Re: Skinny little ankles!!!

Wow, I'm impressed, girlfriend, especially about the 32 in waist! That's

wonderful!! And you've been doing mostly what I call the core work, right? I'm

talking about the breathing and ab holds . . .

Skinny little ankles!!!

Hi Rashelle and Everyone,

Guess what!!! I have such skinny little ankles now, after only 6 months

of Life Lift breathing!!! My ankles are so beautiful and so dainty that

you wouldn't believe it!!! They are 8 inches around, the same as my

wrists!!! So, I have 8 inch ankles, 8 inch wrists, and a 32 inch

waist!!! I am really getting much smaller, much more dainty, and much

more beautiful as each day on Life Lift passes!!! Isn't that

wonderful!!! What do you all have to say to me about that???? Please

speak!!!!!!

Love always,

Pat

I have only been doing the LL breathing, Melinda, WITHOUT the ab

holds!!! ONLY the breathing!!! And not only did I lose all those

inches (My waist was 41 inches around when I started Life Lift last

February, so I have lost 10 inches in my waist since I started Life

Lift), but I lost over 20 lbs. besides, and all with ONLY just the

breathing and no ab holds at all!!!! Now, as my Mom used to say: " What

do you think about them little apples? "

Love always,

Pat

I might start doing the ab holds, though!! The reason that I have not

been doing those is because the cortisone poisoning I had decades ago so

weakened my ab muscles that it hurts me to do the holds. However, maybe

now that I have lost so much weight, both in inches and pounds by now, I

will be able to do the ab holds with less pain than they caused me

before!!! We will see!!! Does it hurt YOU to do the ab holds?????

Love always,

Pat

I can feel it, but it doesn't hurt. I'm still working to get rid of excess

weight, but in spite of that, I can see abdominal contouring, including the line

that runs down the middle. Plus, like I've mentioned before, I'm the only

homeschool mom taking our karate class who can do the exercise sensei has us do

- - lying on the floor with our feet about 6 inches off the floor, keeping the

small of the back pressed in, and moving the legs in and out. I think I'm the

only mother able to do it because I've trained my abs with LL.

Well, then I will do it, too< Melinda. Maybe saying that it HURTS me to

do the ab holds is too strong a phraseology!!!! Maybe what I really

meant is that I FEEL THEM STRONGLY!!! So, let's see what Rashelle has

to tell me, and meanwhile, I will try to do the ab holds, too!!!

By the way, you use the word " Sensei " , while speaking of Katate. Is

that a reference to your teacher? The developer of Reiki, Dr. Mikao

Usui was called " Sensei " by his students and followers, so that is what

strikes me when I see that word as you use it!!! Dr. Usui has been the

only person I have ever seen referred to as Sensei until now, and I have

been a Reiki Master since 1997, so that is more than 9 years already!!!

What a STRANGE coincidence, at least to me!!!

Love always,

Pat

Maybe you could just think *slow and gentle* . . . I know I work harder the

stronger I get - - I didn't start out this way.

Yes, sensei is the word used for teacher in karate. Our teacher is actually

called a shihan because she has a higher degree of training than most. She's

actually one of only a few in the United States in our form of karate, from what

I understand.

I actually think many of the toning exercises we do seem more effective when

they're performed slowly and gently. I know that's controversial among those

studying it, but for me, it seems more effective.

I'll sure pass that along, Pat. She is a sweet little old lady that you sure

wouldn't want to mess with! She's awesome - - looks like someone's little

grandmother who'd be baking cookies or knitting an afghan, but she's awesome

when she demonstrates her skills to the kids in the homeschool group. We've

seen her throw (without hurting them, of course) some of the teenage boys who've

been taking from her for almost 2 years now. (And those boys placed 1st and 2nd

in national competitions recently). She did start her karate until she was 40.

She's truly an inspiration. I believe LL has prepared me for taking the

classes. I can see so much strength and flexibility that I didn't know I had.

Love,

Melinda )

Now that I understand!!! Thanks a lot, Melinda. I am so happy about

the wonderful success I am having with Life Lift breathing!! I really

and truly never thought that losing weight in both pounds and inches

would be so very easy for me, or, in fact, would happen at all!!! I

can't tell you how happy I am!!!!

Hi Melinda,

Thanks so much for promising to give her my message!!! She does sound

like a great lady, but VERY powerful physically!!! I will make sure

that I never offend her when she is angry, or even when she is not

angry!!! I don't think I would like to cross her path when she is

having a temper tantrum!!!!! As I said more power to her!!!! And I

really don't see how she, or anyone else for that matter, could stay

angry at me for very long, as I am so very, very, very sweet!!! And the

best thing of all is that although I am so very, very, very sweet, I am

totally non caloric!!!

Love always,

Pat
