21 Pounds in 21 Days

Woke up hungry but not starving, although I felt a little light headed. The scales say I lost another 2 pounds, so down 5 pounds, that’s probably why I’m lightheaded, peeing it all out. Yesterday I missed two of the drinks so that’s probably the real reason I’m light headed, not enough calories. So today I will get back on schedule with the drinks. I’m also experiencing some nauseasness after I drank my breakfast. It actually was a bit uncomfortable for a while and I had to lay down. Hope that doesn’t continue.

Well I just got back from my colon hydrotherapy treatment (recommended in the 21 Pounds in 21 Days book)– it was nothing at all. I was so surprised. The dentist office is 100 times worse. There is so much privacy, only about 60 seconds of inserting the little tube (it’s really small) and then you are completely covered up for the rest of the treatment. I actually felt hydrated when I was finished, there’s a bit of a cooling feeling inside the stomach area that does feel nice. The water that flows into you is a little stream for a few seconds and then there is a release – you actually don’t do anything the machine does it all. I was told that this treatment only does a little of your colon at a time and it can take up to 6 weeks to finish the entire large intestine. I decided it’s something I want to do since colon cancer is on both sides of my family. There is absolutely no pain at all, not even any cramps – so I guess you can say I’m a believer. The hydrotherapist told me that football players get this done, okay if they can do it anybody can. The other great thing about my treatment was that the hydrotherapist is actually on this same diet plan. She doesn’t look like she needs to lose any weight, but she said she wanted to do the detox. She has been on it for 14 days and she says she really is feeling the effects of feeling better and has decided to make this a lifestyle change. She said she tweaked it for her and actually eats watermelon and all because it’s mostly juice. She gave me some good advice about the liver cleanse. Take a lemon, clean the skin well, take out the seeds, put it in a blender with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 cup of water and a little of the stevia to sweeten it up. She indicated that the lymph drainage massage isn’t necessary if you make sure and use the brush to rub your dry skin before you shower. She said this works great. And she said if you don’t get a rebounder then bouncing up and down on your bed actually will do the trick, although I don’t believe this would be very good for the mattress. I’m not getting a rebounder, don’t like that jerky feeling that goes on with your brain when you’re bouncing around like that. One thing I mentioned to her was the one side effect from the diet that I’m having is being nauseas in the morning for about 1 hour. She said it’s from drinking the liquids after you have slept all night, the liquids move the toxins around and that’s what makes a person feel sick to their stomach. Well it does make since, so hopefully that gets better as the diet goes on. Didn’t walk today but will get back on schedule tomorrow. Was really hungry about 9:00 tonight, so I drank some fruit juice and that really did satisfy my hunger.  Another day down, Kate
