Calories in = Calories Out - Not Necessarily

It's a popular belief that with exercise, calories in = calories out, so it's just a matter of burning enough calories to lose weight.  On the surface, this makes sense.  However, over the past month, I've been jogging about 4 hours a week on average, and the stubborn last bit of weight I was trying to skim off stuck around, and I even gained a couple pounds! 

My finding from negative results when jogging so much is that different intensities of exercise have different metabolic effects.  It's probably not a matter of how many calories someone burns off and consumes in a day, but how the body is activated to process the calories.  With jogging, my body wasn't being pushed enough, and probably went into 'storage mode.'  This is why I've stopped jogging and have decided to do a combination of boxing in place on a mat and intervals of jumping jacks for 30 minutes.  The boxing/jumping jacks is more intense, and the first time I did this, I was so sore I had to wait 3 days to heal before repeating!  My shirt was also wet with sweat.  When jogging, it took nearly an hour to get any sweat on my shirt, compared to 30 minutes with boxing/jumping jacks.

There are those who say that sprinting for short intervals, resting for less than a minute, then repeating a few times is superior to what's known as 'steady state' (jogging).  There is the more popular HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), and there is LISS (Low Intensity Steady State) among exercisers and athletes.  I tried HIIT in the past, but fans of this always say to push your body as hard as you can, which could be unhealthy.  The last time I did HIIT, I would get heart palpitations, which is no fun at all!  This may have been because I was combining LISS with HIIT to try to get the benefits of both, which was probably pushing my body too hard.  My finding is that LISS isn't enough, and HIIT is too much.  The boxing/jumping jacks is definitely more intense than LISS, but doesn't make me feel like I'm about to 'kill over,' as is often the case with HIIT.  I feel invigorated with the boxing/jumping jacks, and it's a whole-body workout, giving both my upper and lower body some very high quality action.

It will be interesting to see what happens with my new form of exercise.  I'm only wanting to lose another 10 pounds to get rid of that 'dad bod' thing I've got going.  It's not a super big deal, but I wasn't feeling very good with the jogging anyway, being tired all the time and having a very annoying tingling in my feet/lower legs in the morning, which is a sign of high blood sugar.  I was amazed that I would still have this issue when jogging so much.  

I'm happy to try something new!

Owning Our Own Power And Joining The Galactic Family

Image
Some may think that supporting the meditation and petition is just giving up our own power and relying only on Ets to save us.  This is not the case.  We can stand up for ourselves and stand on our own two feet and work with First Contact at the same time.  These two aspects don't have to be in opposition.  I don't see the surface population as being helpless without Ets, and the surface population should never be in the position of being helpless without Ets.  No one is helpless.  It's entirely possible for the surface population to own their own power and join the Galactic Family at the same time.   I'm noticing two opposite polarities: 1. "We don't need positive Ets for anything." 2. "We are nothing without positive Ets." The middle ground is to know the following: We need positive Ets for assistance with certain matters that are beyond our control, such as stopping high tech weaponry being used against us, but we can still stand in our own p...

My Experience of the Latest Solar/Geomagnetic Storm, and an Opportunity

Image
The latest solar/geomagnetic storm was the strongest I've seen since I started monitoring the Planetary K index several years ago: With previous solar/geomagnetic storms, I was more unbalanced.  However, overall, this latest one was enjoyable.  When the graph maxed out, I experienced harmony, heightened awareness, and vigor.  Perhaps also, the planet is now much more ready for the massive solar/geomagnetic storm that will take place during the Event. ------- Covid has been in my 'hologram' lately.  This is probably because the WHO is having a meeting toward the end of this month for their 'pandemic agreement.'  I embrace this as an opportunity to help educate others on the failure of the vaccines, and easy ways to drastically strengthen the immune system.  The supplement N-acetylcysteine is one such example.   I'll keep it simple this time and state the obvious:  The covid vaccines and boosters have been ineffective.  There were, and ar...

Enjoy the Clearing! (Updated on 09/15)

Image
Lately, I've experienced improvement when accessing the White Fire of An. It was stated by Cobra that the White Fire of An helps clear subquantum anomaly.  I can't really find any good images of a white flame online except for this one:     One can visualize this, and/or intend the White Fire of An to be invoked and present, if one feels guided.   Make it as bright as can be! Update on 09/15: Cobra's latest: "You can help clearing the subquantum anomaly most effectively with the violet flame:" https://www.welovemassmeditation.com/2022/09/violet-flame-meditation.html   Source: http://2012portal.blogspot.com/2023/09/situation-update-and-thailand-ascension.html Both the Violet Flame and White Fire of An can be used to help clear subquantum anomaly, which definitely resonates. Interesting to note:  Outages have not happened before with my current internet, but there was an outage today that lasted a few hours during much of these updates:   Very int...
