Remember me telling you about this new health regime I'm on? No? Well, this came to me through Guav's Mother In Law, Venus. A lovely lady as ever was. it is a common practice in Japan.
Okaysies. SO what you do, is drink four, 8 oz. glasses of water immediately upon waking in the morning, before even brushing your toofies, and definitely prior to that first cup of java, or your morning bagel with shmear. Wait 45 minutes, and proceed as normal.
The affect of this is to flush the toxins out of your system, that have accumulated and broken down while you slept. The result is that you will experience additional trips to the bathroom throughout the morning. When I first began this, I was literally running to the bathroom every half hour until 1 P.M. Like clockwork. Now, a couple of weeks into this regime, I am running less often. My body has apparently adjusted. I still like to be in easy access to the facilities, however. Cause you never know! If I know I'm going out in the morning, I only drink two cups before eating, and wait a half hour before breakfast.
Positive results are supposed to be evident after 30 days. Will keep you posted.
Last week, I was riding in the car with Annette, and I looked down and noticed that my belly was mounded right out, like a seventh month of pregnancy belly. I felt like a mutant camel, with its hump on its front, instead of its back! This week, that unattractive feature is gone.
Accomplished so far this morning:
Scythed the grassy area inside my container garden area.
Watered the plants.
Made a doctor's appointment, and arranged transportation for same.
Cycled for several minutes on my excercycle.
Began crocheting a shawl from yarn I already had ( an aside, for You Know Whom)
Aaand....have written out and posted all my bills for this month, already. Go me!
See, Sonshine....I'm really trying very consciously to be responsible. Do you remember the other half of that informal bargain? *snickers, and runs for cover*
