Week 2
Sunday, November 16, 2008 at 3:06PM DAY NINE - Saturday, November 15, 2008
Not much news to report today.
Drank my three colon cleanse powder drinks. I did forget to take my Cleanse Support since we had our dinner club at the neighbor's home. Forgot to bring them with me. Oops!
DAY TEN - Sunday, November 16, 2008
Very relaxing day today. Had my colon cleanse powder drinks, remembered to take my cleanse support.
Didn't have a BM all day today and getting a little concerned that I don't seem to be going as regularly as I had before starting this colon cleanse diet. Not going to worry about that right now.
Sundays are a pretty lazy day around my home. So because of that I'd like to share something funny with you. I love the e-Trade commercials with the little baby. If you enjoy them as well or haven't seen one...I invite you to watch a couple below....
DAY ELEVEN - Monday, November 17, 2008
Dropped my sons off at high school, sat down at my desk to fire up the computer and realized, "Yeah, gotta go to the bathroom!"
Okay, if you have read any of the reviews on Dr. Floras website, you will know that many say that sometimes what is coming out of our bodies has a really bad odor?! That's not giving you the TRUE meaning! All I can say is have your matches, Glade, whatever, ready!! Holy, Moly!! There are no words to describe the smell. I think this must be the deep crevices of my intestinal tract coming forth!!! Even my dogs stayed clear!!
But afterwards, I felt about 5 pounds lighter! Phew! A definite relief! Not that I was uncomfortable but it really felt good when I walked out of the bathroom.
Since I had oatmeal for breakfast first thing upon awakening, I need to wait an hour before having my first colon cleanse powder in the apple juice. Apple juice, by the way, has become my favorite method for doing this colon cleanse detox.
DAY TWELVE - Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Woke up at 3:45 a.m. wondering what it was that woke me up so early! Then I realized it was my lower intestines talking to me. Oh MY! I had to roll over onto my stomach so the noise wouldn't wake my husband up. But I started giggling because it was the strangest sounds coming from my own body. No gas, nothing hurt, just things were happening.
After getting up at 6:30 and taking boys to school, I came home and had my usual breakfast of coffee and oatmeal. Like clockwork, was in the bathroom 30 minutes later.
WOW! I have to say, since beginning this colon cleanse detox there has been nothing major or extraordinary happening in the bathroom. This morning, that all changed! As I said, I won't take my own colon cleanse photos since there are plenty out there on DrFloras website or here on my blog to view. What I can tell you is that after I went to the bathroom, I felt like I had dropped 10 pounds and I'm not full of (well you know!) I felt great!! That must have been why I had all the noise.
Played on my Wii Fit today, which I try to do 3-5 times a week. For those of you not familiar with Wii Fit, it comes with a balance board that keeps track of your weight, BMI, and tracks your fitness. Well, when I got on it today, I have lost 4 pounds since I started!! YEAH!!! Now that's probably 4 pounds of you-know-what but that's why I'm doing this colon cleanse diet!
Had my other two colon cleanse powder drinks throughout my day plus my cleanse support. Realized that I will be starting the Parasite Defense in a few days. The Parasite Defense is to rid my body of any intestinal parasites. You don't need to do a colon cleanse detox to take advantage of using the Parasite Defense. Click here to get your own bottle and get rid of your own little intestinal parasites!
How do intestinal parasites in humans get there? We pick them up from the foods we eat, the water we drink, the animals we touch, the parks, lakes and beaches we visit, and so on. Also, if you love to walk barefoot, as I do, the hookworm can penetrate the sole of the foot. Good News: hookworm is not spread by person to person.
I wasn't sure if I was going to do the Parasite Defense but then when I saw this video of a hookworm in the intestines, that was all I needed to change my mind. The thought of a little wormy thing in my system is just a little too yuck on the gross meter for me!!
Here is a short video below of a hookworm in the small intestine if you would like to take a look.
DAY THIRTEEN - Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Went through my usual routine today. Morning coffee, morning "library" visit. Hey, a girl has got to get some reading time in throughout her day!
Today was exciting because my oldest went to take his behind the wheel test to get his driver's license. He was nervous, I was excited! This picture was taken just before the examiner came out to run him through the driving test. He passed with flying colors!
Okay, let me clear up a couple of questions that I have gotten from a few of the readers of my blog. When it comes to drinking alcohol, Dr. Floras states that it's not a good thing to drink alcohol while you are doing a colon cleanse detox. I look at it this way, no doctor is going to tell you to go drink alcohol when you are trying to be healthy. Even any of the diets that I've done, they all say the same thing....Stay off the booze!
Let's face it...there is a lot of empty calories in alcohol. My attitude is anything in moderation is not going to kill you. So with that being said. We went out to dinner to celebrate our son getting his license and I had a couple glasses of white wine with dinner. This morning I was fine.
I know the other day that I had mentioned that wine and the colon cleanse powder drink didn't mix well the following day. That's true, but I also had a lot more than two glasses of wine. (I was having a great time with a girlfriend!!)
The other question I was asked is am I using this colon cleanse diet to lose weight?
No, my intention for doing the colon cleanse wasn't to lose weight but to start with a clean slate, inside and out! I have lost 4 pounds so far and I just view that as an added bonus! But I am eating healthier, smaller meals more frequently and I'm exercising. Lightly but I'm exercising!!
Please, If any of you reading and keeping up on my blog have any questions, I am more than happy to answer them!! I really would like for you to leave them as a comment so that when I answer them, they are posted for all to read. Chances are if you are asking the question, others out there have the same question on their mind.
DAY FOURTEEN - Thursday, November 20, 2008
Little to report today. Usual routine.
I am noticing more energy throughout my day which is awesome! I cleaned the whole house today and moved furniture. I was sore but not exhausted!
