ETW: Hello to all.

Have been reading posts when I get a chance. Have to study more recently for school. Yuk!!!

Love all the receipes, thanks for sharing.

MG: Just got the flyer in from VitaMix.

will have to take a look. I bought the new cookbook for it in september at the Eastern State Expo that they come to every year.

Just got my shipment of CLA, now I need to reorder GLA(

). Haven't been able to get to the gym, I feel so crappy not being able to exercise and the muscles are starting to stiffen. That said haven't been able weigh myself either.

Phil - Here's a few things you can try for a cold that might have shorten the duration. There is a product called Zicam, another called Flu Reduce. As far as natural supplements, Astragalus is great, Echinacea and good old Vitamin C. If you are getting a sore throat at all I would go with Zinc lozenges. I worked for a vitamin company for 8 years and those are things that seem to help.

Lildragonfly - My face gets really red when I exercise, drink or am just hot. In my case I think it is genetic as my mom and sister have the same thing. My 19 month old daughter gets the rosy cheeks when she is hot too.

Kycowgirl - What flavor of Natural Calm do you have? I bought sweet lemon and it's pretty good. I heat up an ounce of water, mix it in until it dissolves and then add a few ice cubes to cool it. It ends up being about 2 ounces and tastes like lemon water. Hope that helps.

I still can't handle the Clarinol. I think I am just traumatized from the new bottle and how different it is from my previous. I'm going to go back to taking 5 Tonalin CLA softgels. Maybe I'll try again in a few weeks.

Have a great day everyone!

ADLMA · 01-23-2008, 08:37 AM

Chic - I tried the thought thing last night. Well, it may have done better had I not fallen asleep almost right away.

I will say, I did awake all rested and refreshed and ready for the day, which was what I told myself to do. My 9-year-old tried it too. She also fell asleep a little soon, but she still thinks it worked great for her. All in all, good idea!

mikkimouse · 01-23-2008, 08:58 AM

Good Mornin!!!!!

Marsha love the picture!!!!

Umm i havent had time to read thru the posts... Bad, Bad Mikki!!!

LOL....You and your DD did it right! You don't have to lay there and meditate for long periods at all, just a few times as you are getting comfortable. Glad it worked. It's amazing how I was NEVER a morning person before I started doing this. Now I'm up and ready to go before anyone in my house and I have young ones.

Hehehe,

Just a little plug:
Prayer works better for me!

ADLMA · 01-23-2008, 09:18 AM

MG - I said my prayers, then started with the vision for the next morning. Didn't make it too far into the vision thing. I begin the day with prayer, but I was hoping that doing a vision of the nex day would help me get more accomplished. . .no so much so far.

MG- thank you on pic my webcam not very clear but this pic is from my digital camera. I have not been checked for Roseaca but my mom has that too. See how flushed I look.

Mild cases of excema or rosacea can look like this. I am in perimenopause and having hot flashes and I don't have a red face. If this is a continuing thing you should see a dermatologist.

Justachic · 01-23-2008, 09:24 AM

MG...I do that too!!!

lildragonfly · 01-23-2008, 09:39 AM

Morning folks!!
Thanks for all the info on my skin. I think Ill watch it for a week and see when and how much it does it.
Mikki- Thanks for compliment!
Utah- i drink the sweet lemon calm too. It helps me with my BM each day as well as helps me sleep.

MG- We pray every night. Even though last night daughter prayed for snow too lol.

Menu:
B: 2 eggs fried in coconut oil on 2 cleo rolls
2 cups coffee w /cream and splenda

L: Chicken wings w./ ranch

D: Not sure yet

Water, water, water!!

Thank goodness!!! I'm so happy for you.

Chic - I woke up at 6:50 a.m. and did free weights.

Kathy - Nice pic. You are still young, but I even thought you were younger than 38.

Tom - Sorry you are crampy today. Does that mean I get to use the ab lounger today or maybe it is Trish's turn since you hogged it last night.

Justachic · 01-23-2008, 12:16 PM

Mikki....so glad to hear the good news! Thank goodness.

Michele...now yer talking....it will only get better! Nothing like re-programming your thoughts to be better at anything.

FreeingMyself · 01-23-2008, 12:21 PM

OK not a lot of time to read through posts, but as for TOM he is MIA???

I am officially due on the 28th, but did have spotting

Anyway, waiting to take a preggo test and I am still stuck at 171.5lb this morning. I am trying to lower my carbs a little more and see if that helps. On the first I am so ordering more combo!!!

Hope all is well with everyone!!

BufoDieter · 01-23-2008, 01:47 PM

Hello everyone!

Even though I'm still reading all the CLA/GLA posts, I wanted to pop in here and say I bought some of each today and plan to start using it regularly. It just sounds like too good of a thing not to.

I've lost 20 pounds since August, and I figure I have 30 - 40 more to lose. I have noticed that since my second son was born I'm having trouble losing in my belly and waist... that just seems to want to hang on! Then I ran across a post about CLA and started reading. Hoping that this supplement combo will help do the trick and get that fat moving!

Meanwhile, I'm continuing to eat properly and exercise, as well as read on this board as often as I can. I'll try and post & check in here regularly. Back to reading the CLA threads...

Justachic · 01-23-2008, 05:54 PM

Bufodieter...I gotta thank you for posting today. I have to say I've been out of the loop from that whole Kimkins issue but I just got done reading your blog and have learned a lot from it. Being that I don't allow myself to cheat in my WOE anymore (determined to hit my goal and soon) I find that my appetite has almost disappeared. It's a good thing but if I'm not careful, it could be bad as described. Now I remember why I had better results in losing body fat when I allowed myself to eat foods that were richer in calories occasionally. I noticed just today a decrease in my energy levels which WILL affect my gym performance if it continues. I'll be re-adjusting my carbs becuz I am feeling a bit

lately. Your posting came just at the right moment for me!
