Yes, it has been a while. This blogging thing is hard to keep up. I guess it just hasn't become a habit yet.
So I thought I would edge back gingerly onto the ice with a physical fitness update.
I have been changing the way I eat and getting regular exercise for about 5 weeks now, and can happily say that I have lost 16 pounds, which is pretty sweet. I have more tellingly lost 3 inches off my chest, 3.5 off my waist, and 1 off my hips. The change in shape is probably a more clear indicator of improvement than the scale, but the scale is easier to measure.
The most important indicator is how I feel. I feel great. I can really notice an improvement in my fitness level. I'm stronger, faster, tougher, more flexible than I was even a month ago. This is the good stuff. This is what it is all about.
The demon cola has been banished for now. I had one drink of the stuff in early April, and none since. Even with a ridiculously stressful event at work a couple of days ago, I managed to avoid temptation. I still keep a couple of cans in the refrigerator at work, and a half dozen in the basement at home, as much to be able to show that I am _not_ an addict as anything else. To know that I could have one whenever I wanted, but simply choose not to. I guess that means it is not really a demon at all - just something that isn't particularly good for me and that I no longer need.
What about all the rest of the Great Work? All that soul-searching and what-not that was supposed to result in a new, improved, kinder and gentler Me?
Well, it seems to be on hold for the most part right now. If I am working on any part of that right now, it is my tendency towards irritability and quick anger. Is it working? No. I have yet to dip deep enough into the cauldron of thoughts and emotions that is my brain to figure that one out yet. Much easier right now to simply work up a good sweat and feel good about that. The rest will come in time. Healing the body will go far in healing the mind and spirit, I think.

Saundslimming is very effective and very cheap contemporary supplement to any weight loss diet.
It is next step in development of sonopuncture - non-invasive technique of stimulation of acupuncture points carried out using a narrow, cylindrical ultra-sound beam. This stimulation decreases appetite, accelerates metabolism, stimulates release of endorphins offering relaxing and calming effect.
So In many studies, the difference between those using Soundslimming as integral part of weight loss program and those not, was statistically significant.
Conventional thinking tells us that losing weight and keeping pounds off is essentially a physiological process
However,The exhaustive Cochrane treatment review found that increasing of the psychological aid significantly increases the weight reduction.
Our body-mind (subconsciousness) accepts any diet restrictions as some threat and makes stocks for a future stress case.
This explains why so many people fail to achieve permanent fat loss
Hence any diet will be dramatically more effective and its results will be more constant when it being used in combination with additional body-mind calming tools.
Soundslimming as the tool helps control stress and anxiety and keep your body-mind (subconsciousness) relaxed so that your tendency of overeating is reduced.
Soundsliming has many advantages against the sonopuncture
- do not needs To define location of acupuncture points very precisely that allows to carry out the procedure yourselves without assistance
- Uses habitual sound range so you can use for soundsliming your mobile phone
- Soundsliming uses especial sound melody ”Waning Moon Sound”, which rather more effective than simple sinusoidal signal used by sonopuncture. So different phases of the moon differently influence human body.
Experiences show that during a waning moon is the best to start a longer diet. This melody is obtained by means of dynamic transformation of waning Moon image to sound.This technology gives melody which effects identical to waning Moon
As example of Moon influence: peer-reviewed study of Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics nominated Robert Taylor in March, 2000.was published in the Harvard Business Review about his finding that "The Moon Affects the Stock Market," An outside research team concurred that the "15 days around the New Moon dates are about double the returns in the 15 days around Full Moon
- Listening to “Waning Moon Sound” after period of diet helps to prevent you from weight regain. You can use this melody as a rington ( slimmingtone) for your mobile
