Day Seven

Pill count:

  • 2 Advanced Cleanse II (last night)
  • 2 Advanced Cleanse I
  • 2 OilSmart (Organic Flax, Borage and Cold Water Fish Oils)
  • 6 FiberSmart
  • 1 Extended release B12
Water: 1.5 liters

Poop count: 2 or 3...one of which was perfectly, if not slightly overly, firm

It occurs to me that it really is neccessary to post these things daily...y'know, because I remember virtually nothing except the pill counts. Gah.

Tomorrow, I'm going to start eating shredded wheat for one of my meals. Yay, fiber.

Day Six

Pill count:

  • 2 Advanced Cleanse I (last night since I accidentally took Cleanse II in the morning)
  • 2 Advanced Cleanse I
  • 2 OilSmart (Organic Flax, Borage and Cold Water Fish Oils)
  • 9 FiberSmart
Water: 3 liters

Poop count: 2 or 3...much less loose than they have been

I remember very little about this day...outside of finding out that a good friend has decided to start the cleanse.

Blargh.

Day Five

Pill count:

  • 1 Advanced Cleanse II (last night)
  • 2 Advanced Cleanse II (accidentally this morning instead of Advanced Cleanse I)
  • 3 OilSmart (Organic Flax, Borage and Cold Water Fish Oils)
  • 9 FiberSmart
Water: 2.5 liters

Poop count: 2 or 3...all loose

It turns out the Advanced Cleanse II pills make me gassy...or at least, that's what happens when I accidentally take them in the morning. Ugh.

aw, fuck

I remembered to take 2 pills this morning. Unfortunately, in my bleary-eyed state, I took two evening pills (Advanced Cleanse II) instead of two morning pills (Advanced Cleanse I).

Gah.

Day Four

Pill count:

  • 1 Advanced Cleanse II (last night)
  • 1 Advanced Cleanse I
Water: 2.5 liters

Poop count: 3 or 4...maybe 5...

They were still generally loose and generally about 60% of my normal poops.

No, no I didn't feel like posting today. Yes, yes I'm doing this out of obligation and because I know that if I don't, I'll just give up on this blog entirely....

I miss the B12....and the fiber...and the oils. Bah.

Tomorrow, I go to 2 pills instead of just 1....I was supposed to do that today, but I forgot. It was a very long day.

  • 1 Advanced Cleanse I
  • 1 OilSmart (Organic Flax, Borage and Cold Water Fish Oils)
  • 3 FiberSmart

Water: 2 liters

Poop count: 2
  1. loose, but more solid than yesterday
  2. it hid behind the toilet paper
Yeah, no pictures again. Suck.

Day Two

Pill count:

  • 1 Advanced Cleanse II (last night--after I posted and before I went to bed)
  • 1 Advanced Cleanse I
  • 2 OilSmart (Organic Flax, Borage and Cold Water Fish Oils)
  • 6 FiberSmart
  • 1 Extended release B12
Water: 1.5 liters and counting

Poop count: 2
  1. loose and a little gassy at first
  2. prolonged and loose...I was in there for about twice as long as normal
Okay, so there were supposed to be pictures...well, there aren't yet. This is a learning experience as much as any. The first lesson being that if you religiously take a goddamn camera with you everytime you go to the bathroom and only forget once...it will be the one time that you do more than pee. And, secondly, if you've learned the first lesson and actually remember aforementioned camera, said occurence will take place in a Home Depot bathroom with an auto-flush toilet that's too quick on the draw. Auto-motherfuckin'-flushing toilet....but everything else is manual such that I have to touch three different bacteria-infested surfaces post-handwashing if I want to leave the bathroom without wasting water.

On to more important things: Despite my cynical view of all things trendy-cleanse...I'm feeling a bit more spry and my sweat smells different. Now, this might be due to my concentrated effort to drink water, but I've always been big on the water drinkin' thing. I generally drink at least 1.5 liters daily--not including any water that might be in other beverages--and often times tap out at close to 2.5 liters, peaking at 3. I know this because I love water in square bottles (read Fiji) and have bottle-corpses scattered about my domicile. So, we'll see...I'm still pretty leary of it all and am focusing on the poop. Knock on log again, my friends, but do it better this time so that my ineptness might be overcome.

Focus, you know we need poop visuals.
