...what goes in must come out...


...well here I am, fat and sassy. Yes, I've gained a couple of pounds back and that's rather depressing. But, I walked 3 days last week for quite a few miles each day so at least I'm getting some exercise. Each of those days had me at the bottom of a gazillion stairs as you know San Francisco has plenty of those! So, I did get some cardio out of the deal! Plus our usually cold and foggy summer has turned out to be sunny and warm so the walks have been quite picturesque and beautiful. I also wanted to comment on something my doctor recommended...psyllium husk. It is pure natural fiber. I haven't tried it yet, it's been sitting on my counter for two weeks. After reading up on it, it kinda scares me, but I think I'm just being chicken (ahem)...it swells when taken so you have to drink ALOT of water before and after. But, it will cleanse the whole colon. The doctor said pointing to my pouch, 'that little puffy area there will go away completely after taking it'. Hmmmmm I certainly like that idea, and cleansing the ol colon. Some more good factors of taking this stuff are:
-aids in weight loss <--yippeee
-maintains healthy cholesterol & blood pressure levels
-treats yeast infections and hemorrhoids
-pushes out mucoid plaque <---totally gross..look it up.
Problem is, I'm afraid this stuff will get stuck in my throat. Sounds stupid, but someone reviewed it saying their husband poured it down the sink and it clogged.
I will take it, and I will review it for you, just not tonight. I'm not (ahem) ready.
