Two days in, down 6.7#!

The first week on VLCD is always the best week, in my opinion. I wish we could just do a week or 10 days of VLCD (just until the releases slow to those partial pounds) and then go off into P3! :) For now, though, I get to celebrate BIG numbers.

Day 1: -3.4#
Day 2: -3.3#

Tough to beat numbers like those. I had a real headache on Day 1 this time around. That was pretty unusual for me. I FreXed the headache away, mostly, though did "cheat" and have 4 cranberry powder pills. Cranberry powder is great for reducing inflammation & I use it during my cycle to get rid of bloating, headaches, and cramps. Works brilliantly!

Day 2 & today, I'm experiencing a slightly upset tummy (not hungry, but a little nauseated). That's new for me, too. So, I decided I'd just break down and have a cup of baking soda water (1t baking soda in 1/4c water). It balances the pH in the stomach, so it works *every* time.

I'm off to the symphony today!

Happy Less of Us!

Muscle Testing

So, I said that I was going to give you all tools that I used while doing HCG. And I said that I was going to stop at Thanksgiving.

However.

I have one more for you, that I use nearly every day and a new reader, Julanne from Oregon, reminded me that I hadn't yet shared the tool! Yikes! It's an important one, too. Muscle testing, or kinesiology is the tool and this one allows your body to tell you yes or no to foods, medicines, activities, and other things you want to do to it. It also can tell you how many of something you should be taking and it's easy peasy.

Here's a video showing the yes/no concept and how to do it: Kinesiology

For finding out how many of something you should be taking, simply ask your body (it'll seem strange at first, but just roll with it - it really does work), "How much should I take," while holding the thing in question over your tummy with your left hand.

So, for example, hold your hcg drops in your left hand (I actually end up sort of pressing it to my tummy with my wrist so I can use my hands) over your stomach. Now, either out loud or silently, ask, "How many drops per day should I be taking for my optimal health?" Then, with your fingers the way it shows in the video, start counting, 10 and test the circle. 20, test the circle. 30, test the circle. 40, test the circle. If the circle breaks here, then go back to 31 and repeat until it breaks:

31, test.

32, test.

33, test.

34, test.

35, test.

36, test.

37, test - mine broke here. So, I need to take 12 drops 3 times per day for "optimal health."

You can also use this concept to test things like FreX and the RIFE recordings I did for both sweet breath and to get you moving again...

I wonder if "Christy in Seattle" will muscle test herself and let us know what her results are for the "get you moving" mp3? (No pressure, Christy! You certainly don't have to!!)

Anyway, that's how I test:

• Safety for my body with the thing I want to do it.
• I don't have an allergy to the food/homeopathic/etc.
• How much of something I need to take for optimal health.
• To find out if a problem is actually a thing of the body, mind, or spirit. (Weight, for instance, showed up in all three areas for me.)

Please be sure to let me know if you didn't understand this - I can try to make a video so you can see what I'm doing as I do it, but I don't have any HCG left right now, so I'd have to use something else like vitamin C or D3.

FreX - Sound Therapy

Do you remember the gift I made for everyone in P2 because nearly everyone has trouble eliminating? I made that using a few different tools, but you don't have to bother with all that. You could just use FreX. It's a tool I found online that generates the right frequencies in the right order for whatever you put in the search tool.

I don't know really how to explain it, other than that it works on the same principle as the opera singer who hits the high note and is able to burst the champagne glass across the room. The frequencies vibrate the cells of the "bad stuff" until their cell walls burst and then your body's natural clean up process can happen. I use it for *everything.* Cancer, elimination, flu, sore throat, pneumonia, bronchitis, fatigue, acne, arthritis, fibromyalgia, cold sores, sprained ankles... You name it. I've probably tried it on someone - and almost every time with great success.

I made a FreX tutorial on another site of mine, furheads.com. If you have dogs or cats, you might want to check that site out, too. I'm not nearly so busy on it any more, but the info there is still valid!

Really, really, I hope you check it out. It's the first thing my niece and nephew want me to do when they're not feeling well. "Aunt Jay, will you FreX me for ....?" I even FreX us all overnight now for things like parasites and dental support.

You gotta try it. It's the best thing EVER. Ok. Right next to HCG. :)

A Gift for everyone in Phases 2 and 3

Can I be blunt? Of course I can. lol. It's my blog. The UNcool part of the HCG diet is that you can't have mints - of any sort - during P2 and P3. No oils in P2. No artificial sweeteners in P2 or P3. So, if you need clean, fresh breath... Well. You're just outta luck.

Remember the "get you moving again" gift I made for you? A few people tried it out and were pleasantly surprised with the results.

