Today I would like to tell you a little story...Some of you may
laugh about what I may tell you, but, for me it was real, and it was no bueno! Let me start by saying,
I am a water with lemon kinda girl and I love my tea.
A few weeks ago, it was a crazy night at work. It was busy and
acute and my adrenaline was at an all time high. As the night went on,
my adrenaline wore off I became exhausted! I was nervous on how I was going to get
home. I work about an hour away from my job and commute in the middle of
the night. So, I decided I would have a small cup of coffee. Within a
few minutes I was wired, and not in a good way. I was jittery, anxious, a
bit paranoid, nauseated, having heart palpitations, sweating, and
restless. It was an interesting ride home, I was just so jumpy and
nervous. I got home and did not go to sleep for hours. I was not even
ready to go to sleep, but my hubby nudged me to bed, so I tossed and
turned for a bit, but I did not feel well at all. I woke a few short
hours later and my symptoms were not improved. I, in fact, felt a bit
worse. I was off the entire day into the next. I really could not
believe how much one small cup of coffee impacted me. When
these feelings went away, I slept, slept, and slept, and then felt all
sorts of drowsy.
Clearly, caffeine is not something I could depend on. I have never
been an advocate for energy drinks as they are filled with sugar,
processed ingredients and caffeine. But, I need help with my energy. I
had been hearing about these "energy bits", so i decided to do some further
research. After doing so and emailing the wonderful people at this
wonderful company, I asked to try a sample and I was asked in return to
write a review.
I tried these bits in three different ways (I did not know, but I had
another sample from my "runners box" that arrived on the same day). My first try at the energy bits was after 4 hours of sleep and a full day ahead. I took them right before I left my house for the day and I just felt incredible. I did not feel drowsy and the "fog" I usually feel was gone! Usually on these days I may take a power nap, but I did not need to! My mom who was with me even commented, how good I looked considering how late I got home and how early I woke up! The next time I tried them was during a shift at work! I knew it was going to be busy and another late night, so I took them mid-shift. Wow! I felt awake and energetic, and I did not have to worry about my ride home! The third time I tried them was for a workout. I try to work out in the mornings, and this sometimes proves to be difficult depending on my night. I was able to go for my run AND do strength training afterwards! I usually break up those workouts over two days, I was so happy to get both workouts into one day! I would like to also mention that I did not feel sick taking these "bits", there is no gross aftertaste, and the energy does not shock you when you feel it. It just comes naturally! When speaking to the company, I described these as "little miracles"! Not only did they work, I did not feel sick after! A big deal for someone with a sensitive stomach!
So what are these "energybits" ?!
