Drink Water to loose weight!

So, My friend Mary and I are in a bet to see who can loose 10 lbs faster. She has really been motivating me to get out and exercise and count my calories. I must say, I have never counted calories before, but it has been okay the past 2 days. So, I may be posting health stuff for a minute.

I did not write the following...I got it from wikianswers. Very interesting, though!


Water is the number one most important thing to address when it comes to losing weight, because water actually increases your body's ability to metabolize fat. Here's how:

Your liver is the organ that deals with metabolizing fat, and your kidneys deal with straining the toxins out of the water you drink. However, if you do not have enough water in your system already, your kidneys will not be able to do their job. In this case, your body shifts some of the work over to your liver.

We all know what happens when we are working on a project and someone comes over and dumps their half-finished work on the pile; our project doesn't get the attention it needs. Same here. Your liver was dealing with fat, but now it has to do that AND deal with the extra filtering that the kidneys would normally do. So the efficiency of the liver is compromised, and it winds up leaving a lot of fat in your body that normally would have been burned away.


The idea that drinking too much water or a certain temperature of water will make you bloat is a myth. Your body bloats when it is dehydrated because it believes that you aren't going to give it enough water, so it will save what is already there. The ONLY way to deal with bloating is to drink more water. Bloating is a sure sign that you are dehydrated.

It may be inconvenient at first because you will have to pee more often, but the reason that you are running to the bathroom is actually great; your body is finally letting go of all the old, toxic water that its been holding onto. The water that you are drinking is usually not the first water that you excrete after being dehydrated. Now your body knows that you will be replacing the water, so it isn't panicking and storing it, it is letting go to make room for the fresh, clean water you are sending in. After a few days or a week, the bathroom trips will slow down and your body will get into a great rhythm, which includes reduced appetite, more luminous complexion, and better muscle tone, as well as a more efficient metabolism.

Manifested flowers in the mail!

Okay, a while back I was reading a book on manifesting and I decided to play. I visualized getting flowers sent to me in the mail. I saw them on the kitchen table and felt what it would FEEL like to have received them. All of 5 minutes. About a week later, there was a box from FTD on my porch! I knew they were my flowers!...! But, to my dismay the name on the package was for someone else. So, I called FTD and they actually apologized for their "mistake" and told me to keep them!

Then...Last week I was reading a book and in it the author said that she tells her girls who work for her to envision getting flowers sent to them and it always works! Awesome synchronicity. I have tons of these stories.

Focus on what you want. Try it with something small like a cup of coffee or flowers! Imagine what it would FEEL like to have it. That is the key. Good Luck...come back and share!

Manifested my way out of court in 15 min!

Okay, I was summoned to appear at the Compton County Court House in Los Angeles last week. BOO. After surfing the internet and sitting in the same room for 6 HOURS...it dawned on me. I had been surfing the fourms of the Matrixenergetics.com website-which is an alternative healing modality that uses the laws of quantum physics to manipulate reality. (I have taken up to level 3) I was reading the forum of people talking about all this cool stuff they did to change their current reality-when it hit me. Why don't I just matrix myself out of here! I looked at the clock and it was 2:01pm. I did a quick visualization seeing myself leaving the building at 2:15 with a 'Yippie', 'woohoo' attitude. Then I placed the visualization in a blue bubble and sent it up to Source, God, All that is, what ever you want to call it. Bam. I forgot about it and let it go.

Five minutes later I heard an announcement on the speaker: "thank you all for your service, but we have fulfilled our need for jury and you are all free to go. However, we will need to do a roll call and you must turn in your badge." After all was said and done, down the elevator I went and out the doors at exactly 2:15! Yippie!