However, there's a great little set of sound frequencies that work to fight bad breath. I set them all up, one after the other, to give as a gift to you all today! This is the Sweet Breath recordings for everyone. It'll work, of course, in any Phase - or no Phase. :) Just play the mp3, which lasts about 18 minutes, and you should smell clean breath within the following 20 minutes. (Gotta give your body some time to get rid of the stuff causing the bad breath...)

Tuh Dah! Sweet Breath!

Meditation - free music

To go along with that process I shared yesterday, the Silva Method, I also have a source of free music for you to meditate with. It helps to push extra noises out and gives your mind something to concentrate on while you meditate.

Free Meditative Music

Meditation

This one, of all the tools I'm sharing, is the most difficult one for me. To be still and allow thoughts to just pass you by without judging them is tough! I'm an opinionated person, so it's just difficult to let it go and flow. :)

However, learning to do it (and continuing to learn) helped bring some of the emotional ties I have to both my fat and my food to the fore so I could examine them without judging them. I had to just let the emotions exist and look at the ties, rather than judge them or feel like I needed to defend their existance. I just needed to allow them to be and acknowledge that they were there.

I used the free Silva Method to learn how to meditate.

You'll like it once you learn to do it. It's another one of those things, though, that's easy to over-think and over-do. It's easy, but you have to get out of your way and ALLOW it. :)

Reiki

Another thing I use, similar to Quantum Touch, is Reiki. It's more gentle and nurturing. I found a site who offers remote healing sessions at no cost. You do have to give them your name and email address, but I didn't get a whole bunch of spam from them, so I feel confident in sharing this resource with you.

Quantum Touch

If something happens to you, like a car accident or similar, normally you'd go straight to the chiropractor and massage therapist. During Phase II, though, you can't do that and keep releasing weight. Quantum Touch might be your answer here. Hands on healing has been around for, I think, about as long as humans have. But you want to know something? It's not just for the elite or those who are "born with it." You can do it, too.

Here's their site: http://www.quantumtouch.com/

And here's a few videos I found to get you going. Don't over think it - it's really quite easy...

Hypnosis - Plans

I'm sure you've all heard the saying that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail? Or, how about, if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got? If you're already following the HCG protocol, kudos! If you're one of those people who, like I was, are stuck in the "research" part of convincing yourself that this works, I can confidently say that it does!

What's keeping you from doing it? Maybe you just need a little help to find those answers out.

Get a plan, take action, what is stopping you?

Wendi explains: "Self sabotage, finding the part of you that wants to fail, understanding it, and making a plan."

Hypnosis - Confidence, Charisma

I used to use my weight as a shield. From what? I used it to keep people away from me so I wouldn't get hurt. It's silly, when I see it written down, because I know that people still saw & continue to see through the weight to my true self.

Today, a tool to help you find your confidence, regardless of your outside appearance. :)

Being your best, charismatic, confident self

Wendi shares, "You are amazing, really! Want to find out why? Get ready, close your eyes, relax and enjoy!"

Hypnosis - think it'll help?

There's gobs of weight release stuff out in the world and all of it has you focus on the one thing that you want gone. It's my personal belief that what you focus on is what you get most of.

With that in mind, I want to share a couple of tools that I use to focus on what I want rather than what I don't want. You know what I want, right? I think it's the same thing you want right now. To be happy, healthy, and excited about my life! HCG is a critical piece of that puzzle: Health.

But health isn't only about the body. It's about the mind and spirit, too. The mind and the spirit are actually what creates the form you have (body), so it's only appropriate that we go looking there first for the root issues to resolve.

I use meditation, yoga, self-hypnosis, quantum touch, qi gong, reiki, and EFT to get in touch with the mind and the spirit. The happier I am there, the happier my whole life seems to be. Of all those, hypnosis is the easiest to give someone else because Wendi (wendi.com) already has a few videos up covering a few of the topics I want to touch on.

So, I plan to share a tool with you each day clear until Turkey Day... We'll start with:

Release Negative Anchors

Wendi asks, "Feeling bad? Maybe it is because you have triggers that make you feel bad and have anchored your emotions into them. Change it!"

A Gift for everyone in Phase Two

I've been working all afternoon to get this gift ready for you. I'm so excited that you try it out!

You know how one of the main complaints of being on Phase 2 is the ..um.. lack of elimination? To put it indelicately, your body just doesn't seem to be able to pooh like it used to! Well, I used RIFE while I was in Phase 2 and didn't really have any problem.

What's RIFE? Well, it's sound frequency therapy. It works on the same principle as the opera singer who can break the champange flute when she hits the high C note. The sound vibrates the glass until it becomes more like a liquid and finally bursts. Certain frequencies, in particular orders, will help your body get rid of illnesses, become energized, or even help your body eliminate waste.

So, my gift for all those who are in Phase 2 is the right combination of frequencies, in the right order, to help your body eliminate. When ever you're feeling "stuck" or like you "can't go," just run the mp3 file, wait about an hour (maybe two) and your body should be ready to move again!
