Day 4
Feeling GREAT! This stuff is really giving me some great energy throughout the day. Although, I do feel a bit jumpy and jittery sometimes. It's giving me energy to workout like crazy, and do more sit-ups, more arm workouts, more time on the elliptical. And it's definitely curbing my appetite. Also, I've noticed that you should definitely either eat or have just a little something to eat when you take the pills, or something shortly after. It definitely avoids some tummy aches.
Day 5
More of the usual...you'll definitely be using the potty in the morning after taking those cleanse pills. Sometimes more than once. Yup, I know, it's kinda gross, but hey this IS a cleansing product. Today was slightly harder to keep up with my cardio routine, but I still got it done! I did way more ab workouts this time too, and my stomach feels so much tighter than ever!
Overall so far I can DEFINITELY tell something is changing with my body, in a very good way. I feel lighter, healthier, and slimmer. My abs feel tighter and my arms look smaller. Everything so far is going well, some slight tummy aches here and there, and a few times I had to run to the bathroom (ha!) but other than that, I definitely think it's working!

Quick Trim: Quick Fix or Quick Nothing?
Okay so as many of you know, I started the Quick Trim diet a few days ago. So, here I will lay it all out, all my adventures, mishaps and triumphs on the QT.
So I bought it at Wal-Mart (LOL) for $29. Not too bad considering at GNC it's a whopping $59! Half off the GNC price? Um yes please! Checking out the plan here are the main rules:
*Pop the PM Cleanse pills twice daily: Once in the morning when you wake up, and once before bed.
*Pop the AM Burn pills twice daily as well: Before workout sessions or between your meals.
(That's 8 pills a day, by the way.)
*Workout plan: twice a day, 30 or 40 minute intervals each. Or one hour cardio. But here's the thing; it says to either do some walking, jogging, or biking...my guess is if you get a really hard 30-40 minute workout in you should be okay. And it doesn't state to do any strength training (like sit-ups, arm circles, etc.) but mentions you can if you want to.
*The diet: UGH. Low sodium, low/high carb days change every other day (i.e. good carbs, NOT bread and bad stuff). But overall, the calorie intake is around 1000 a day. Sodium intake is forbid for the second week so the body can totally flush it out. Makes sense.
Here's my dielemma:
1) NO way of cooking my own food. I live at my sorority house and we can't use the stove or oven. Awesome.
2) There are NO frozen meals that have a small amount of sodium in them. Awesome.
3) I have a pretty hectic schedule which prevents me from having the 4 meals a day.
So here's what I'm doing. I'm going to also follow the Special K challenge these two weeks. It will keep my calorie count down and yet still give me a good amount of nutrients and what not. For my third meal I'm just going to have to wing it and find a good alternative meal.
Day 1
Feeling good. The pills are a bit much to have to take each day but so far so good! They give me tons of energy and actually make me want to drink tons of water.
Day 2
Well. If Quick Trim can be summed up in as few words as possible, I'd choose MAKES YOU SHIT LIEK CRAZY! Yup. This stuff makes you poop poop poop like crazy. I'd definitely not recommend this to any of you who do not have steady access to a potty. And my stomach hurt basically all day too. Even after I ate food. I tried working out, but I could only muster up 20 minutes on the elliptical since I felt like I was going to throw up. Guess it's just my body's way of getting used to the pills?
Day 3
More poop, ha. Feeling better but definitely could not take a nap since I was so jittery all day. Stomach is feeling better than yesterday, but I feel bloated. Like my stomach needs to bloat out and then after another week it will shrink? Let's hope so.
I'll keep you all posted!
