Day 468- Bragg's Organic Unfiltered Apple Cider vinegar- That is my big secret on continuing to lose weight along with a hyped up workout/training program. (Some of you may know about this stuff already!) This stuff WORKS for so many things it is amazing.

I originally started drinking about 2 tbsp. in a glass of water after a run or workout to help with the recovery process. I did this after hearing from an Ultra Runner saying it helped him so much. After getting over the taste the first few times it was amazing how well this stuff works for sore muscles. Shortly after doing this I heard on another podcast about how if you take it 2-3 times a day it helps with weight loss, so I started to read up on this stuff. Come to find out it helps/cures a lot of things and it is a NATURAL CLEAN REAL FOOD! If I can remember to take it 2-3 times a day, I do notice my cravings go down, I have more energy, my mood is better and my movements are more regular.

Things I did not expect: I read it helps to remove skin warts (If you get them, you always will and most likely so does you mom, read up on it.) so I put a little on a band aid and sleep with it on overnight, did this 2-3 days in a row and by the 3rd day the wart turned BLACK! About a week later, it pealed off and no signs of it returning.

Another, as I get older I have had skin blemishes appear, I just always thought they were age/sun spots and part of life? Well after taking this stuff for about a month, my skin started to clear up in more ways than one. The blemishes have lightened or disappeared. I use to get acne on my upper legs, backs of my forearms and back that I assumed was from sweating (?) and that has cleared up. One last thing about my skin, ever sense I can remember I use to get these little bumps all over my thighs and back of my arms, like goose bumps I guess, they are gone!

There are many more claims about this stuff if you read up on it. Reduces colds, hangovers, carp intake, drinking, coffee and many more.

I am not saying this stuff is a miracle cure, but it sure seems to help in many ways, I just have to remember to drink it! MAKE SURE YOU GET: ORGNAIC UNFILTERED UNPASTEURIZED APPLE CIDER VINEGARE WITH THE MOTHER! There are other organic apple cider vinegars out there, bust must of them are filtered (Hint: the one Trader Joes sells is pasteurized, not good).

Update on my training next....

Busy Saturday this weekend: Running a local 5K, coaching a soccer game, then off to my 20th Class Reunion (an allllll day event) then Reunion Dinner/Party that night.
