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.

#19 - "Don't be afraid if things seem difficult in the beginning. That's only the initial impression...
The important thing is not to retreat; you have to master yourself." Olga Korbut Olympic Gold Medalist Gymnast
#19 - 189.5 (down 3), B.F. 41.5 same
Yep, that was it. I had been eating too much protein at lunch and dinner! See the difference 1-3 oz extra was making? Wow!
Had another appointment with my NLP Coach today - keeping me on track, tweaking and eliminating any limiting beliefs in order to support me unconsciously in the conscious changes that I continue to make.
I'd better explain that for those who are not in the field of Neuro Linguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy TM and Hypnosis.
Did you know that all Learning, Behaviour and Change happens at the unconscious level.
Have you ever tried to change a behaviour consciously, it takes forever. That's because your unconscious mind (domain of our emotions, feelings and drives our behaviour) is the goal getter and your conscious mind (thinking, logical and analytical) is the goal setter.
So you're thinking (conscious mind) that you want to change a habit but unbeknown to you there's a program running in the unconscious mind that disagrees, you will be unsuccessful in changing it permanently.
That's why I love my work so much, with my many quick, easy and fun tools/techniques, I'm able to assist my clients in making the changes that they want to make at the unconscious level so that they are permanent.
Lots more on that subject of your unconscious mind at my workshops.

#18 - "Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. It's the end you're after." Anthony Robbins
#18 - 193 (up 2), B.F. 41.5 (down .5)
Wow, how appropriate is this quote for me today!
I'll admit I must've been having a man moment this time around and decided not to re-read the instruction booklet, specially in regards to portion size.
Long story short, it appears that I've been consuming 1-3 oz more protein at each meal! (4-5 oz, not 6-8 oz) Yikes!!! Glad I realized this now, rather than at day 45.
Well that would explain a lot, especially the weight loss not being as much as I would've figured by this point
Back to the drawing board...
I'm certainly learning a lot that I continue to work into my programs to make sure that my clients achieve their results. The difference that I make as a Coach offering these programs, is that not only have I lived this and learnt from it but I have combined the HCG with NLP to guarantee the success is permanent.
We can guarantee our results with NLP Coaching because everyone always achieves their results. I knew that I would achieve my weight loss goal with NLP, regardless of HCG, and I, like everybody else, just wanted the visible results faster :)

Day #17 - "Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success.When you do a thing, do it with all your mind.Put your whole soul to it...

Remember I said organization is very important. Well today on the way home from the cottage (takes me 2 1/2 hrs.)I knew I was going to be late for supper-not good.
Thought about stopping at Wendy's for a grilled chicken and could throw the bun away but I still need my greens-not like I can eat a salad while driving. Decided against that. Thought I'd stop at Cosco and get my chicken there (it's so much more inexpensive) even though you're supposed to have organic and just throw it on the BBQ when home.
I had drank all the water I brought with me for the ride, took one, should've taken at least 2 bottles. Again, I'd thought about driving through Tim's and get a water and a Green Tea...but didn't. Hindsight's always 20/20. Make note.
So the same thing happened that happened before (Day #13), I get home, I'm so hungry I'm almost sick to my stomach, it's after 8, I drink a glass of water but it's not good enough. If you don't eat when you're supposed to and let yourself get too hungry then look out! You can just imagine what I heard myself saying...
I was at the cottage 2 days, Sat. indulged in a few glasses of wine and because no supper 'til late, I got into some snacks! Cost me 2 lb. by Sunday a.m. and I felt yucky. Terrible headache and upset stomach, wasn't such a good idea after all. The rest of the time ate what I should and on time - I actually cooked both proteins at lunch so that I could have my supper at "my time". Therefore, as of today, I'm back down the 2 to 191.5, strange thing the BF went up by .5 so I'm wondering if my Sea Bass was too big. Think I'll stay away from that for now.
On the flip side, I'm pretty pleased that I was on my game more than I was off. In the past, whatever program I was on before I went to the cottage, went down the drain the whole time there. In fact, when I chose to have the wine and snacks it was a conscious choice, thanks to the tools and techniques of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and TLT (Time Line Therapy TM).
I remember 2 years ago, before my daughter got married I had been "consciously" trying to lose weight and I just seemed to be getting bigger, so out of desperation one day, Feb. '07, on the way home from work I went to L.A. Weight loss and signed up. It cost me around $1300, ($600 for me to go and get weighed in 1-3 times a week, $400 for bars that were supposed to kill your appetite.) Over the next 5 months, I think I reduced in total 8 lb. and then it just went back on plus more!
Anybody, like me, who's been challenged with weight issues probably has a few of these stories in their back pocket, I know I certainly do.
NLP & TLT are the tools that make the difference. How? By creating the permanent changes you want to make in your life - quickly, easily and effortlessly!
