For all my Kindred Spirits and belly poochers...

[Guest guest]

I posted this on the moreoxygen egroup this morning! I was excited to

share. I wanted to be sure all read it, incase others on the LL

egroup

aren't on the moreoxygen. Anyway, I hope it reaches everyone and

helps. Karma asked to post " What Works for You " and I was doing the

happy dance having something to share saying, " Funny you should ask "

as I have had quick results in a day! Read on...

Hi!

Its interesting you should ask what's working when I wanted so very

much to post my discovery. I hope it helps others. First of all, I

have to THANK " BJ " very much for the " two cents " worth of good

information the other day. It helped me immensely. This has to do

with those of us having the " belly pooch " ...I think I discovered why!

I was doing LifeLift faithfully and reducing. Then, all of a sudden,

I began to have that " pooch " coming back. Freaked me out! NOT AGAIN!

Thank God, I did not have to wait too long to get answered, having

signed up for the " Moreoxygen " eGroups and reading some posts that

helped me a lot! Thank you ALL!

In the words of " MY FAIR LADY " ...I think she (finally) GOT IT!

In the last 2 days, I have made a concentrated

effort to be sure and breath out all the air on my exhale.

Breathing in the air deeply, so I feel my stomach raising, not my

lungs.

BJ pointed out in the email the other day, " I've discovered that if I

direct inhaled air along the top of my throat instead of straight up

into the nostrils, my lower abs naturally expand without any

concentration on my part. In other words, I'm breathing through my

nose with mouth closed, but forget the nose and concentrate on

sending the air along top of throat. "

Breathing this way helped me immensely to " automatically " fill up my

stomach. On expelling it, my abs and stomach pull back " in " for the

Pahhhhhhh and I get a great work out. A light went on in my head and

I once read in a book about breathing and I know this is redundant as

I have mentioned it here before, " If you want to know how to breath

correctly watch a baby. Their stomachs rise, not their lungs. "

Well, I did LL yesterday making sure I breathed as BJ suggested and

automatically the stomach raises on the inhale and pulls in on the

Pahhhhhhhh. I also did another routine of LL that evening. This

morning I felt lighter again, I measured myself since I had been

staying steady (it didn't bother me, I knew I was eating a bit more

sweets...expecting increase of inches with Birthdays and having

my cake and eat it too basically). You understand. Well, to my happy

dance this morning, I measured myself and to my SURPRISE my lower abs

are reduced again (no pooch!) and guess what, I dropped an inch from

my abs, hips and my legs! (all my problem areas!) Well, that proves

it...the pooch must be acquired from " improper breathing " ...allowing

our lungs to compensate and fill up, rather than our stomachs.

Hope this helps everyone! I'm thrilled to get the results I have so

fast! Have a great day! I surely am feeling " answered " about the

belly bulge! Wishing all of you the very best in success! Keep up the

good work and keep on breathing! Tij

PS/I felt my " glow " (sweat)again since breathing like this...its

great! I felt a rush! I must have started out right and got lazy,

or something, maybe not concentrating on my breaths and then

developed that pooch coming back. I think that's how it happened.

Also, I must add, I got on the scale (not my favor thing to do) and

to

my amazement, dropped 3 lbs! :0 So, for my kindred spirits, A

and

and all the rest, give it a try and see what results happen for

you. Keep us posted. Pooch is gone again and I am feeling " slim " . JOY

to the world! Hope this helps one and ALL! Warmly, Tij!
