Water!!!!!!! and KIDS their take on it.

Now that it has been a year and I can't possibly live without my liquid fuel for the day and I even crave more then what I used to consume. Plus I like chocolate or grape or lemon or hazelnut Stevia in my water some times. We have a crazy occurance at our house, here are a few angles to view.

Kids responses to me when I say drink water!

C boy ugh a I know I know I need a water bottle but you are never given time to go pee in school!

Pretty girl Jo, "Water isn't the cure all to all things, now you have my boyfriend telling me all the time that I need to drink more water!" "A drink of anything is better then nothing so buy some pop once in awhile!"

Mom Response NO!!!!!! POP!!!!!!

Mc, "WHATEVER it is not the fix everything MOM!"

K boy, ok mom I will. "Mom this morning (at 6:00am) I drank two big cups of water and now my tummy hurts."

Me, "well its just your body getting woke up inside in a new way because it got cold all of a sudden and you never drink until after getting to school", ( he wont eat breakfast here he wants to eat at the school.) I don't think he realizes that this makes your metabolize get into gear for the day when you start feeding and gasing it with water.

Z boy, "wahhh I don't want a drink", then quick change of tune before going out the door or at times returning to get a drink and missing the bus, even on days when I told him he should get a drink first thing in the morning. I have to remind him that he needs to drink whatever it is that he is going to drink before 8:00 pm or the Mom and the bed pay a price and I already have enough laundry daily to add to the load.

Jer the little guy, asleep at 6am "Mom I need a drink from my bottle", or get me some green stuff. When he is fully awake brushing teeth he wants to suck the water out of the brush instead of drinking from a cup.

The Hubby, he thinks liquids that are diet like Dr. Pepper is a good enough substance and he would float if he tried to drink the amount that I can now drink. He can't keep a balance here at all and I win in that area.

The crazy part they are fighting over my morning SHAKEOLOGY all the time now. I guess I am going to have to share some with more then just little guy. 'The fave at our house is peanut butter and strawberry with the chocolate shakeology.
Have a super great day, gotta work my abs now. 

134.8 WATER our bodies need it!

I would agree that many people are very thirsty in our world today. Look at this interview.

I now realize two years later that the lack of water is what caused me to to have an appendicitis attack, especially if I look at the fact that two days before the first pain started I had eaten a ton of dried peaches while on a hike up the mountain.

This site has great info on ways to help our body because so many of us lack water that is so needed.

Jer has to have breathing treatments with histamines, they do this: Histamine: Substance that plays a major role in many allergic reactions. Histamine dilates blood vessels and makes the vessel walls abnormally permeable.

There are many that do other kinds of things in the body also like this.

But if you read the interview you can see how water helps the body just as nicely too.

Seeing these notes help us to make sense why the drug companies push something they can make money with instead of the free water that we can all get too.

Did you ever wonder why one of the first things done at the hospital in the ER is to put an IV drip, well read this and think about it, this makes sense.

My calves hurt I walked my stair case of 28 steps for 10 min's three different times yesterday.

Today I walked 6 laps around the High school track running the last lap in a slow jog.

Today's eating was a mess I did not fallow protocol at all because of things that kept me unprepared and out of my own safe kitchen the evenings read on the scale was scary hope I burn a lot of calories in my sleep. Here's to starting over in the morning and doing better from her on out.

136.2 Water it helps a body to lose not gain.

The Cboy told me that he hadn't been drinking the allotted amount of water that we had figured out his body weight needed in a day. I told him "well if you want to stay under 103 and not retain you need to keep your system flushing the right way with the amount it needs." He said "but then I will gain water weight."

Other peoples ideas of making sure your system has enough water to keep or stay level on the scales.

1.

2.

Lunch: HHCG 10 drops, fish a tomato, and and orange, with too many melba rounds again.

Dinner: HHCG 10 drops, Chicken cabbage soup with melba rounds in the soup. Another Honey crisp apple the are so dang good.

138.2 Water Water wAtEr so neccesary.

Water Drink it because its so good for you!

Read This to see why it helps in Weight loss.

Read This to see the need.

