More Progress, But Some Derailment

Today was a day of more progress.  I had hoped to complete more work on my business, but my laptop has a virus or something that makes it shut down unexpectedly.  I'm going to take it for a check up.  I have a guy at Staples who will look at it.  I am planning on doing that tomorrow though.  My folks are pretty religious and don't do business on Sundays.  I rely on them for rides because of my seizure disorder.

I did accomplish a few things.  I connected someone from BNI with someone in my network!  I started using some advanced features on LinkedIn.  I completed the powerpoint for my webinar on Wednesday.  This webinar has one person signed up for it.  I'm going to keep trying the webinars while I can't drive.  It may take me some time to get comfortable with them, but at least I'll feel like I'm reaching out to people and establishing credibility.

How's the health?  I didn't lose weight.  In fact, I gained a pound.  I've heard that your weight fluctuates throughout the day and to really see progress, you should weigh yourself once a week.  I also may already be at my ideal weight for their amount of physical activity that I'm doing.  I also stopped the low carb thing.  I did that for six months and went back to eating a wider variety of foods.  I missed fruits a lot.  I still had seizures on the modified atkins diet, so I reassessed what I was doing.  I'm optimistic about the Buteyko breathing exercises, but I can't promote them to other people unless I see results and the verdict is still out on that.  I have lots more energy.  Since I have increased my food consumption, it is great that my weight has gone down 3 pounds over the last six weeks, but I still notice that it creeps up a little, which could simply be a result of the increased carbs and holiday junk.

I haven't had any seizure activity today!  Yesterday, I had what seemed like an aura and I did the BreathSlim exercise for five minutes and it seemed like it went away.  It scared me, but the breathing exercises seemed to help quickly, so maybe my epilepsy is related to decreased oxygen in the brain and blood.  I'm hoping that increasing the oxygen in my body corrects my health issues.  The diets were a lot of work for not many results, and in some cases no results.
