Side effects of Hoodia?

March 28, 2007 by Tricia

I’m sure you’ve heard of Hoodia? It’s commonly used as a weight loss product. I’m wondering if any of my readers have tried Hoodia? If you have, what do you think? Have you lost weight? Has it worked for you?

I just visited the Hoodia gordonii Guide too see if there were any known Hoodia side effects and apparently there are none. Other weight loss products that contain stimulants such as ephedra can cause your heart to race and have been known to cause some very serious side effects, however as far as I can find there hasn’t been any serious side effects noted with the use of Hoodia.

Apparently you can get headaches and or become irritable when first using Hoodia, but that might just be the result of changes exercise levels or some of the side effects of starting to loose weight. In fact, changing your diet to eliminate empty carbs and excess sugars might give you headaches and make you irritable. This might be somewhat like withdrawl since your body must adjust to the change in diet.

If you are thinking of using Hoodia as a weight loss aid you might be interested in reading the Hoodia gordonii Guide to learn more about this natural weight loss product.

I should never make plans

March 26, 2007 by Tricia

Nothing seems to have gone as planned this weekend. In many ways that’s a bad thing, but in one aspect it turned out well.

The weather was actually fairly nice this weekend, although not as nice as it will be for most of the week. I’d been hoping to get out into the garden to clean it up a little bit and perhaps plant the bulbs that I purchased last fall and never got around to planting. Most of the bulbs survived but I’ve gotta plant them soon! I’d also hope to go out for a walk or two – maybe down to the beach that I showed you on Saturday.

Unfortunately I’ve continued to feel absolutely rotten all weekend. Not only has my stomach/abdomen continued to act up but on Saturday I woke up with an extremely sore throat, sore neck and sore knees. My shoulder joined the list on Sunday.

It’s my stomach that feel the worst thought. Sometimes I just wish I could reach into my abdomen and pull out the painful parts. Yeah I know that probably wouldn’t help, but it sure seems like a good idea when the pain is really bad.

The one good thing that happened over the weekend is that I managed to make a fair amount of money on Sunday. As you probably know I make most of my income off the internet … well all of it actually. Now while my ads continue to bring in some money each day, I usually don’t make much money from the other services that I use on the weekends. I did work for three different services that I work with on various sites that I own and made the most money in one day that I think I’ve ever made.

At least if I continue to feel ill this week, or end up feeling even worse, I know I made some money that I hadn’t been expecting to make over the weekend so if I need to take a day or two off I guess I can.

I just want to feel better though. The weather is starting to get so much nicer and I’d like to get outside. Even if I don’t manage to do much outside it would still be nice to maybe sit on my porch or wander through my garden for a short while.

I am still sick

March 25, 2007 by Tricia

Well, I guess I’m always sick, but I’m worse than normal this week.

Yesterday I woke up with a very sore throat. As the day progressed I noticed that my neck, shoulder and knees were all sore too.

My abdomen of course has also been giving me a lot of trouble this week with it’s appendicitis like pain. I’m just a mess it seems.

I haven’t been sleeping well, if at all, because of my abdominal pain, and now that these other symptoms such as the sore throat and achy joints have cropped up I’m starting to wonder if I’m fighting some kind of bug.

My pain meds aren’t working because my body is having trouble digesting the pills. TMI? So I might be more miserable than I should be. Well I guess I am.

I’m just sick of being sick.

The boardwalk

September, Woodbine Beach in Toronto

We went to the beach last year in September. It was late afternoon and although the day had been nice it was starting to get a little chilly. I suppose that’s why the beach was almost empty.

I think that I took this photo on the same day. This is part of Toronto’s famous boardwalk. This is what I would call the beginning of the boardwalk in the Ashbridges Bay area. As you can see the boardwalk was almost empty that day.

On nice days, the beach is crowded with people getting sun or playing volleyball. Throughout the whole year the boardwalk is a great place to walk. Residents lucky enough to live in that area of Toronto regularly walk their dogs, cats and just about any kind of pet that you can imagine on the boardwalk.

Right beside the boardwalk there’s a bicycle path.

We aren’t too far from the beach area. It’s about a 10 minute drive or a half hour bike ride. It’s not uncommon for Chris and I to get on our bikes anytime from April through to November and bike down to the beach area, or on some of the nice trails in the area.

We’re actually pretty lucky living in Toronto. The whole inner core of the city has ravines and parks where city residents can walk or bike. You can actually travel quite a distance throughout the city on the paths that interconnect throughout the city.

Biking on the trails, or walking on the boardwalk is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy a nice day.

Do you make time to enjoy some of the things that you can do in your city or town?

Feeling horrible

March 23, 2007 by Tricia

I was in so much pain last night that I never did end up going to bed. I ended up hanging out on a forum answering posts and just trying to take my mind off the pain as I stared at my computer screen last night.

I didn’t end up going to bed until about ten a.m. or so this morning, and then the pain woke me again at 3 p.m..

I have fevers that spike up to 104 F or so very quickly and then almost as quickly go back down to normal again. This must have happened at least 50 times in the last 24 hours. Plus I’ve got pain in my lower right side that’s very similar to what appendicitis pain feels like, however this is how my pain and Crohn’s symptoms present so it’s likely not appendicitis.

I can’t say that I’ve been feel great for most of this year, but this is the worst I’ve felt in a long while.

I think I’ll try to get a bit of work done on the computer and then go back to lie down for a while.
