Day 2

Before I start on day 2, I would just like to inform you that about an hour before my day 2 cleanse, I had a bowel movement and a black, tarry stool was released. I also released three other stools after that. Those were normal. It was the first black stool I ever released. I'm wondering if that was the cause of much of my abdomen issues. Mary, who is the colon hydrotherapist, told me to keep an eye on it over the next few days.

Day 2 was a little easier than day 1 because I knew what to expect. Everyday we listen to an audio that helps us to remove the "mental crap" as well as the physical crap. Our focus was on trust, especially with the women in our lives, whether it be our significant others, our mothers, sisters or whomever.

Physically, my body seemed to be releasing a little more than on day 1. After the two hours on the hydrotherapy machine, she puts a bottle of probiotics inside so that we can absorb some of it inside the colon. On day 1, my body sucked it up. On day 2, however, not so much. We ate a good meal and then went home. Most people get exhausted after the cleanse so I called it a night at about 10 pm.

THE MORNING AFTER

Next morning, I woke up feeling great! Refreshed, energized and ready to go. I hopped on the scale and weighed in at 191.6 which was about a pound less than the day before. After a big chug of water and some breakfast (oatmeal and flax seed with a smoothie), my body soaked it right up and I weighed in at 195.0.

Had a small bowel movement right before breakfast. Stool color was normal.

I am starting to feel a little bit of a difference in the left side of my abdomen. It feels really light and loose. I guess I never noticed how tight it was because I was so used to the tightness. But it's feeling a lot looser today.

The biggest difference was the energy I felt when I woke up.

All the people who have done it before me told me that I'm going to start feeling the benefits after day 4. If I'm already feeling a difference now, then I'm definitely looking forward to day 4.

Until next time.

Aloha!