I have a hard time getting my Little Guy Jer to drink water but I am tricky and put Stevia in the water and then he will get at least a 6 oz amount most days. When he left the NICU we had many inhalers that we had to use to keep his lungs open and not wheezing. He has very damaged lung tissue areas and all we could do was wait until new tissue grew. This takes at least 8 Years to do and in some of the areas that are damaged it will never come back to normal, there is just a great big cyst that takes up the space. The thing that always bugged me about his inhalers was the fact that there is a lot of salt in the mix, not to mention the steroids, He is diagnosed with Asthma or it is better known to him as Severe Cystic BPD, Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, This is a medical defination.

He had a wheeze and then I read THIS mans book and started to work on getting him to consume water so that I could see if the wheeze diminished.

Guess what if he has been a really good water consumer then we usually never have a problem with a wheeze or an attack but when I stop being persistent then I can hear the little squeak as he drops into heavy sleep in the middle of the night and I have an instant pang of regret and get back on top of tricking him with a 6 oz amount of Stevia flavored water.

Yep Water its pretty darn important for our bodies.

Me Drinking lots of water today.

Working out with Denises Austins lovely ABs DVD. I just can't not do something in the workout area even while on HHCG. I do take it really easy and be very slow and soft to my body when using HHCG because I do not want to pull and muscles or make myself tired.

Lunch: chicken and cabbage soup with melba rounds and an orange.

Dinner:hamburger with wasa crakers and a tomato with an apple.

146.4 Cellulite and fat cells!

Monday 147.4 Last of the peewee 4-H party. What a yummy barbecue I ate just the burgers no bun with all the veg trimmings and watermelon with chicken salad it was so good.

Tuesday 147.0 It was a crazy day of the first soccer games for 3 of my youngest boys. Little guy sat an cried the last game because he wanted to just go home he says he hates this game. I wonder if he will ever play any sports. Thank goodness he didn't have to have any breathing treatment since we didn't get the right packed backpack with us.

Wednesday 146.4 I watched this while I was walk/running on my treadmill finally after a summer of outside moving and now I am grounded to the inside because there are no babysitters at home anymore.

On the show they talked about how the cellulite is sucked out by reducing the water in the cells until it was moved around in a procedure to reduce it, sad thing is it didn't last for long. Hmmm I say after doing HHCG and drinking lots of water or at least the amount I should be in a day that this is what has happened to my body without having to be really evasive and expensive. I flushed the cells and moved them around especially when I get running. Now I am preparing to get rid of about 25 lbs more.

Weighing my very lean beef and getting the stuff like lemon juice and stevia for my extra water consumption. Ya I actually have sucked at water drinking since about the middle of July because one of the kids knocked my water container out of the car on our many horse trips and I have kept forgetting to replace it.

One hour of walking running to about 3 miles yeah me I got some in today.

Oh yeah school started so it's kinda peaceful here at the moment. But its not going to last too long the day is almost over.

The surgery.

LONGEST DAY ON EARTH!!!!!!!! So all went well even if we had to keep Jer from eating or drinking which the eating wasn't hard but drinking on the other hand not so easy. It started when we woke him to get in the car which wasn't early. Last meal was at 1:00 am pediasure in a bottle. So we left him to sleep and sleep until 10:00 am. Which amazingly he did. But this morning he wants food so we are driving in car listening to begging for a drink or alternating for food for at least an hour. Finally he fell asleep. We arrive, water fountains the decorative kind are outside the hospital, he wants to drink the water out of them. Drinking faucet passed in hall he trys to crawl out of arms to get. Registering, he says he has to go potty, no go, but he tries to get to tap to get drink. He pouts while playing with toys.

He sees backpack and knows that I always carry water or pediasure. I have to put it up high and try again to divert his attention playing. Finally we get into the change room and dang there is another sink and Daddy (who thanks goodness got to come with me) does diverting while I sign more papers.

Anther toy waiting room, potty guise again. Fight that he needs water out of tap. This is getting so so so hard to keep him from crying and fighting to get the water. On any other day he could go forever without water but of course not today. I never thought I would be in the mode to say thank goodness he got into the surgery because he was so set on getting any possible water that he could. After two hours they call and they need me to hold the screaming baby who came up out of the anaesthesia wanting you guessed it WATER.

