I have no $ and no insurance. Unless I'm bleeding profusely, whatever ailments and bump and bruises I have will have to heal on their own. I've had a cold/flu/ear infection/? since Dec. The kids have medicaid so I can take them to the Doc whenever they need to go and that's all I really care about.


Hip,KK- If I weigh myself before and after I go potty I seem to gain weight. weird. :)

Oh, and here's a chart I figured i'd share, it is from the P90X program, but no matter what program you're doing.. this is extremely helpful.

First day on Ultimate Cleanse....no more Red Bull, no more anything of bad fat or bad carb. Cutting out red meat for honestly, most of the summer..unless I feel like my hemoglobin is dipping too far (I have some anemia issues). 4/20oz of water per day, 50 grams of fiber, shooting for 75g of protein...but won't worry too much about it until I'm lifting again. Going to the Y tomorrow to sign up...I miss lifting soooo bad.

Black coffee helps curb the appetite....one of my lose it tricks...hehe. I worked in natural foods for a couple years, then I worked in sports nutrition for 4, I used to be insanely in shape...luckily it doesn't take much to get back there for me. I blame it on growing, that's when I stopped lifting and eating right. I have 20 lbs to lose.....let's get it done:)

Honestly I havent tried it Trichy... maybe there are some reviews online? I dont use most of their products, simply because you can find alternatives that are much cheaper and offer the same exact ingredients. Like they sell some expensive ass recovery drink, but I just use whey protein isolate.. some people use chocolate milk for a recovery drink.

I would say the most important thing before you begin any program is to start eating healthy! That's an easy step, compared to the painnnnn you will feel, tee-hee-hee-hee.. :tiphat:

The only thing I take is a daily multi-vitamin, and half of a whey protein isolate shake w/ a hint of cocoa 30-40 minutes before workout, and then the other half immediately after working out.

Other than that I just try and eat as healthy as possible. Nutrition is just as important as the actual exercising.. :D

^^It works great.....cleanse out your system of toxins and allows better mental focus, more energy and nutrient uptake in the intestines. I really recommend that particular cleanse. Other than the last year and a half, it's something I've done 2x a year for about 7 years. I love it.

If you do try it, there are weird symptoms you'll have to deal with....toxins leave the body from all holes, not to be gross....but eyes...ears, everything. Makes you tired, may have a headache or slight cold symptoms...muscle aches and a decreased appetite too. Totally fucking worth it!!!!! For real....it's like being reborn if you're really toxic. Take a multivitamin during, have to drink tons of water and you'll need to replace some good bacteria in your system. I take a broad spectrum probiotic all the way through.

I bought some burdock root from a natural/health food store, and it is supposed to be a natural blood cleanser, cleans your body of toxins. It was a little expensive and great in tea, so if ya'll want something a little different...Oh and make sure that it is from a reputable source. Could make your tummy hurt if you don't get "clean" burdock.

if you're suffering from anemia, eat some bitter greens, as well as bittermelon. Now that stuff has a ton of iron in it. I really don't have a problem with anemia because I get irregular periods but this way you don't have to take iron supplements.

I think I'll make some burdock tea to drink for a week, and start cutting out all the junk/processed food.

Thanks Hippie....I used to take blackstrap molasses instead of eating meat. I was a veg. for almost 2 years. There used to be a licorice called "tire tread" that I can't find anymore....it was really high in iron too. Blackstrap could make some people vomit for sure.... :puke:

Trichy you ordered the Ulitimate Cleanse??? It tastes like fenugreek, black licorice and dirt. It's gross, but I get them down. Pill form right? Grab yourself some acidophilus and a multivitamin to make it easier on your system. I grabbed some metamucil sugar free orange psyllium husk fiber today....it tastes good mixed with juice or water....I just eat it...hahaha.

You can just eat Metamucil? Wow..lol Haven't tried that, though I have to admit I need my fiber.
Yeah my parents always had a garden growing that had at least ONE bitter vegetable. So I've gotten used to eating bitter greens.
Ya'll make me want to buy the ULtimate Cleanse, but I already got the root for that, and bills are coming up!!
