Accidental Vitality Experiment

Hi!

I had an interesting experience with Vitality this week.  It reconfirmed to me that consistency is the key!

Thursday morning I set my pills on the counter to take – I must have been distracted because around 4 pm I noticed them on the counter.  I was surprised that I had forgotten them because I have been completely consistent with taking them since the end of October. Anyway, I decided not to take them and to skip one day. Friday morning I woke up feeling good but made a decision not to take my pills again to see if I could tell a difference.  (Honestly, I grappled with that decision because you know I have been able to get off of ibuprofen completely and have not had the daily headaches and arthritis pain that I have lived with for years -- so wondering if that would all come back made me a little nervous.)  Saturday morning I woke up and knew my answer!!  I had a rip-roaring headache and my right hand was hurting so bad that once again I had to take lots of Advil to even cope.  Can you believe that??  Two days off and wham! Of course I took my pills on Saturday!

Sunday, I slept in a little and got to church at noon for choir practice.  I realized that I had once again forgotten my pills!  I sent a text to my girls that said “Bring me my magic pills!”  They knew exactly what I meant but when they showed up at 1 – they had forgotten them.  By the time I got home at 4, I decided it was too late and I would just wait until this morning.  Guess what??  I woke up with another horrible headache and the joints in my right hand are swollen.  Oh man!!!  I do not dare miss another day! 

I have believed that consistency is the key – and it’s true!  Consistency is the key!!!  I feel so crappy this morning and am remembering that this is how I felt all the time before I started these pills.  This used to be my normal!  I just hope I can quickly get back to how good I was feeling. 

Anyway – Love this VITALITY!  I’m recommitted!!

I hope you are being CONSISTENT and feeling great!

Love ya-
Tayva