I do not think I have ever seen him drink it that fast. Everyone was scared he would puke after guzzling it that fast, but no he begged for more. And can you believe this the non eating guy downed a bowl of soft rice and butter. A cup worth it, was so fast we had to slow him on his intake followed by vanilla yogurt the whole entire cup, add 4 little hospital size apple juices and at 12 midnight he was like a pack rat holding on to the other yogurt cup insisting that he was going to eat it even though he was so so asleep. Maybe the trick is to starve him more often hmmm lets see how the morning pans out in the eating category, breakfast is not ever a favorite meal on his part.

It was a good thing that they revised his trach hole because they found that scar tissue was holding to the inside of his vocal cords and that got released so now maybe we will have stopped the possible throwing up that has plagued him at times. Only time will tell if that becomes the needed fix.

He has the cutest little white teeth now and the one that was curved because the ventilator tubing rested on the bud area and molded it's growth roots area and made the tooth formed in a upwards curve at the bottom of the tooth is all straight now. All the brown yucky spots are gone. Supposedly, which is not confirmed the Echo reviled no pulmonary hypertension but that is very unofficial as of right now.

Did he eat all that food that he is so nicely buttering NOPE not a thing. He did drink the apple juice and late that night a vanilla pediasure. Hey the nurse said "do I sense a white theme going on with the food category". White rice, white yogurt, he likes white pancakes usually, white bananas once in a while, white pediasure, white milk, white cheese sticks, chicken nuggets that have white insides, white insides on apples, I think I am going to have to pay attention to all this colorless foods he will try.

148.4 WHAT THE HECK GIVES!!!!!!!!!!

20 crunches

20 leg lifts

4-H competition today took my run time away.

So I ate hummus and butternut squash yesterday and what do I get an increase again. The only two things that could have bumped me that high were the hummus and squash which really means danger for me later or maybe the Aunt is coming to visit???? All I know is this up and down is so so crazy. I can handle 2 pounds but more ugggh. So you know all day hungry and the steak and apple for dinner. Really the strange thing is that I was never hungry the whole day. I am doing a steak day again tomorrow not to lose but because the family is having a get together with barbecue for the day.

Maybe my body swells like crazy after I go 5 miles in a run and that's why this happens? Well all I can say is I sure am looking forward to another losing round in the late fall.

My biggest struggle with this whole idea of this diet at the beginning was how much water I had to drink and the run to the throne, but I have noticed now that if I do not take in my 3 liters I feel so dry and I start tanking up in the late evening. This has happened 3 times to me when I forgot my water to bring so now it's like caring my purse it's just part of the travel bag.

How much water are you drinking daily?

154.4 thats the weight today!

So one way to help diminish the freezing that starts for me during the morning is if I drink my 3 liters of water with it starting on the luke warm side. And like I said I try to get more then half down by the time I am going to eat my lunch meal.
Here is a subject that when I think it in my head I can not say it on a blog but today I spoke it out loud and so it came out better then my thoughts and I am now going to try blogging it.
There is all this talk about constipation with people who are using HCG. So I think about the implications to this. 1 if your gut is used to having tons of food in it all the time and then it is in the situation of a 500 cal diet wouldn't your body after a bit say "hey wait a min not enough input for hugely stretched gut to push out why try." You see I have to take my little guy to a GI DR., that's short for Gastroenterology Doctor who studies gastrointestinal illnesses. So you know a GUT investigating guy who listens so us about why our little guy won't Poop. And gives medicine to help him get hungry enough to eat so that he will poop. The best advice I heard from him was. " YOU KNOW IT CAN'T COME OUT IF IT'S NOT PUT IN FIRST"! So my take on this whole constipation issue with HCG is our guts having been way overloaded through the years, and some more then others, has to take time to adjust and it will get to some kind of a normalcy. Just relax. 2 maybe take some good Biotropins with Acidphilus and Bifidus. Maybe all the good bacteria needs a boost in your gut. Dr's.. don't tell us to take this stuff after giving us an antibiotic. Did you know antibiotics kill these good bacterias that help our guts attack and break down stuff. So now you can save a few thousand and not visit a GI Doc since I told you a bit of advice he told us.

Oh I lost and I even have a lovely visitor Flo. Now that's a start because last time I just held and held, but it does help explain my inability to resist the Cayenne Chocolate Bar.
Lunch: Tuna, apple,celery on a Wasa Cracker
Dinner: Chicken with spinach,seasoned with onion and garlic powder, and Fresh strawberries, Melba rounds
Miles: 4 Easy walk on the treadmill.

