4 Weeks Later...

I have been taking Plexus Triplex for four weeks now. FOUR WEEKS. And, while I'm a little scared to admit it, I feel great. 


When I first started this journey, I was:
  • Only going to the bathroom 3-4 times a week.
  • Lethargic most of the time.
  • Experiencing some crazy mood swings which often included violent outbursts and a lot of "huffing".  
  • Suffering really terrible PMS (even through I  am on the pill).
  • Sleeping well, but only feeling good after 8+ hours of sleep.
  • Getting "hangry" (the type of angry you get from being hungry) every single day.
  • Dictating my meals by what I "felt like having" a.k.a. craving.
  • Gaining weight here and there.
  • Lactose Intolerant. One slice of pizza would have me feeling crappy almost instantly.
  • Struggled with seasonal allergies and relying on daily allergy pills. One fall, my symptoms were so bad I was prematurely diagnosed with Mono only to find out that the blood tests were negative and low-and-behold, it was allergies! 
  • A burper. My burps and I were infamous. They were large and loud and would always leave me feeling better as they relieved whatever bloating I had.


After four weeks of Plexus TriPlex I am:
  • Going to the bathroom at least once a day.
  • Have a good amount of energy throughout the day.
  • Am fully in control of my emotions and actions. 
  • Experienced one cycle which was only slightly more emotional than "non-cycling" state of mind - but NOTHING like what I would experience before. 
  • Sleeping really well and feeling rested even when I only get 6 hours of sleep.
  • Have only experienced "hangry" a few times and usually when I don't have a substantial breakfast (Leftover Thanksgiving pie is not breakfast, Amelia).
  • Planning my meals a week ahead and sticking to it... sort of. 
  • Have not gained weight even through Halloween and Thanksgiving!!!
  • Can survive a slice of pizza without bloating and feeling "crappy" the day after. 
  • Not relying on allergy pills in order to breathe through both nostrils.
  • Only burp occasionally, and usually after drinking something... I think I'm an "air swallower". 
Now, if you read my last post, I thought I was feeling pretty okay... or "just okay".  I couldn't complain because I knew there were other people who were in worse shape than I was. I wasn't overweight or suffering from any diagnosable illness or ailment. But, I wasn't doing great by any means, which is obvious when I reflect on where I was in comparison to where I am today, four weeks later. And I cannot wait to continue this journey!

1 year, 8 months, and 8 days later

I was first introduced to Plexus on February 22, 2016 .  1 year, 8 months, 8 days later, here I am, telling you about what held me back for so long and what it was that finally pushed me to take the plunge.  Rather than drone on and on, I've tried to make it a little interesting and compiled a list...  3 reasons it took me so long: 1) I Didn't "Need" It I was in good health. I was only in my mid-twenties. And I was getting by... wasn't I? 2) It was too expensive As I said in #1, I was in my mid twenties. Need I say more? 3) Everyone said it was a Pyramid Marketing Scheme And those are bad, aren't they? Everyone seems to think so! But, I said yes because: 1) "Getting By" stopped being enough I didn't want to just "get by". I wanted to soar. To be free from my new lactose intolerance, my constant mood swings, my rare and irregular bowel movements(TMI?). Oh, and my chronic allergies, my bloating, cravings, all-day sna...

A Much Overdue 5 Month Status Update

Looking back on my very first post here, in this blog that I've failed to update... and all I can say is WOW!!!!! It's been 5 short months because time flies when you're having fun and I have really been having fun. Or, I've at least been feeling better! When I began this journey I was tired and had decided that 25, with no children, and a steady 9-5 job was just unacceptable. My symptoms included: Lactose Intolerance Constant and uncontrollable mood swings Irregular bowel movements (like 3 times a week) Chronic burps - seriously, if you have known me over the last 10 years you know when I mean. Lack of energy throughout the day Bloating Allergies Cravings -mostly for salt, sugar, and carbs All-day snacking Here I am, 5 Months later and very proud to update: I ate CHEESECAKE yesterday. It was delicious and I didn't get sick! I am very much in control of my mood I go to the bathroom at least once a day I only burp when I swallow air (eat fas...
