Before After

Maca root maca root maca root!!

Okay, for the last couple of weeks I have been taking daily supplements of maca root. I feel lots better and am sleeping better at night. I started out drinking the powdered whole root as a tea or in a smoothie, but the taste is a bit overwhelming, so I ordered a bottle of 4:1 maca root extract. We took our first capsules today and I felt great all day. Only now feeling tired, and it's 7.15 and I've done a workout during which I lifted heavier weights than I've ever used for some exercises. (Hope I'm not too sore tomorrow!)

Here's a link to a little article about what maca root is:

Lepidium

I first learned about maca root in Brendan Brazier's book Thrive.

We're off to London Friday to Sunday for a friend's wedding and to see the Star Wars Exhibit in County Hall just off Westminster Bridge. (Same building where we took Ethan to play video games!) I'll post photos. I plan for us to go to a shop in North London called Yogamatters. Hope to pick up some interested gewgaws there.

Full report and photos to follow!

How's the maca treating your libido?  Not meaning to pry, of course!  I just clicked the link you have up there and read all about it.  Looks like something I might have to jot down and remember to buy.

Hello

Just wanted to stop by your blog and see how things are going with you.

Thanks for the link on the Maca.  I take a lot of herbs and natural supplements as I do believe that our bodies function so much better without all the synthetic medications that our doctors prescribe.

I read your post from the day before and you are right!!  You are OVERTHINKING.  In no way do I want this to sound harsh but from what I read it seems like you are your own worst enemy.  PLEASE, don't take that as an offense as it is not meant to be. 

You are doing great on your weight loss.  I would love to be where you are right now.    Blessings to you, Chargail

Enjoy your weekend in London!
