Testing Stuff .....

Well .... all my products have arrived so now I am in Testing Mode ...

The first product I am trying is/are the Diet Pills called Nuphedrine ..... hmmmmm ..... they make me feel a little weird in the head ... also a little "wired" .... I am supposed to take one in the morning and one at lunch ... so I will try that for a few weeks and see if there is any difference in my hunger and weight loss and energy and all of that. I'll keep you posted ...

I stepped on the scale yesterday and was down 10 lbs from September 2007 when I first started working out again. That is the lowest it has been. Tom is down almost 30 lbs since January 7th 2008 .... which make me very happy for him!! ((But pissy for me, ya know??)) Then this morning I stepped on the scale and I was back up 5 lbs .... SNORT!! Tom says the scale is picky about where you stand on it ... so I will test that theory in a few minutes.

The 2nd product I tried/am trying out are the KINOKI Detox Foot Pads which we saw on a commercial. I have been reading pros and cons about the product, so decided to try for myself. I used one last night on my right foot .... and sure enough .... the pad was dark brown and nasty this morning. I'll continue to try them nightly, alternating feet .... and keep you posted. Allegedly, the pad is supposed to look lighter and lighter each morning until it doesn't change color much at all ... we shall see.

I think these might be the same type of patches that Sweeney was always raving about ... I'll have to ask her.

The 3rd product .... which I am going to try this morning in a few minutes is the Body Wrap inch reducing/detox system! I'll keep you posted on that ... it looks like it is going to be messy ... we'll see. I am going to try it out on one of my biggest problem areas .... the fat rolls between my boobs and my waist. I have had these rolls since I was a child ... even at my slimmest, they are there ... so let's see what happens!

Update .... okay ... that wasn't too bad .... the kit comes with two ace bandages and 12 packets of clay. The directions are to boil 1 pint of water and add one packet of clay to the boiled water ... then soak the bandages in the clay/water. Wrap the warm, wet bandages around the area to be treated ... cover with a towel or saran wrap with punctures in it ... area must stay warm ... for one hour.

Okay .... so I wrapped the bandages around my middle ... then placed my swimming suit over that, then wrapped a large towel around that ... then put on a fleece sweatshirt and now I am wrapped in my warmest blanket and waiting for an hour. The area does not feel warm ... it is wet and chilly ... and the clay didn't mix well with the water ... so I don't feel like the bandages got equal amounts of clay dispersed evenly ...

I am trying to think of a way to do this all at LAFitness and use the sauna to stay warm in ... the nice thing is that there are 12 packets of clay ... so I can use this several times ... I like that.

1.5 hours later .... okay .... even thought the area felt cold, when I took the bandages off, it was warm .... and when I measured it was 2.5 inches smaller ... no kidding. I find this very interesting. I will measure again tomorrow and see if it is still 2.5 inches smaller. THEN ... here is my plan ... I am going to take a packet of clay and the bandages to LAFitness tomorrow ... and the tape measure ... after I lift weights and swim for 40 minutes, I am going to warm the bandages in a very hot shower ... measure the area ... apply the clay directly to the area I want treated ... (same area) wrap the bandages, cover with swimming suit ... wrap a towel ... and go sit in the sauna for 30 minutes ... or as long as I can handle it! Drinking water the whole time .... then I am going to bundle up and come home ... and take off the bandages and see what happens ... I'll keep you posted ... LOL !



What the heck!! I might as well experiment some! Live ... Love .... LAUGH!!
