Don't Forget Your Vitamins

I have never really been one who takes medicines often or even remembers to take them at all.  One reason is because I just don't like having that stuff running through my system.  Obviously I have never done drugs, smoked and I very rarely drink.  To each their own, but I have never really been able to get on board with the thought of any of those.  The other reason is that, in all of the things I have running through my head at any given time, remembering to take a pill or two is just not high on my to do list.  I'm bad enough that I had to put a sticky note on the microwave to remind me to take birth control when I was on that.
Unfortunately for me, this mindset became a real challenge when I started on the "Me Initiative".  Most doctors and weight loss professionals tell you that you should start taking at least a multi-vitamin everyday when you are actively losing weight.  Their is some speculation that a multi-vitamin is overkill when you have a healthy diet and you should just take the individual vitamins you need.  For someone like me, breaking it all down is a pain that I just can't suffer.  If you really want to get that into it ask your physician for guidance.  Myself, I take a Super Foods Multi-Vitamin, a Probiotic, and a B complex for energy once every day and a Fiber with Metabolism Support twice a day.  No matter how you do it, you really need to take some kind of vitamins.  Especially in the beginning of your journey.  You are not eating healthy to start and then you are severely cutting your calories and eventually you are ramping up your activity level.  This means your body needs more of those necessary vitamins.
I have actually gotten really good at taking my vitamins over the last year.  (A big shocker to me considering my past mind set.)  I do have to put the vitamins where I am sure to see them every day, but at least I remember to take them.  Now I only miss if I happen to run out before I make it to the store.  Of course it is much nicer to take vitamins that are gummies that those horse pills or nasty tasting chewable pills that used to be the only option.
