Well, here I am at the end of day two of my "body cleanse" or whatever you want to call it. Right now I think I will just call it uncomfortable. Hear my warning now dear reader. This post will involve bodily sounds and obnoxious words, something some people like to call "to much information"
Since I wrote yesterday before I actually drank anything I will start then. I take my first drink and wonder how in the world I am going to drink this for 7 days straight. it tastes like unsweetened prune juice. The only other time I ever forced myself to eat prunes was when I was pregnant and so constipated I thought I would explode. (In more ways than one.)
But I drank it anyway. Maybe a little too fast, but I wanted to be done with the 32 oz I needed to drink a day. I was eating my lunch when I was getting through the last of the drink, probably not the best lunch, but it was lunch. Warmed up steak from the other night, brussel sprouts and a piece of easter cake.
Oh-man was I full. Completely and utterly full, I could feel my stomach stretching to a new size. Once lunch was eaten I could feel it. My intestines rumbling and grumbling, bubbles and food moving through at a fast pace. I could actually hear it outside of my body as whatever it was made it through my intestines.
2 seconds later I was running to the bathroom. That was pretty much my afternoon, in about 15 minute intervals. I don't think I have ever gone to the bathroom that much in my life, but I guess if I was going to "cleanse" my body, this is what I was to expect?
I talked to my mom and she asked if I had been drinking enough water after I finished the cleanse drink. Hmmm, no not really. Duh...
Today I doubled my water, which in fact makes the drink taste way better. I have been able to drink it throughout the day rather than wanting to drink it fast and get it over with.
Of course all that water is making me so full that when I eat I get even more full which leads to indigestion!! Should I be eating cake while I am trying to "cleanse"?
Maybe I am missing the whole cleanse point. Why do we do this to ourselves? We are just going to go back to eating horrible and eat more than we need anyway.
Okay. I have survived day two with only a few bathroom trips, nothing even remotely close to yesterdays experience. Now, day three will be me trying to eat better.
Excuse me, I must use the restroom...
