Fish OIL BAD!!

So, I read all these good things about taking fish oil pills-
--that they increase your metabolism
--help you loose weight
--great for the brain

But what they don't tell you, and I just put two and two together are:
--Fishy burps
- I did not have this issue
--Stomach upsets
- YES! BAD UPSETS almost the entire time
--Increased risk of bleeding- uh oh
--Mercury poisoning --YIKES-SERIOUSLY?!!
Other potential side effects
• Belching, flatulence, nausea, diarrhea, and bloating may occur. Sometimes
these reactions develop as a result of poor quality in the supplement manufacturing--tryswitching brands if you suspect this is the cause.
I bought Market BasketBrand

• In other cases the body has problems processing oils in general due to
poor bile acid production or other intestinal problems; try reducing the dose
dramatically and slowly increasing it over time.

• Suppression of immune and inflammation responses, and consequently, to
decreased resistance to infections and increased susceptibility to
opportunistic bacteria

But, in the tons of studies done on the effects of Omega-3 in human biology,
none of these side effects have been found to be scientifically conclusive.

Perhaps the greatest risk of fish oil Omega-3 supplementation is heavy
metal poisoning by the body's accumulation of traces of heavy metals, which
may be found in less refined fish oil supplements. THAT’S SCARY!!

According to the experts, the solution to safe use of fish oil is to ensure
that the oil is pure.

Okay-so I better quit taking them. Hopefully this will resolve my terrible stomach upsets!!!

A day of enjoyment before going back to work

I decided I should do some fun things today, since it is my last day of not working full-time. I enjoyed a pedicure, which was very nicely done. I prefer going to a hair salon to get my nails done, but most of them were closed today. So, I ended up at a nail salon. I always worry about the cleanliness of those salons, but I went anyways. Afterwards, I went to Goodwill and found a few more things that I can wear to work. Since the boss seems to be concerned about her employees dressing 'too casual,' I decided I should invest in a few dressier looking outfits, because I totally was super relaxed at Tackle Marketing. I was wearing flip flops, t-shirts and capris a lot during the Summer. I found a couple of really adorable dresses. One is a bit snug, so I will have to spend some time trying to slim down for it to be comfortable. But I am very pleased with my purchases. Of course, I had to take Lucky for one more long drive since he really cannot walk that much anymore without l...

Day 15 - Time to Learn!

Image
But first, I did some SPRING CLEANING! I was drinking my morning tea in bed, looking at how unorganized my closets were in the bedroom. Staring at the piles of sheets thrown into the top of my closet shelf made me feel uneasy. So, since I had no set plans for this morning, I just started organizing. There are many pins out there stating you should "use your pillow cases to keep your sheets neat and orderly". Of course, I don't even want to bother with learning how 'easy' it is to fold fitted sheets. That might be the case if you are patient, which I am not. So, I stuffed my sheets in various pillow cases. Then, I decided I would utilize the shelves where I have millions of Steve's hats sitting that never get worn, and a few pairs of shoes. The shelves will be a lot more user friendly, and the sheets will be much easier to access. For now, I can place all my boots up top since I won't be wearing those again until winter. What Pinterest says your shee...

Day 18 - First Unemployment Paycheck!

Image
It was nice to see that I received my first unemployment check deposit yesterday. I was certain I probably missed the deadline to post my jobs search information after I went to the meeting last Friday, but luckily I made it! Yay! I went to the farm, which was pretty cool. Michelle was very busy, which was to be expected. It was fun to take see what goes into having a pasta sauce and pasta company. Too much work for me, personally! I don't think I would want all that responsibility. I also stopped by a cemetery on the way back home. It was pretty cool. The old cemeteries don't fascinate me as much as they used to, but I do enjoy walking around for a few minutes.  The rest of the day, I took a couple of walks and read my book. I also applied for about 4 other jobs.
