FRS Energy Experience / Experiment
Well, I did it. I saw the FRS ad about getting more energy and a two week free trial and took the plunge. Recently I’ve been crashing hard in the afternoon – usually about 2:30 pm. I’ll get it going again a bit later but by the time I drive home I’m really cooked – [...]
Order & Pricing
I ordered the initial “2 week free trial.” All I paid for was shipping. What I’m most concerned about going forward is how much this will cost me in the long run. Based on the FRS site it appears the typical person will use a bottle/week of the concentrate (which runs $19.99). Figuring you get [...]
Quercetin
A quick note. If you’re like me you’d never heard of quercetin, the main ingredient in FRS that they promote. It’s in the trial link above. I looked it up and it’s a well documented antioxidant. Apparently it’s the stuff that makes blueberries and apple skins so healthy. There was really good info on Wikipedia.com [...]
The FRS Box & taste testing
The FRS free trial box came just as promised and I was only charged shipping. My trial came with blueberry/pomegranite chews, a small sample of the orange concentrate, a not-from-concentrate mango drink, and a powered drink mix (daily servings). I’ve heard the trial may change periodically. So how does FRS taste? Chews: Great (update: I’ve [...]
The first day with FRS
I should set the stage a little bit here. I don’t drink coffee but have been, well, since a teenager, a SSSLLLOOOWWW riser. It drove my parents (and now my wife) nuts. Worse, with 2 kids who get up around 6am on some days I feel virtually incoherent. I started drinking chai tea in the [...]
The next morning
At 6:15 the alarm went off and I got out of bed to start my morning routine. I walked by the kids rooms (who were just waking), let the dogs out, fed them and went back upstairs. It dawned on me. I just got up and got out of bed! No snooze! No rolling over! [...]
1 month in and still going strong
It’s been just over a month and I’m honest to God thrilled at how well FRS works. Mornings continue to be great, I’ve got excellent clarity during the day, and I’m staying up until close to midnight every night. There has only been one day in the last month where I had an afternoon ‘crash’ [...]
They’ve Got Some Gall – Part 1
“My stomach feels really bad,” my wife said, coming back from On The Border, a Mexican chain restaraunt. “Like you’re going to be sick,” I asked? “No just distended and gassy,” she replied. ‘Damn,’ I thought to myself, ‘another Mexican restaurant down the tubes. And this one gave the kids fajita dough to play with!’ [...]
Bye Bye Blue Booties
About a month after Andrew started at the Goddard daycare they began requiring parents to wear blue booties over their shoes before they entered the infant room – the same kind of booties doctors and nurses wear in the hospital. Now, there had always been a ‘please wear your blue booties’ sign but in that first month I never saw another [...]
Coming of Age With Virgins
Perhaps catching myself humming ‘My Hair Had a Party Last Night’ by Trout Fishing in America (without my 3-year-old in the car) sparked the need. Maybe the constant exposure to great new alternative music on satellite radio tuned me up. Or, quite possibly, the fact that my last concert involved Lisa Loeb in a coffee [...]
