hungry. I need to eat every couple of hours because I eat very small meals. Anyway…

I pull into McDonalds (the one on Okeechobee Boulevard near Congress) and the girl taking the order either didn’t understand what I was asking for or was on too many drugs to accommodate me. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, plain with honey mustard on the side. Well, I ended up driving away without ever completing my order. It was far too confusing for the McDonalds employee.

So. This past week I only lost a pound – down from 218.2 to 217.2. I suppose I should be happy for that – at least I didn’t gain or not lose anything at all. Honestly, I should be okay with it because I learned something in the process. I normally lose about 3 pounds per week. However, 1.5 is fat and the other 1.5 is muscle – not good. But there’s nothing you can really do about that. When you’re caloric intake is as low as mine – 1000-1200 per day, you can’t expect to keep all your muscle. No matter how heavy you lift – you’re going to lose some.
