Do you remember to take your vitamins every day?
Me either and for those that do I applaud you... after giving you the stink eye.
I have always been absolutely horrible at remembering to take my vitamins. Case in point. I have about 100(ish) tablets left out of a bottle of 250 Prenatal Vitamins. My last baby was born in June of 2008. Does that tell you anything? Oh, and that was the only bottle I bought while I was pregnant.
Yes, I still had the bottle in the cupboard. It is now in the trash. How pathetic is that?
This is going to be a hard step. Only because my memory... lacks. My daughter says half my brain is on sticky notes. Not quite true but I do have a lot of sticky notes, 3x5 cards and notebooks surrounding me.
I took them today. I will take them tomorrow. I will take them tomorrow. I will take.... sorry. If I say it enough I might actually remember.
No, here is an idea. I will put them on my nightstand and take one right before bed.
Wait here....
Done. Now I should remember. Note to self.. add that to the list you make for water.
So why should we take vitamins? For better health, obviously, but also to give your body what it needs. Now I have seen it argued that if you are eating "right" that you shouldn't need vitamins. That is sound logic. However for the most part us humans don't eat nearly as well as we should. I'd rather take the vitamins and my body not need them then not take them and it does.
Here is a link to the vitamins I chose. Based of reviews they seem to be good. It can't be worse than not taking them.
No words are needed about the over 40 thing. None. Stuff it. Fine. Laugh it up. If you are laughing you probably aren't over 40. Yet. You'll get there and then it won't be quite as funny will it? Humph.
Check back for the next step in my process to make healthier and better choices. One small step at a time!
