Days: Ten through Thirteen

Well, I honestly have nothing much to report. I'm almost at two weeks but am still not discouraged because I might be one of those folks that take three weeks to a month to notice changes. I'm committed to the program for two months and I'll take it one day at a time. At first I thought I wasn't drinking enough water, but I am.

Each time I take the fiber, I find myself still tremendously bloated. I have not noticed any difference in my skin or hair (ie. health/ shininess), nor have I felt an increase in energy. On the contrary I've been extremely tired (perhaps the World Cup has something to do with it?)

DAYS: Eight and Nine

I tried to double the dose of fiber in one drink several days ago, but found out rather quickly that it made one big, gloppy, gaggy mess. So, after my four pills, glass of water and fifteen minute wait, I'm now taking two glasses of fiber (one scoop total) with hot water. Psychologically, it's like drinking soup and, for me, it goes down easier .

As to any other "monumental" things to report, nothing really. I suppose my regular diet has enough fiber (I eat a healthy amount of vegetables, grains and fruit on a daily basis) to keep me more than regular. I'm still feeling rather bloated, so we'll see if there are any changes in the next couple of weeks.

I will check in with Penha and see what she's noted.

Day nine I kind of slacked. I ate a bagel, drank a couple cups a coffee then did the four pills and fiber routine late in the morning. I will really steep the tea and see if anything exciting happens. I did by some oatmeal at the foreigner's market and cooked with potatoes, rice and beans, so that's plenty of additional fiber that I take in on a regular basis. I'd like to see if the bloating goes away; that's the main reason I'm doing this.
