DAY 61, P90X PLUS, VERY SICK TODAY HAD TO WORKOUT LATE

Prune juice might be a good alternative.  It might make you kinda "gassy" but it won't cramp your stomach like store bought laxatives.

You are a better woman than me...cause I surely would have slept in and NOT worked out.  I hope you feel better soon.  I got in a workout yesterday and another planned for today.  Tomorrow I will be travelling to New Orleans for classes.  Friday and Saturday should be interesting as the hotel gym is closed for renvoations.  Gonna have to figure something out!

Hey April, 

Thanks i'll be fine just have to get this tea out of my system I guess.    When I went up to Yosemite for Thanksgiving I took my laptop and my P90X PLUS dvd's with me so I wouldn't have to miss a workout.   You could get up and run or walk the length of the room for like 15 - 20 min that will give you some workout, or you could sleep in and enjoy yourself.  Damit that is what I should have done.  LOL

Oh I thought you knew Dieter's Tea is just a bunch of herbal laxatives!  Hopefully your stomach settles down.  I see the Dr this evening for my post op follow up.  Doubt I'll do any other exercise since we have blizzard conditions here.

Morning Michelle

No I didn't know it was a laxative,  I had never heard of it before and I sure in hell won't be taking that **** again.  I brewed it a good long time, it was all dark  LOL.   And my bootie is sore LOL. 

When she told me it would clean me out I thought it would be mild like correctol or something,  HELL NO.   NEVER AGAIN.  My body does not do well with laxatives.

Hi Lee:

Congrats on completing another day (in spite of feeling ill)!  Busy morning so I am working out tonight when I get home.  Take care and I hope you feel better soon.

Hi Lia D

Make sure you get your workout in tonight,  I know how hard it is to do it at night because excuses seem to multiply like bunnies when the sun goes down, at least they do for me.

I'll be right here workout with you.

Lee:

You are right they pill up quick, that's why I like working out in the mornings, but I just have to do my usual.  As soon as I walk in the house I walk up stairs close and lock my door, get dressed for exercise.  Walk down stairs, rolling my eyes at my family as they sitting there eating and watching TV like they skinny or something, go to the basement, turn on the music, and get my big, huge, butt on the treadmill.

Once, I'm on it I'm fine its just getting down those stairs to get to it is where I have my problem.  But I'm gonna think about how much huge(rr) I'll be in the morning if I don't and that should help.
Thanks for the help!

Damn Lee...I wish you woulda asked me about the tea.  I do the tea....but I have it down to a science.  LMAO! 

I drink a cup of the dieter's tea approx twice a month.  It's the ONLY thing that cleans me out.  I know your first experience was a bad one...but if you decide to give it another shot, this is how I take it.

1. I boil it with 2 tea bags and let it steep all day.  Usually while I am at work.
2. I drink it on an empty stomach because it works much faster.
3. I drink about 48 ozs of water immediately after drinking it. (Kim is right!)
4. After 2 hours, I eat something because it stimulates colon and starts the cleansing process.
5. I make sure I have nowhere to go for about 5 hours because it takes that long cleanse.

I know it isn't for everyone, it does cause mild cramping.  However, I know to others the cramping may be too much to bear, but I have a high tolerance for pain and discomfort. 

Hey Inspire
Thanks for the instructions, but I will not be doing this tea again,  It kicked my ass.  LOL.

I was in total cramp mode all day long, my poor belly was tripping and I was up all night.    No More for me.
