Walking

I'm kind of amazed at how good I feel right now. I went up Rubidoux with Jeff tonight and I had no knee problems at all. Plus, I went a little faster. I've been taking glucosamine for a couple weeks and I think it's made a difference. Also, today I bought some kelp and took it before the walk. I've been out of that for a while. A few years ago when I was feeling run down I started taking kelp and my energy bounced right back.

So, I don't know if it's because I'm over my cold or if it's the exercise or the supplements. It sure feels good to feel good.

What does kelp do?

Thyroid support. A few years ago when I was looking for help with weight loss I decided to try hypnosis. One hypnotherapist I interviewed said most of the people who come to him for weight loss have an underactive thyroid. He gave me a simple test to do. When you first wake up in the morning before you get out of bed you take your temperature. If it's below a certain range it could be an indicator of an underactive thyroid. Well, my morning temp was in the corpse range. He told me to get some liquid kelp and add a few drops to a glass of water and drink it. He swore it was flavorless but I didn't want to find out. I got some kelp capsules.

Hoo-boy, good stuff! I had been really struggling with my weight. It was the highest it has ever been. My energy was very low. I'd go to the gym and leave feeling wiped out. I wasn't making any progress with my fitness and it was driving me nuts. That's why I wanted to try hypnosis. I felt it was my last resort before seeking a gastric bypass.

Anyway, I felt much better after the first day of taking the kelp. It was amazing. I've had my thyroid tested since then and it's normal. The kelp may have affected the test so I'm not sure of the status of my thyroid. I asked my doctor about it and he said if it feels good, do it.

I went through 5 sessions of hypnosis and lost a bunch of weight. I loved it but it was pretty expensive. I wish I could afford to do hypnosis on a regular basis. I felt very peaceful and mellow during those five weeks.

I seem to remember that there is a photo of you in the Ramona yearbook participating in the hypnotist show. You looked pretty out of it to me. I also remember that the hypnotist said the only people who can't be hypnotized are retards.

Man, I could use a massage after today. Stacey and I worked on getting the sales shed ready for business on Friday. According to Dad, pretty much everything we were doing was wrong. We both tolerated it for most of the day but I eventually lost it and blew up at him.

I'm glad you are enjoying your vacation. I'm going have a hot bath and take a vacation in my mind.

The hypnotist was wrong, but the picture was true. I was hypnotized for an instant, but then my enormous brain rebelled and I've been immune since.

I'm Tim today on this computer, but it's me, legadillo.
