Day 15


Today is day 15 of taking the Lumiday. I am confident when I say that this will be an everyday routine for me. To take this pill. I didn't really notice a difference in the way I felt at first. That first week I never noticed anything different with my body or the way that I act. The second week was much more noticeable. I could even tell that my husband and son were noticing the way things were much smoother in the way that I act and react to everyday life.

No one can say that they notice how they act and react in life. Most everyone does actions and reactions without much thought. This is why a lot times you get the most outrageous happenings. Some good. Some bad. Lately before taking anything or realizing I had a problem. I would lash out over the smallest of things. For example, the husband not picking up something I asked the day before. I would yell at him and tell him he better do it now. Then it would ruin my mood for the rest of the day. That isn't how it should be.

Now that I am two weeks into taking Lumiday I can say that my brain is not weighed down my the useless worry-some thoughts that are nonsense. It's like a breath of fresh air. Strange but true.

The one side effect that I have noticed is heartburn. Not long after I have taken the pill, I will notice heartburn for about 30 minutes. Other than that, I have no complaints!

Today, I Try Something New

For a while now, I've struggled with anxiety and levels of stress. What do I stress about? Good question! I have no clue! Well I know I worry about the smallest, simplest things in life. Things that shouldn't be a big deal, I tend to make a big deal. I never realized I had a problem until a few years ago. I used to take Lexapro to chill me out. It worked great. Life was much better to deal with. Then my health insurance was gone because the job I was working was going away. So I had to finish what I had left. I was not able to get anymore. I took it for almost two years. Fast forward to today, 4 years later, and I'm still fighting this battle. It will be a life long battle but I really feel like I need something to help me fight the struggle.

I saw a commercial on television that sparked my interest. Lumiday. I am always sketchy when it comes to anything that they advertise on t.v. but it got my attention. I asked around to people I knew and got some thoughts on it but no one I knew had actually tried it. I did a little bit of research and concluded it's basically like a multi-vitamin in a sense. (look at the ingredients)

I talked with my husband and we decided that I would try it. We went to GNC and got a 30 day supply. Today is day one. I will keep a record of how I feel each day and try to update you each week to see how I feel and to see if it really helps me. Wish me luck!
