The "Thrive W" Experience
Day 1
Monday, September 26, 2016
I received my 3 day sample pack of Thrive.
I slept good last night, at least until I woke up at 3:30 and was wide awake.
I dragged myself out of bed at 3:48 and went to the bathroom, grabbed my usual
cup of coffee -- yes, I know you are not supposed to drink any "extra" caffeine
while taking this, but I am not giving up my first cup of coffee of the day. Besides,
there is, according the reports I've read, only 1 cup of coffee worth of caffeine in Thrive
and my body is used to more caffeine than that.

I took my first Thrive capsule at 4:00 am with 8 ounces of Unsweetened Almond Milk.
My only issue was that it felt like the capsule got stuck in my throat, so I drank my
coffee and then grabbed my 20 ounce bottle of water. Still have that "pill stuck"
feeling, but it has nothing to do with the capsule in general, I have had this happen
in the past with other pills.

As per instructions I mixed one packet of Thrive W with 8 ounces of liquid, in my case
Unsweetened Almond Milk. I then put half of it in the refrigerator and per MY
instructions drank the other half - I did however ADD some fiber to the drink, there is
not enough fiber in it for my dietary needs. Not the best tasting stuff I've had for
"Breakfast", but certainly not the worst either, I personally prefer a chocolate type
drink over a ….not quite vanilla flavor.

I then waited 15 minutes, although it doesn't say you have to, and placed the Thrive
patch behind my right shoulder. (The patch is not packed with anything other than Foreslean for weight loss)

So far so good.

My plans for the day include walking on my tread-climber for 30 minutes and going to
work cleaning 4 houses, I have help with that so all total for that is about 5 hours of
cleaning where I am actually moving.

My usual breakfast and lunch consist of 8 oz Unsweetened Almond Milk,
33 grams of Natures Bounty Optimal Solutions Chocolate Protein Shake, and
7 grams of Rite Aid multihealth fiber supplement all blended together. I also take a
multitude of supplements along with my blood pressure pill in the mornings.

Enzymatic Therapy - Pearls Ic Probiotics, 1 pearl capsule
Generic - Lisinopril, 10 mg
Finest Nutrition - Zinc - High Potency (Immune Health), 1 tablet
Spring Valley - Biotin, 1000 mcg
Spring Valley - Magnesium, 250 mg/1 capsule
Spring Valley - Natural Cold Pressed Flaxseed Oil 1000mg/450mg Omega-3, 1 Softgel
Viactiv - Calcium Plus D Soft Chews, Caramel, 1 Chew
One A Day - Vitacraves Healthy Metabolism Support, 2 gummies

Of course the only thing I'll be taking while doing Thrive are the first 2 on the list

I got home from work and I was starving, bacon (left overs) and an egg sandwich.
Tired and ready for bed at 7:00 pm, more than likely because I was up so early. I managed
to stay awake until about 8:30, but gave in because I was starting to get a headache.

Day 2
Tuesday, September 27, 2016

Up and out of bed at 4:30, 30 minutes before the alarm went off. Slept well until about
12:30 and then up to use the bathroom, tossed and turned a bit after that, but I think it was
because it was a bit too warm.
At 5:00 am I took my Thrive Capsule and changed my Thrive patch, I put the new patch on
my left shoulder for today and drank my Thrive "shake" at 5:40.
It has an even worse vanilla flavor when allowed to sit over night, I am going to have to chug
tomorrow's full dose in order to get it down without gagging. (Note: flavor is a personal
choice, but if you don't like vanilla then you won't like this) I did not manage to get on the
tread-climber yesterday and that would have helped with the calorie count. I will manage it
today however as we have only 2 cleanings and I will be home by 1:30.
Plans are never set in stone! The week got messed around so I didn't get home until 4:30,
no tread-climber again today. Took a shower, made dinner, I am still waiting for that extra
burst of energy that I am supposed to be getting from Thrive, as I am still ready to fall
asleep around 8:00 pm. PS: over my calorie goal to day too....munching not under control.

Day 3
Wednesday, September 28, 2016

Tossed and turned after I got into bed until about midnight, funny how I can fall asleep at
the drop of a hat on my couch, but get upstairs and poof all that's gone. Finally fell asleep
around 11:00 and slept through til 5:00 am. Today is the last day of my Thrive experience
and also the first full dose of the Thrive capsules and "shake" mix, God I am dreading
drinking that stuff. Why am I still doing it if it tastes that bad? Because I decided to see it
through and give it a fair shake to see if I felt any different in the 3 days, but to be honest
even if I felt that much better I could never make myself choke down this stuff every day for
who knows how long. Like I said before, taste is a personal preference.
So far I have yet to feel the jittery feeling that I have read that some people get, so
apparently my 3 cups of coffee a day is not upsetting the balance of caffeine.
Today I took my Thrive capsules at 5:30 am and will shortly drink my Thrive "shake" at 6:00.
The Thrive patch is on my calf muscle on the side of my leg, Chiropractor appointment
later and I don't want him to accidentally dislodge the patch.

Day 4
Thursday, September 29, 2016

Okay, so my final analysis....Thrive has made very little difference in how I feel, my energy
level, and certainly not my appetite. All of this could actually be attributed to the fact that I
have already been on a vitamin regimen and have been eating healthy for quite some time.
I regularly drink 3-4 cups of coffee per day so the caffeine jolt that I have heard about did
not bother me in the least. My sleep pattern has not changed in the least either. I have also
read about this "crash" that happens when you stop the Thrive experience...I will give it a day
or two and see how that goes.

Saturday, October 1, 2016 -- I can report that I did not have any "crash" after I stopped
using Thrive.

Good thing this was a free 3 day trial, I personally wouldn't waste my money on it.

my apologies, when I posted I wasn't paying attention to the dates.
