Take vitamins daily

I had a couple weeks of on-and-off vitamin-taking. I would remember every couple days or so. I think I have taken it for the last four days in a row. Time to get started again!

The hardest part of this is trying to always take it with food. Sometimes I remember long after I’ve eaten (like 3pm when dinner is 3 hours away). Then I think I’ll take it the next time I eat and then I forget.

Next in this goal, I need to remember to buy more vitamins before these run out, so I don’t have to skip any days. Once you skip once, it becomes even easier…

Took it again today with my breakfast granola bar.

Having them next to my computer at work really helps. Some days though, I see them at a time when I don’t have any food, or ate a long time ago. Then I have a problem because you’re supposed to take them with food, and so I decide to wait until the next meal—but then I forget. Most of the time I remember though.

Today was three days without vitamins. I was doing so good for a while. I keep one bottle at my desk, which is where I usually take it (with my breakfast). Lately I’ve been filling in at someone else’s desk so I don’t remember to take them. I tried carrying vitamins with me in the past but the bottle rattles when I walk and attracts a lot of attention.

I took the first step in this mission last weekend by going out to Target and buying a bottle of multi-vitamins. I opted not to get the One-a-Day for Women (my initial pick) because although they would be more specialized for me, they didn’t have as wide a range of vitamins as the regular one a day. I drink a lot of milk anyway and didn’t really see the need for them. I took my first one two days ago, then didn’t yesterday. But I am taking one now. Two outta three aint bad!
