My first week.

Day 1- No change. Started with the Slim. It gave me the same full/puffy head I get when I eat a bunch of sugar or something. Didn't feel great in the hour after. The feeling faded with time.
Day 2- Decided to half the dose of the Slim. I nevereverever take any pharmaceuticals, so my body is sensitive (not to mention that my BMI is around 19, so there's not much body to cover).  Still felt that strange feeling, but less than the day before. No side-effects either. No headache or dry mouth. Woke up hungry for the first time in I-don't-know-when.
Day 3- Half dose again, but WITH breakfast instead of before. Felt much better that way. Started out this day thinking everything was the same again. Had eggs for breakfast yesterday and today. I realized when I was starting supper that I hadn't felt my gallbladder ache this afternoon... I don't know if I can say "I feel a difference!" But maybe the START of a difference.
Day 4- Took the full dose of Slim with breakfast again, and took one Biocleanse. Had an AWFUL night last night with the baby, but even though I'm still TIRED, my mind doesn't feel fuzzy. That probably sounds ridiculous, but if you've never had the I'm-so-tired-my-brain-feels-like-split-pea-soup kind of brain fog that comes from getting a good nights rest all of one night a week, trust me. It's crazy. I played a game of Settlers of Catan and actually had a thought process about winning. And it was a pretty close game! It's been FOREVER since that happened.
Day 5- Took the full dose of Slim (think I'll be taking the full dose from now on), and one Biocleanse.Yep. It's official. I can feel the difference. I had another horrible night with the baby last night, and my mind was still clear again today. Like I was yawning all morning from being sleepy, but still had the presence of mind to bring something up at a church business meeting, and remember off the top of my head the things I needed to remember to get at the store! Anyone that knows me knows my memory is a joke. If I could put the love heart-eyes emoji right here, I'd do it. Plexus, you're winning me over!
Day 6- Aaaaand I'm crashing. Ghhh. Bad night with the baby and then didn't have a moment to sit down and get something to eat (even though I was hungry again! Hurray!) until 1 in the afternoon. I'm a ball of mush. Sheez. I have REALLY got to get a grip on that one. Welp, tomorrow's another day. Onward! Upward! And so on.
Day 7- Back up. Already down to one cup of coffee today. Like I said before, it's not that I'm not still SLEEPY, but my mind just feels so much clearer! Really that's the only noticeable effect, but it's still an amazing one for me. I haven't been able to string five words together since my baby was born (she's turning 7 months at the end of the week). Excited for more!
Please also note:  I haven't changed my diet in ANY way. I haven't purposefully cut out sugar in a way that is abnormal for my every day life, I haven't purposefully tried to eat more veggies than I normally do, haven't really drank more water than I did before (though, I'm a breastfeeding mom, so I drink a lot of water just because of that)... and I really do feel different. It's so cool.
