Dr. Floras Colon Cleanse

mark — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 16:53:39 +0000

I just finished yesterday with Dr. Floras Colon Cleanse. It was not that bad for 30 days. I thought the rough part was the first 15. It was hard to maintain the times of when and not to eat and to watch my diet. I feel tons better after. I think I get more sleep now and my fitness and health has improved much more. I feel that the foods that I am eating are helping and that I am really getting the nutrients out of the foods that I am eating now. My bowel movements are regular and I have been seeing them more often now. I don’t know if that is a good or bad thing. It doesn’t feel bad because it comes naturally rather than having a stomach ache and then having to rush to the restroom. I know a little bit more now that I can eat smaller meals. I was so worried on watching what I eat, but now its really portion control and how much you are eating rather than what you are eating. Fast food always seems to be the worst part of it but I think if you only have 1 or 2 of the small items then it will be ok. Soda seems to be the worse part because it adds so many more calories. I think for the most part I will probably do this again in a year and continue to do it.

Insanity Day 7 rest, progress and updates

mark — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 22:02:28 +0000

Well today is the day of rest. But I am not going to rest. I feel like the rest will make me a feel like I have to do something. I am going to run 9 miles. Its gonna be tough though. I haven’t run in a while. I might have to take it easy and not push myself to go this far. But my legs need to feel what the 9 miles feels like. I am about 3 weeks away from the AFC half marathon. I think if I don’t do this training and I get to the half unprepared then I will be in for a bad surprise.

The Insanity has been crazy. Everytime I do the workout I am scared a little but anxious to see what my mind and body can do. Last night I was keeping up with the folks in the video. They are a tough crowd. I think my motivation along with theirs helps to make the video better. I know that these people tried the workout before taping the actual video. They must have. I think most of them were at a point where they were comfortable in doing the workout and have progressed into the program. I know week 2 will be better.

I know my diet might need some changes. I was looking at the nutrition plan and I was thinking that I might need to increase my calorie content. The Harris-Benedict equation is 66 + (6.23 x weight in lbs) + (12.7 x height in inches) – (6.8 x age). My came out to be 66 + 1115.17 + 889 – 197.2 = 1872.97. This is basic metabolic rate or BMR for the day if I don’t do anything to maintain my weight. Depending on your activity level you take your BMR and multiply by one of these:
If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9

I turn out to be the moderately to very active person. So my intake should be 2903 – 3230 calories per day. If you want to lose weight then I should cut down 3500 calories per week. That would mean 500 calories per day. So I should be eating 2403 – 2730 calories per day. The last 6 days I have been eating close to 2000 calories per day. I think I am eating too little. What do you guys think? Am I right?

My colon cleanse has been good. I am on day 20. I am on the pills for probiotics and the parasite defense. I believe the two help my overall colon health and also improve my health with them. The probiotics help with immunity and keeping the health bacteria in my body. While the parasite defense kills all the parasites and eggs that are bad in the body.

Day 13 and counting

mark — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:08:07 +0000

Looks like things have been good in my colon cleanse. I haven’t had any more weird things happen along the way. I feel that I should have been a little better with what the recommended eating habits. I will be finishing the first half here in about 3 days and then move on to the next step. I think I have noticed that my sleeping has been better. I don’t feel so tired when I get up. I haven’t weighed myself either but should probably.

Insanity is coming in the mail this week. I am stoked but I really want to push it hard through this workout. I want results but I have to sacrifice. I keep telling myself and need to focus and stay away from all the negativity and the bad food. I also just go the first dvd of the second series of One on One with Tony Horton. It has an additional cd there that shows that anybody can workout called “Pay It Forward.” It shows a 400+ pound man working out with Tony. I think this is a good idea to show others that working out can be for anyone. You don’t have to be super fit to get into shape. You just need to push play everyday for some activity everyday. Everyone can’t do P90X but people can build up to do it.

Calisthenics, Day 7 of Colon cleanse and Insanity

mark — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 16:19:59 +0000

Yesterday I ran with the SDTC again and had my brother and AG join in on the fun. We did some calisthenics which made it tough. I think we were supposed to do 10 sets but I ended up with 9. It consisted of running a 1/4 mile then doing 25 jumping jacks, pushups or situps. Then after that we did 10 strides. Overall after all that was done, I felt exhausted. My brother and AG were super tired but I think they like it because they said it was tough. They also said it was tougher than Insanity. I don’t believe that at all.

I am on day 7 of my colon cleanse and it has been good. I have felt some weird stomach aches but nothing like having to run to the bathroom. I have had to maybe go like 2 times a day but it seems normal. The only thing is that it smells so bad, but I feel it is getting better. The drink itself that I have been taking doesn’t taste so good and it doesn’t mix well in water at all. Only 8 more days of the drink then I can just take the pills and the probiotics. I haven’t weighed myself either. I probably should have in the beginning.

Some good news is that Insanity is going to be available tomorrow for order. If anybody wants to order it let me know. I can get a good discount. I hear that it might be free express shipping. I will find out tomorrow!

Colon cleanse Day 4

mark — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:00:23 +0000

3 Days have passed through my colon cleanse and nothing crazy has been happening. The last 3 days have been normal and the first day I only experienced one long stool. I felt some weird cramping on Day 2 and I thought I had to go but didn’t and it just turned out to be just some gas that came out. My friend says that within the week I should see the weird looking alien stool that is shown on those websites but I feel fine and haven’t had anything weird happen. We will see as it goes on.

Colon cleanse, moving and a new start

mark — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:26:59 +0000

Wow did I say that? I must have because that is what I am going to be doing here pretty soon. I haven’t really looked at a lot of products but wanted to give this a try. The product I ended up getting is Dr Floras which I believe is one of the better ones out there. I haven’t tried one myself but they say its better the the Colonix product or so I have heard.

In other news, I will be moving in about a month to Poway. I have to do some renovations first. I think they are going to be wood flooring, some new tile and removal of popcorn ceilings.

I am also thinking about getting a dog, especially an akita. I think I have fallen in love with this breed. One of my good friends has one and it always seems like people tend to compliment them a lot. I like how they don’t bark and a little stubborn but are great dogs overall. I want a puppy but I might look at one at a shelter to adopt. But who knows what might happen. There is a shelter in La Jolla called A Passion for Paws Rescue and I have expressed some interest with them.

Whats going on for the 4th of July? I think some beach and relaxation are in my schedule this weekend. Let’t hope for a good time for everyone!
