Scales Suck! - Day 1,2 and 3 of Garcinia Cambogia Experiment

By -


  So I did some research and apparently scales commonly suck at life and get things wrong all the time!

(http://www.liftingrevolution.com/10-reasons-the-scale-isnt-budging-yet )( for a great article on this ) 

 I tried to see if I'm losing weight from the supplement, but my scale says I've gained two pounds! Then  I realized if I move it to a spot on the floor a few feet over it says I've lost two pounds!

Apparently this is common with digital scales. You have to measure yourself on the scale using the same exact position and never move the scale to a new location. It's best to wear the same exact clothes every time or be naked. And you should measure your weight several times until the scale gives you the lowest weight or the same reading several times in a row. You may have to adjust the way you stand and practice standing the same exact way every time. So I may never know my actual exact weight, but if I stand right I'll have a measurement to go off of to see whether I've lost of gained weight.

So I basically have to start this experiment over after 3 days of using the supplement, because I don't know what my real weight was.

I re-measured myself sans clothes 3 times until I got the same reading every time and used a vantage point on the scale to keep my measurement consistent. So the new weight I am going with is 115.5. 

And with that comes new BMI .

Apparently I am bad at reading charts. This one is confusing because there's this general range at the top (18.5-24.9) for normal, but then there is also normal by age and gender. In general I'm NORMAL, but based on my age and gender my BMI is in the LOW category.


And the LOW range for fat percentage: 19.5%

I don't really need this supplement for the weight loss, but if it works for me maybe it will work for my friends and family and readers of this blog who want to get healthy as well. I'm fine being their guinea pig if it helps them achieve their goals.

I'm really hoping to experience the other benefits from GC. The mood boosting, better sleep, immune boost and focus.  I haven't noticed much yet, but it's been only a few days.
I'm hoping for mental clarity, but my mind has actually felt less clear and less Focussed. 

Also better sleep is supposed to happen, but I've been more tired than usual and sleeping past my alarm- not good! 

On the plus side I felt really happy and high on life yesterday. Could have been because great things are happening in my life, or it could have been the GC. Who knows? Too soon to tell.

BTV Media Player Scam?

The following article does not condone piracy, but just for fun. The following article actually isn't about piracy, but it does come into play. Read on to see why we are really here.  A friend of mine shared an article with me recently that I was drawn to because it made some shocking claims about Legacy Direct, a company I invested in. The company sells media players which are basically devices for your TV similar to Roku or Apple TV which turn your TV into a smart TV and allow you to access multiple apps and tv/movie streaming. Some streaming is paid for like Netflix and Hulu, while other streaming is free by connecting users to online content from various hosting sites. Basically it allows you to get all your shows and movies on one source without having to download things (legally or illegally) on a computer then transfer to your tv or separately log in to your many tv streaming sites. Everything is streamlined to one place.  There is a danger with

How to Eat Healthy For Noobs: Tips If You Never Tried a Healthy DietBefore and Don't Know Where to Start

After a good friend of mine suggested this topic to me, I thought for a while where to begin, then I procrastinated and finally late one night it hit me. If you have never really tried eating healthy before how should you begin? Replacements! What if you aren't a health-conscious eater, but you want to be? Maybe you never have been successful with dieting or you haven't had the desire to and now you think it's time to get healthy. You may want to eventually go all out, but you're new to this and you need to start small.  The easiest way to start is with the simple act of replacing. This means slowly switching out your current food and life choices for slightly more healthy versions one-by-one until you reach your health goals. It may seem simple, but too many people try to start being healthy by going straight for the latest diet or trying to change everything at once. We are bombarded by all the latest health claims and diet fads. Many of us get overwhelmed and guil

The Matrix, Simulacra and Comedy?

I won't be modest, I think I'm freakin hillarious. On those magic moments when others agree with me, it does occur every so often, life is good. I love making people laugh. But sadly many of my jokes go unnoticed, or are misunderstood. Take this one in my Critical Theory class today. The class is a dull fest. Honestly intellectual discussions on the theories of critical theorists, theorizing how we best should theorize literature and literature theories. What? Yep that's what we discuss everyday. I did find one good use for the study of these theories though. They inspire great ideas for movies, and thats where my joke came from. For instance "The Matrix", pretty much the most awesome action sci-fi flick of our time, was based of Jean Baudrillard's writing on "Simulacra". Who knew these writers actually got their crazy ideas from their boring college classes? Mrs. Park if your reading this, I am sorry, it's not you, really it's not. I&#
