#33 - 185.5 lb (-5.5) Total -14 lb Body Fat 41%
OK, well I figured out the body fat discrepancy. Last day at the cottage my sister-in-law tried out my fancy scales and changed my settings to "male"-lol
Interesting that gender would make that much of a difference in body fat.
I'll have to ask her what the scales said about her :)
Gotta get to the store today and get my supply of grapefruit, berries, greens, etc. Ended up having an apple for bk - which is ok.
Cheers to Your Health!

#32 - "Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth." Benjamin Disraeli
#32 - 191 (+4.5) Total -8.5 lb
Gave back the 5.5 lb that I'd lost last week these past 5 days at the cottage. Think I'd better stick to shorter trips, less challenging.
And as much as it's disappointing, to go backwards, I'm actually quite pleased that I managed to stick to the program as much as I did.
Another note to self: Seasonality appears to be an issue when arranging to do the protocol. Therefore schedule it around vacation etc. if you can and you'll achieve better results.
A friend of mine said a few weeks ago that she was interested in doing the program but not until she got back home in August from the cottage - good plan!
Day #30 was a measurement day (you take measurements when you start and every 10 days), results were decrease of 0" in a couple of spots and from 1/4" to 2" in the rest-pretty good.
A strange result this a.m. was 34.5% Body Fat, down 5% in one day. I'm wondering if my scales need a new 9 volt. I'll wait and see what happens tomorrow a.m.

#26 - "Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself."
Harvey Fierstein
#26 - 185.5 (-1.5) Total -14 lb
Feelin' pretty tired today. Was a little yesterday but more so today.
Although I haven't done anything physically strenuous in the last couple days, I've been spending long hours on building my business. It's all good though :)
With HCG they tell you not to do overly strenuous activities and I've noticed that when I cut all the grass, a few days ago, in one go (45 min) during 30C heat, that it knocked the energy out of me!
Of all the different protocols/diets/weight loss programs that I've done, never had one say to only do moderate exercise - like walking!
I used to detest exercise, in any form...that is until I mentioned in a previous blog working with my NLP Coach and she discovered I didn't have a Strategy for Health and exercise and put one in. What a difference...I soooo enjoy walking now and when I can't I feel disappointed-like I'm missing my treat for the day! Pretty cool, don't you think?

#24 + #25 - "The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles,
but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly." - Buddha
#24 - 189 same (bit of a plateau I guess)
#25 - 187 (-2)
OK, so the long story short here is that if you choose to divert from the program, even for just an evening, it can take you up to 4 days to get back to where you were!
Think about it, Jun 25 was 187.5, today finally back down 187. Total so far in 25 days is -12.5 lb - which is great (avg .5 lb per day) in such a short period of time but...
Is it really worth it to cheat? Was it really worth it to stray. In my books, nope.
This program is only for 45 days and then 3-6 weeks of maintenance (to reset your weight point).
There's also a shorter program that runs for 26 days and then maintenance.
If after your program you want to reduce more, you must remain in the maintenance phase for 6 weeks, then start again with Phase I. This prevents the body from building immunity to HCG.
So Buddha; I've learnt from the past and have let that go, have my goal for the future and am aware of the pitfalls and am choosing to live in the present with passion.

#23 - "Imagine what you would be If you were all that you really are." Philip Sedgewick - Astrologer
#23 - 189 (+1.5)
Most definitely accounts for the evening out with my one of my best friends on Fri. night - went to see Trouper and Colin James - great concert. 2 small glasses of red wine, 2 handfuls of cheesy pretzels, bruschetta and a handful of penne aribiatta.
Back to the drawing board.
This quote reminds me of one of our Presuppositions of NLP - convenient assumptions, beliefs that we adopt.
"A person's behaviour is not who they are." The person is not their behaviour. We are all more than our behaviours.
In NLP coaching it this belief that allows us to accept the person and change the behaviour. We also don't believe in labels. We see every person as magnificent and we assist them in actualizing that magnificence. Whatever the behaviour you can conceive, you know that you're more than that behaviour, don't you? And I think you knew that already didn't you. :)
If I asked you who you are, you might answer, I'm an admin assistant, a nurse, a clerk, a doctor, but that's just your behaviour, it's not who you really are.
So in NLP be believe that people are more than their behaviours.
We teach all about the 14 Presuppositions in the accelerated week long NLP training - we have one coming up in September in Newmarket, Ontario.
Before that you might like to check out the weekend event July 11/12 that will give you a good taste of Neuro Linguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy (TM) and Hypnosis - very transformational.
The event usually costs $350 a person but as I'm an affiliate of the company I have been given 5 seats at only $75 each! Pretty amazing.
If you send me an email that you're interested I'll hook you up with all the details and you decide.

#21 - "When I hear somebody sigh, "Life is hard," I am always tempted to ask, "Compared to what?" Sydney J. Harris -was an American Journalist
#21 - 187.5 (-.5) To Date -26.5
There's a self limiting belief if I ever heard one. (TLT would blow that out)
The other response I give to someone that says that quote "Life is hard", is "Don't make it any easier than you have to, in order for you to find the value in it." People usually respond with, "what?" and then say, "right" and laugh.
I read the following today: "If you have your health, you aren't fighting in a war, and your family bond is close, you should count your blessings daily. Because every life presents such an incredible opportunity to grow, learn, share, laugh and love."
How true...we just need to notice those opportunities...

#20 - "We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves." Francois Duc de La Rochefoucauld
#20 - 188 (down 1.5), B.F. 40.5 (down 1) Total -26 lb...we're on a roll :)
Francois Duc de La Rochefoucauld
(1613-1618)
French classical author, a contemporary of Descartes, who is best known for his maximes, epigrams expressing a harsh or paradoxical truth in the briefest manner possible. A cynical observer of Louis XIV's court, La Rochefoucauld mostly saw selfishness, hypocrisy, and weakness in general in human behavior. With his independent way of thinking he was also one of the intellectual forefathers of the Enlightenment. La Rochefoucauld's insights have influenced amongst others Lord Chesterfield, Thomas Hardy, Friedrich Nietzsche, Stendhal, and André Gide. http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/rochefou.htm
I love this guys quote. I looked him up and he was quite the character. He had a rough life and even though he was quite cynical and lived his life on the "Effect" side of the equation (where most of society lives), he was still able to make lemonade out of the lemons that he thought life had dealt him with his many writings and published works.
I teach in my 1 on 1 coaching and in my workshops about "Cause and Effect". To be empowered you need to chose to live on the "Cause" side of the equation. Meaning that you're accountable and responsible for where you are and aren't in your life. Accepting that your life is a result of the choices that you made and didn't make up until this point. Being at "Effect" essentially, is to blame everyone else for your lot in life, even why you did or didn't become the person you really wanted to be, like Francois. When you're at "Effect", you totally give your power away.
I do my best to live my life from the "Cause" side and find it very freeing.
