Re: Question on energy supplements

Now you're talking, Jim! English Breakfast tea is my fav! No, it

doesn't have as much caffeine. It is my drink of choice at work. Mmmmmm.

I don't like to need the caffeine, and I really only drink a 16oz in

the morning. Sometimes I don't finish it....but as the day drags on I

need more.

I was so dog tired yesterday that I had to fight not to nod off during

a Chem test and later in lecture. You know, the quiet, the sitting

still... I am sure I blew the test. My notes from class aren't great

either. When I got home I took a nap (with two dogs and a cat,so I

found when I woke up...).

Bye!

I really need to start exercising every morning. I should probably add that

I only have one or two cups in the morning and that's the extent of my

caffiene intake.

The energy shots and supplement the sell in the stores are mostly B 12

shots and carbs. My daughter was spending 4-5 dollars or so a day on them, I

made her read the ingredients and it was B vitamins! It can be bought much

cheaper to take the vitamins. We all know what carbs do for us. read

ingredients, because most of them are herbs and vitamins. Energy drinks are

sugar and

will lift for a lilttle while then a crash usually.

Question on energy supplements

I am finding myself between a rock and a hard place so I would like to

get some input from others. What supplements do you know of that boost

energy that work well, maybe alone or combined with something else?

A nap with the dogs are my favorite! That is the one thing I really

miss about school...having the ability to take a nap during the day!

Something tells me that when I go back to get my Phd, it wont be that

easy. What kind of dogs do you have? I have an older yellow lab and a

young black lab mix.

I have two dogs, a 13 year old flat coated retriever and an 18 month

old border collie/lab mix. My old boy doesn't get on the bed. Never

has. Who I woke up with was my Maya and my mother's 7 year old

Bichon/Poodle mix. Jacques had taken over Tom's pillow and Maya the

whole bottom half of the bed. I think Jasper was on the floor at the

foot of the bed... he usually is.

Problem: lack of energy.

Solution: more protein... in the form of shakes or natural food, not

processed.

How funny! I have an eight year old yellow lab and a 19 month old black

lab/boarder collie/ and maybe german shepard mix! My mom had a bichon.

Very cute but much faster than my dogs!

Thanks Jim....I don't drink alot of caffiene, just my one cup in the morning, it

is however about 2 cups in one but still just one, I used to love having a cup

of tea in the evening, especially in the Winter when it's cold and my poor old

arthritic bones don't want to function, I'd have a nice cup of chamomile tea and

it would help relax me before bed. Anyway, thanks :-)

Jim wrote: I can't really answer that,

Melody. A little caffeine is OK. Just make sure you don't drink a lot of it.

In my case, my weakness is tea (all that English/ish DNA, you know). I have

several cups per day. But, I make sure that I do not let the tea steep at all.

The longer it steeps the more caffeine it has. So, I drink weak tea.

Coffee has so much more caffeine in it because of the brewing process.
