What I'm Reading This Week #34

Hello you sassy beast!  Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend?  Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts.  I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season.  I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed.  It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll.   We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance.  It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th.  Do people even celebrate their 30t...

Results of the 12 Day Challenge

Well it's time to update the 12 Day Challenge results from Good Belly.

I started the Good Belly challenge on November 24th.  As I reported before, I'm typically a 3-4 times a week pooper and have often envied my Mr's clockwork bowels.  When he saw this in the store and we saw there were coupons involved to try this for 12 days, we figured why not?
The results were very encouraging!

Over the 12 days, I "dropped the kids off at the pool" 10 times.  I would say over a 6-8 time norm, that's a pretty good improvement.  A B(M)+, if you will.

I don't know if I'll ever be an everyday girl but I'll definitely take this and since half a serving has worked so well for me, I'll continue that dosage for the foreseeable future.  I've tried three different flavors so far:  pomegranate blackberry, blueberry acai and tropical green.  I like the last two the best and probably wouldn't get the first one again.  I've got mango waiting on me as well.

A pretty tasty way to get regular.

If you want to do your own 12 Day Challenge, go to their website, grab some coupons and get started!

If you have digestion issues, would you do the 12 Day Challenge?

    I am so happy for you. I know you don't like yogurt but it's a good thing to get probiotics in and this is a tasty way to do it. Even better that you didn't have to add a full serving in order to accomplish what you have.

      Yeah, yogurt isn't happening...ever, as you know, so this is a great alternative for me! Thanks for spotting it!

    I'm not exactly clockwork, but I don't really see it as a problem so I probably wouldn't bother with the challenge. I'm glad it's working for you though.

    Sounds like a shitty challenge.

      Good luck! I hope you can find it. If not, you can contact them with the name of a local health food store and ask them to carry it there and they'll try to get it stocked if they can!

    Tomorrow is my lovely "PREP" day for my colonoscopy on Thursday, so let's not talk about products to help with bowel movements right now, shall we?

      Thankfully your prep and this stuff are nothing alike.

      Have fun!
