Again I return to my desk, sink into my chair,
let the sound of my colleague sneezing sink to the back of my mind and try to
focus on today’s work load.
Fortunately for me today is fuelled by
wonderful food and drink to keep my energy levels sufficient, assist
concentration on work and most of all taste's great.
My 2013 Aim is to have a neater desk than this, so far...failed!
Whilst listening half heartedly to the radio
during my journey my ears pricked up to the mildly amusing tones of the ‘Diet Rhyme’
and wondered how many of the other listeners had started a restrictive diet or detox.
I’ve tried and failed many crash diets, counted
calories, restricted carbs and nothing is as effective as eating a balanced
diet and exercise. I started a ‘Pretox’ in December knowing that I
would eat more than normal and keeping in mind I wanted to enjoy festive
goodies and not feel guilty.
During December I’ve kept active almost
everyday with my ‘5 Days Of 5km’ running, 8.2 miles on Boxing Day, regular
climbing, New Years Day Power Walk & Swim and Sunday afternoon strolls. I even managed a 3.1 mile power walk
on Christmas day and with the assistance of Alibi Pretox I’ve managed to recover a few slightly fuzzy head mornings and make the most of
my days off.
Alibi Pretox comes in two flavours: Sparking Citrus and Sparkling Pomegranate and my personal favourite was the pomegranate
but the citrus had me wide eyed and bushy tailed much faster (something about
that citrus hit). But what inspired me most to keep enjoying these drinks was
the fact they contain NOTHING artificial
and the mix of vitamins, minerals and natural herbal extracts make a this drink
a health boost also.
I am anaemic and whilst my symptoms are
generally under control I need to keep my energy and B12 levels at a good level
to prevent any dips and as Alibi Pretox includes this It’s winning
again.

If like many others you are staring a new year
with healthy aims, keep them realistic, remain balanced in your approach and
remember your body needs vitamins and minerals to perform to its very best so
rather than reaching for caffeine or high sugar drinks give Alibi a try.
Have you tired Alibi before? Do you often find
yourself picking up Red Bull, Lucozade or similar for a boost?

I've never tried Alibi but it sounds like something I need to get into! I'm not fuss about the calories, but I need a healthy alternative to boost my energy. I used to be really into red bull at Uni, especially during exam periods.
ReplyDeletePS reading the first paragraph of your post made me smile, it's as if you described how I started my day, barely made it out of bed at 9am :)
I was so into Red Bull also (again when I was studying/working tonnes) but it made my teeth chatter late at night which made me appear a little nuts!
DeleteBecause of that I've always resisted energy drinks but with Alibi no mad teeth chattering and I'm not fearful I'll turn yellow due to chemical overload.. :)
I too tried these drinks over Christmas. A girlfriend pointed them out in holland and barrett whilst we were looking for supplements to get us through the winter months! Compared to all the other drinks that holland and barrett stock, we were amazed by how many nutrients these tiny cans contain. I am quite a cynic so i went through the ingredients list and I have to say, i was really impressed - they taste great, hydrate you and contain bucket loads of the nutrients which are proven to look after your body. Bring on the WINTER -I have an Alibi! Jess
ReplyDeleteHooray! I agree, I love wondering around Holland and Barrett looking for healthy treats and dried fruit supplies and these are a added bonus to the shopping trip and well worth stocking up on..Plus I had a can before a early morning run and I instantly felt 'awake' without caffeine (even better) :)
