Vitamin and Supplement over-load!

I'm a preventative maintenance person when it comes to my health.  I am constantly reading and researching vitamins and supplements that I would benefit from but I tend to go a little over-board!  I have a small shelf in my pantry with all of them sitting there, so innocently with their little index fingers calling to me! (see pic, they reside beside some hurricane prep cans, the shelf is pretty deep, hard to see just how many bottles are there)

I have made a promise to myself to finish the majority of them...because I have paid for them, not because I feel like they have benefited me in any way.  Have you ever done that?  Bought a vitamin or supplement, take them for awhile and then they sit forever on a shelf and you eventually throw them out because you figure they finally got too old?  I have started putting them in the little 7 day planner and am taking them daily with the intent of completing them and throwing the EMPTY bottles away.  I'm whittling them down to a few that I know I will benefit from, like a good multi-vitamin for women over 50 from GNC, turmeric, krill oil, probiotic, and D3. I have quite a bit of excess to go through but I'm not worried that when I do finish them, my body will be lacking anything if I don't buy more because I really don't feel like they are doing anything for me.  I DO intend to ADD a CTFO product called Super 7 which is a fruit chew that has 7 super fruits in them for amazing immune boosting power.  I am adding this because I know I don't get enough fruit in my system and want a good daily boost for my immune system since  winter is approaching and I normally get taken down by the flu.

As a side note, today is day 16 of my miracle mornings and this is one of the goals I've made for myself as I work through creating the life that I want!

Make promises to YOURSELF and KEEP them!  They are the most important promises you can make because as we all know, if we don't take care of ourselves, we can't take care of the ones we love!