Thirsty thirsty! 156.6 mmmmmm

Well that's not much of a loss but its .6 oz. I didn't sleep at all last night my little guy pulled my hair in his sleep all night and rolled and rolled around. He didn't eat much dinner and so it showed in his sleep. Also the hubby was called to go back to work and that always makes it a sleepless night. The night before he had never came back from work so two nights in a row is really rough on me.

I walked to the bus with my little guy and kept on walking. Later I will drive the car on my path to mark how far I went. I was so thirsty today that I have already drank most of my water and that's without Stevia in it either, it feels good to be refreshed. 2miles up and down hills today yeah!

Lunch: Can you guess, yup fresh strawberries and cucumbers one last time. A Turkey burger grilled on a Wasa cracker bun with my home made mustard spread.

Dinner well I will have to see its going to be crazy so I might be doing the grab and run fajitas.

Ended up being Halibut sandwich on Melba rounds with salted celery and an apple. I must be missing bread I keep craving sandwiches.

I feel so gooooood!!!

Treadmill run/walk 4 miles whoo, some day I will be able to run the whole time.

My partner said that she has stayed right at the same weight that she ended at so I guess it can be done. I just haven't seen that with my body yet. Crazy body still up and down. 160.8 today and the loading days are coming sooooon to start on another round and move on down the scale.

Sample of what I ate today so far. Breakfast shake with flax seed ground up, milk, ricotta cheese, frozen peaches and some almonds. YUMMY! Lunch was an omelet with red peppers a tiny bit of left over hamburger from dinner last night, a zucchini, and some asparagus with Havarti dill cheese on the top. I think I will have a mini steak for dinner tonight with lots of onions but we shall see.

Drinking water I have found is way important. If I miss now I feel dehydrated and I also hang on to the weight lots more.

161.4 lbs I lost 22.6 is what I lost over my 40 day round.

WATER did you know that your body is about 80% water. So if you want to lose you need to drink at least 1/2 your weight in water. Great I should have been drinking even more then what I did during the whole of my HHCG weight loss round. Well live and learn and move forward.
Thinking about killer fat whats that you say, well hydrogenated oils or trans fat. Did you know it's in so many many things that we eat and we do not need them. I have always been a big olive oil user and I am grateful for that unknowing that's been in my life but I am going to be a better label reader and not buy if it has the word hydrogenated or trans fat on it.
IT IS JUST NOT WORTH THE POSSIBLE WEIGHT GAIN BACK THAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

Lunch Chicken roll with spinach inside and and apple. No more breads for me for awhile at least not while HCG isn't there to help keep the fats burning off my system.

Dinner Lean hamburger, picante sauce, grapefruit.

169 Wii BMI 28.94 168 New scales

Well today I felt more energized and able to get up on my workout goal at 6:00 am. I weighed did weight training with the Wii, ran kids to the bus two diff rent times and back to bar lifting to tone my back and arms. Nice soaking bath and ready to hit the day hard. I have started to look at what I will be doing on P3 since I do not want to gain and I want to make sure I am eating well. I am starting to read about the Atkins induction diet and what are the fats and proteins that are used in that diet. I kinda want some rules and structure.
I also spoke with a nurse friend about why the body retains water during menes (Aunt Flo.) They said it's because it's the defense against dehydration as the body begins to exchanging fluid loss. Even if the exchange is small and the fact that there is some swelling that occurs in that area makes for the fluid retention that also occurs. It makes sense especially when you end up sitting on the throne draining out a few days after the start point if your drinking the fluids you should.

Lunch venison and cucumber strawberry salad today with melba toast bread crumbs.
Dinner curried flounder,on tomato, with grissin sticks and apple. Yeah 500 calorie compliant.

170 New scales

I wish I were a Dr.,scientist,nutritionist, geneticist, who knows what to call it person who understood why a body acts the way it does when hormones start changing around. Well as you can see the scales went back up, the body is retaining lots of water and hopefully in a few days when my body gets back to normal status it will all drop back off. I am not going to panic, my partner never gained and never lost during her lovley visit so be patient.

Lunch blackened fish made my own spice rub and spinach with orange vinaigrette and little orange slices on top with gissine sticks.

