Cleanse days 2 & 3 March 28, 2008

Filed under: Colon Cleanse, anxiety — londonjulz @ 2:42 pm

Yesterday I had an anxiety attack that was fairly constant from mid-afternoon until I went to bed last night.  I woke up this morning and guess who had arrived overnight…. that’s right.  TOM…. 10 days late!!!!!!

Today is day 3 of the cleanse.  I’ve noticed that I have been pooing more.  *yummy I know* My poo isn’t runny or anything, but it’s certainly a lot more loose than norma.  That’s right… you go body…clean out those toxins!!!  Bad week for doing a cleanse when TOM is here though.  I want to eat anything sweet that I can get my hands on.  I know I’m supposed to be eating REALLY clean while on the cleanse - so bananas and apples have to be my friend.  :D 

The first 3 days of the cleanse, I’m supposed to take 1 pill in the AM (on an empty stomach) and 1 pill in the PM (on an empty stomach).  Starting day 4 (which is tomorrow), I take 2 pills of a morning and 2 pills at night.  Upping the anty, I guess.  Can’t wait to see what results THAT yields. 

That’s all for now.  Glad that TOM showed up (I’m chalking it up to increased intensity in the workouts) . 

Til tomorrow

Internal cleanse / day 1 done March 27, 2008

Filed under: Colon Cleanse, anxiety — londonjulz @ 10:23 am

I started the internal cleanse yesterday.  So far, I don’t feel any different though I have had 2 BM’s this morning already (I normally have 2/day if I’m lucky!).  I feel just the slightest bit dizzy right now though - I don’t know if I’d even call it dizzy… perhaps my more like my brain feels really fuzzy / a little bit lightheaded.  Don’t know if it’s the cleanse, or the fact that I have yet to start my period.  I’ve read that it could be from the cleanse because the toxins are making their way into the bloodstream…. about my period…I’m not pregnant… took 4 tests…lol.  I’m over a week late though - this has never happened in my lifetime.  My trainer seems to think it could be because of the intense amount of working out we’ve been doing the past month.  Couple that with any stress from the past month…it’d be enough to throw someones hormones/cycles off.  I’d still like to go to a doctor, though….and just rule out anything else that may be happening.  Me and my hypochonidriac self… I’d diagnose myself with testicular cancer if they’d let me.  haha!  :D 

 We get to go down to my parents this weekend.  I’m excited.  My brothers and their wives and kids will be there. Along with my aunt, a couple cousins and more kids.  Plan to have a big BBQ / Easter Egg hunt…. yay!!!!  I love going to my parents.  It’s like a mini-vacay away from the crazies here. :D

 That’s all for now.  I’ll write more later.

Okay, update time for reals…. March 20, 2008

Filed under: Colon Cleanse, Life — londonjulz @ 5:39 pm

Okay, so I have a little time and thought I would use it to do an update.

 I would dive into an in depth update, but because of the simple fact that some of my family (and friends) can just happen to stumble upon this blog accidentally - I shall save those things until more concrete plans develop (how’s that for a teaser! :D)

I am still stuck in the 190’s.  Been here since November.  I have however lost 4% of my body fat since January.  So as long as THAT number keeps going down, I’ll be a happy camper - it just means I’m building a lot of muscle.  Yeah, that’s right… don’t mess with me… grrrrrr….

The hubby and I bought a Colon Cleanse to try out.  We’ve wanted to try one for quite sometime.  So, I’ll be starting it in the morning.  It requires me to take 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills at night.  Should be easy enough.  It lasts for 2 weeks.  Can’t wait to see what kind of crap comes out of my body (literally and figuratively).  I’m going to try to keep a daily journal on here about it. (HA) On top of cleaning out the colon, this cleanse also helps to clean out your liver, lungs, lymphatic system, kidneys, skin and blood.  Should be fun!

School is going great.  Just took mid-terms.  I still have a lot more to go though.  At least another year.  But it’ll be worth it to get that degree.  I actually want to get my Bachelors Degree in Business also - so it’ll be more like 3 - 3 1/2 years.  I always joked that I’d be 40 before I got my degree….. well, I’ll be at least 31 before I get my Bachelors.  Better late than never, huh?

I guess that’s it for now.  There are more exciting things to talk about, but I’ll get to that once we know for sure what’s happening.

There’s the update for now.  I’m gonna post this sucker before my computer decides to eat it again. :D
