Le-Vel THRIVE Experience - Day 10

7:30 AM - I took my pill and had a 8 ounce glass of water. I had a hard time waking up the last few days. I have become more awake after taking the pills and drinking the water.

8 AM - I had some Chocolate Almond Milk with Vanilla Shake Powder. It tasted better than I thought it was going to taste to be honest. I thought the Vanilla powder would detract from the chocolate taste of the almond milk, but it did not. Erinn had a hard time drinking her shake this morning, and we are unsure why. 

12:30 - Grilled cheese was the lunch choice for the day, which some pretzel crisps on the side.

7:30 PM - Erinn and I were at an event at my office tonight that ran late and through our plans for the night off. We ended up ordering dinner.

So today, I accidentally forgot to put a patch on. I didn't really notice a difference, other than I was snacky in the afternoon. This could have been due to stress (as work has been a little rough this week), or because of the lack of the patch. I am not entirely sure. Erinn had a little trouble with her patch yesterday, and getting it to stick all the way on her skin. When she got in the shower, it came off almost immediately. 

I definitely felt a difference throughout the morning between yesterday and today, which I strongly think is due the fact that I didn't have a THRIVE shake yesterday. After a little over a week, my fear of skipping meals like I used to when my anorexia ruled my life has subsided a little. I have added the THRIVE Experience to my daily routine, without subtracting anything. If anything, I am becoming more consistent with my eating habits as opposed to steering away from food. This might sound crazy, but THRIVE might actually be helping me to control my eating disorder, whereas some previous programs I have tried have made me revert to it.

Erinn has been doing great on the THRIVE program so far. She has been more attentive in class, especially her early 8 AM and 9:30 AM classes that she is usually falling asleep in. I am interested to see if this program continues to help her throughout the semester, or if this is something that starts to fade like usual. 

We highly recommend that everyone tries this program, even for a short period of time. Head over to emilyaconlin.le-vel.com for more info and to place your first order! :)