Dinner was rough. I had to go to a recognition dinner and eat what they served. I ate a bowl of chili so that's meat of beef and beans and tomatoes. Also a green salad with salt on it. No bread and one failing of Key lime pie. Otherwise it was as close as I could get to the 500 cal diet with my one failing on the desert. Also I drank lots of water today and tonight I am starting to feel back to the me again that was there a few days ago.

March 2, 2010 Wii 173.1 172.8 new scales

Freezing again but feeling oh so good in the skin I have. My hands feel less puffy and fat. Now if my chin would slim down that would be nice. It was a crazy day of trying to make sure I ate at the right time and have time to even cook it. Lunch small 3.5 oz raw weighed sirloin tip steak with asparagus and apple salad. Dinner was strawberry cucumber salad with curried fish that's my favorite way to cook it. I could not make it cooking if I didn't have the recipes that make it so I can think up these combinations. I really cook terribly if its on my own and can not think up a veggi recipe for nothing. I had to be in places that I didn't know my water releasing spots so that was rough. I also have gotten Chocolate Stevia and Lemon twist stevia and add that to my water. Now I can get my water down easily in new ways. ITS GOING DOWN YEAH YEAH YEAH!

February 22, 2010 179, BMI 30.56

IT REALLY IS WORKING! I want to tell people and then talk myself out of it. I need to be believable and I am just starting so calm down girl. I could have gotten it for so much less money back when whoever it is that called me and told me about it and I dismissed them, good grief that was stupid on my part. But I guess we each have to learn and come to acceptance. Water sure holds a lot of energy inside it if we will just partake of it. I have no more headache or pressure from the water intake I also am not having to have as many relief stops to empty the water out of me. I am getting through the day all the way without the usual burn out feeling that hits me around 2 to 4 p.m. The pounding is still there, but my blood pressure is normal. I think about it for a bit and remember that I have at one time been in renal failure and this was kind of what I felt like when I had IV"S in me and all that fluid inside. The big difference is that my tissues are not holding the water this time it is flushing through and that pounding must be my kidneys working to move it out. I wonder if it will lessen over the next days and my body gets adjusted to taking the 2 liters of water that we should all have as adults. My partner lost 3 lbs and thinks she must be just having dumped a ton of water off her. Her turn to be skeptical. She says she is hungry to much and grouchy. As I eat my lunch I think I must have been starving myself through the years. Shrimp and tomatoes with curry sauce. Melba toast and apple. Dinner is Mongolian Beef and Cabbage, orange and grissini sticks. Yuck won't be trying that recipe again. To much cabbage maybe. Skeptical again is it the HHCG or is it just the diet that is making me lose the weight? Would a light amount of working out make me drop more? I feel really grouchy also and emotionally wrung out what is going on here I wonder. Stop doubting and stay true I tell myself and Goodnight.

Starting a new way to lose. February 17, 2010, 180. straight up.

So I have spent many years being pretty in shape and still having my babies and losing after and then some major stresses came into my life with my last baby. So for the last year I have tried to lose this weight and get back into a better shape. I have walked on the treadmill and around on our bike paths and played with the WII. Gotten discouraged and started to give up and now found HHCG. A friend of mine used it and lost and she was the same kind of person as me working the tail off to see slim results. I have to admit I had to read about it an really get convinced and understand the ins and outs. Because back in Oct. someone had called me on the phone and told me you could lose weight with this and I laughed. That was a steroid or meant to help kids who won't grow plus isn't it illegal was my reply. I also thought how can I tailor this to the way I have to up and go all the time. Ok just not eat, well that won't help I already had tried that route and you do not lose. What about family parties they are always centered around good foods that I do not have to cook. Also how do you drive three hours drinking tons of water and making it to the next relieving stop? Lets see is there anymore crazy excuses I could come up with. Well I started to drink the assigned amount of water after reading Dr. Simeon's manuscript protocol and felt more energy and all around better. I started that about a week before so I could know all the relief spots on my route. I have always sucked at drinking water. I found adding Stevia with all the amazing flavors it comes in that you can get it down really nicely. I did get a headache it seemed from the add pressure in my tissues; anyway thats my assumption. Well after figuring out all my stopping points on the road to appointment's I got prepared to beginning a new phase of feeling skinny and maybe food deprived for about 23 days. Yeah I can do anything to be smaller again!

Find this Manuscript first and read it not once not twice but over and over again till you get it.

There is a life style change that you must be willing to make.
