Hi
February was my month to get back to work.  I really tried - honest.  But I had an unexpected response to trying some supplements that made things worse.  
I bought 3 supplements and my husband suggested that I try one at a time, gradually.  Well, I tried the first one - a really big seller here on bodybuilding.com - and I felt awful!  I decided to buck up and see if my body would get used to it.  I gradually increased the dose, like the bottle said and it didn’t get worse, but certainly did not get better.  I felt dizzy and had a very upset stomach, which kept me from working out very much, or sleeping well and I constantly wanted to eat to ease my stomach because it hurt the most when my stomach was empty.  I gained about 2 pounds.  Sigh……..
So, I put those on the back shelf and went to the other supplements.  I had similar problems with those, but at a less severe level.  I still don’t feel back to my normal self again.  
I do really well with whey protien and MSM for my arthritis, but I was hoping to be able to use a fat-burner to work along with diet and exercise, but it made diet and exercise harder, so I was losing ground.  Bummer.
Hopefully, I’ll be back to my normal self in a couple of days.
On a positive note, our new house is on a quiet road that is great for taking walks and the hills keep the heart going.  We take 60+ minute walks in addition to HIIT on the elliptical.  That’s going to help!
