It was freezing as I walked through the lobby to visit Better Body Solutions on 44th Street between 5th and Madison in Manhattan. Luckily, it is conveniently located right near Grand Central Station, so I didn’t have to walk too far.
Unlike many medical waiting rooms, this one is warm and inviting, with a large basket of fruit and lots of bottles of water, and “world” music softly filling the air. I could see curling up in one of the comfortable chairs with a book, and spending an hour. But Pamela, my technician yesterday, was prompt.
As she adjusted the arms of the zerona laser, she told me that she has watched many people get great results. It must be nice to come to work each day knowing that you are making people look and feel better! When I first started researching the zerona laser last Spring, there was very little on the internet about it. Today, there are a lot more people who have tried this, all over the country. But still, few complaints!
It is so easy to handle the zerona laser treatments. All I have to do is lie on a table for 4o minutes or so, listening to my iPod. I have been catching up on podcasts that I haven’t had time for. I admit to following the official “Lost” podcast, and the one for Greys anatomy. In general, I like them because I’m a writer and in these podcats, it is the writers who are the “stars.” They explain the plots and the reasons why they wrote certain dialogue and situations for specific actors. It’s very entertaining. I also like The Moth podcast, and This American Life.
All of this sounds pleasant and effortless, but what isn’t effortless for me is the nutritional activities surrounding the zerona laser treatments. For starters, I’m taking half a dozen, large herbal supplements several times a day. They’re unpleasant to swallow, and I have to remember to carry them around with me if I’m not home. And I am drinking a lot more water than usual, to flush out my system as the laser is working to create temporary pores in my fat cells from which fat, literally “seeps,” to be carried away by my lymphatic system. I am supposed to avoid caffeine, soda, carbs and so forth. I am still drinking coffee (sorry Dr. Ungaro, but I’m non-functional without it, and tea makes me queasy in the morning). It’s the avoidance of too many carbs that are the killer. There are only so many eggs to eat for protein in the morning, and I’m not the type to fuss, anyway. I never realized how many sandwiches I eat for lunch either. I’m finding it hard to be creative with food. It isn’t that my diet is normally unhealthy, but I’m not the type to fuss with food creation. I would rather slap some chicken between two slices of multi-grain bread, than to have to figure out what else besides salad, constitutes a meal.
Maybe I’m just wishing it to be true, but I actually feel like my stomach is a bit tighter and less “puffy.” It’s only the day after the second treatment. I have four more to go, but I’m hoping that by the time fashion week starts, I’ll be looking better.
Stay tuned for more.
