DAY TEN

....missed again....

Each morning this week, I've woken up, got my gear on and attempted the warm-up. The first day, I did the warm-up with the video and then decided I wasn't ready to do the workout. Yesterday and today, I get my gear on, do the first couple of moves of the warm-up - assess my pain level and then go back to bed. Hopefully tomorrow, I'll get up, do the warm-up moves and head downstairs to do Yoga. This should be the one out of the whole week that I'll be able to do.

My chest still has pain after I swallow or eat something. And, currently, laying 1/2 propped up in my bed, also not helpful. I went to see a homeopathic doctor today, she did muscle testing on me. It was pretty cool. I had read about it before, but didn't know how it could really be used in action. Now I do... She had me lay down and put my right arm up (just my forearm up in the air, elbow to shoulder on the bed) and then she asked a series of questions (in her head) and by the resistance my arm provided, she received a yes or no response. (You can read about this in the book, Power vs. Force). So, from this assessment she learned that there's a battle going on between my pancreas and my gall bladder. At times only the secretions from my pancreas are able to get through, and other times only the secretions from my gall bladder... These are causing my stomach to be unsettled - and at times - violently ill. So, she gave me a whole slew of things for me to try out and we'll go from there. I start my remedy tomorrow.

I also told her about this program and about how I am on track to lose 60lbs. And she then told me about the weight loss program she runs. It's based totally on each person's body and looking after the 7 metabolism systems in the body. Ideally, you get all of these on track, and your body will maintain your weight for you... Similarly to those out there who don't really have to watch what they eat. Hello? Nirvana? What? I told her that I would continue with P90X and the diet I got from "The Last 15" by Dr. Joey Shulman, and if I get stuck, I'll definitely come to see her. I gotta give what I started a decent try. Definitely something to keep in mind though. I know of at least one other friend who is having success from the diet her homeopath (or naturopath) set up for her. So, the option is there...
