So far, so good

So far, so good. Three days in and there have been no bad side-effects. Back in 1998 I tried Metabolife 360, one of the formulas then available that used ephedra. It increased ones metabolism by hyping you up to the moon. I am a person that does not get hyped up easily. Caffine usually does not effect me at all; I down several cups of coffee in the morning without a problem. Ephedra, however, was wild. It made me nervous, warm, touchy and gave me bad breath. :-)
This stuff, though, does not seem to be doing any of that. With a couple days under my belt, I am noticing that I am not as hungry as usual. I have not yet cut back on my meals any, but I have been eating the normal amount out of force of habit rather than hunger. I think it is time to rectify that, so today I am taking the approach of eating just enough to get rid of the hunger pangs.
Also, I added one new item to my exercise ritual. I am now doing thirty crunches while holding a 15 pound weight and lying on a 75cm exercise ball.
