If you really want to know if your workouts are working for you, its time to start documenting your progress. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Buy a Tanita scale or other scale that determines body fat percentage. You don’t want to get mad at yourself for gaining muscle and you don’t want to praise yourself for losing muscle! Find out if you are truly losing fat and gaining muscle.
2. Take your picture! A picture is worth a thousand words. Get into a bathing suit and take several, full body pics: Forward, side, and back. You don’t have share these pictures but it really helps to accurately determine if you are shaping up.
3. Journal. If you really want to see results, this is a great tracking option. Track your workouts: What you did and for how long.
Track your food: What time did you eat, what did you eat, and how much.

These three simple suggestions will jump start your progress. If you would like additional tracking, I am available to help you. At Angie’s World, we use a BIA machine to assess your hydration, vitamin, protein, and essential fat needs. It also determines how many calories you are burning and whether or not you are toxic. In addition to the BIA, we have a Biomeridian machine (both machines are non-invasive, no needles!). The Biomeridian determines how your organs and tissues are doing – are you holding stress in your liver? Do you have a stomach parasite? There are many reasons why your body isn’t losing body fat. Allow us to be your detective to help find the root cause of your ailments.
In addition to these two great machines, I also perform structural assessments. I use a plumb line to analyze your posture. I also use inclinometers, which are tools that tell me if your hips and ribs are in their proper positions as well as if your cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine are in their proper curvatures.
Whatever you decide to do, tracking is essential to ensure your body is improving.

Well it’s been one week of using the Alkapower water (www.alkapower.com) and I
am thrilled with the results so far.Using our BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance
Analysis) device, we have confirmed positive results. Angie lost 1.8
pounds, had a 1/2 % improvement in overall hydration and 1/3% reduction in toxic
burden. I had improvements in my hydration, weight and body fat. I have lost 3
pounds, 1.8 lbs of that being fat and the rest is extracellular water (which is
wonderful, since this is a sign of toxins leaving the body). I have also had my
BMI reduced and an increase in my cellular health. I kept
my eating and exercise routine the same, drank 2-3 bottles of the 33 oz
Alkapower for for the first 3 days and then 1, 33 oz bottle on the subsequence
days. I know one thing for sure. I am going to keep it up and see if the numbers
keep improving because we know that the more alkaline a body is the leaner and
healthier it will be. If you are interested in a BIA test for yourself so you
can see how your health is doing just call the office for an appointment! Check
back for updates…
