Another off day.
Leg doesn't feel too bad after yesterday's bodyweight work actually.
Gonna see my ortho this coming week and see if I can get back to full duty at work. It's been nice to have a break from the physical part but the pay is killing us.
We have a family vacation scheduled for the end of next month so I gotta be sure the bank account is plenty full lol.
I've been doing a detox since I got ban from Vegas so I figured I would post where I got my info and ideas from.
This is Dave Palumbo's detox regiment. It's got some sales pitch shit in there but, the basic outline has worked very well for me so far. Stomach distension has come waaaaay down in a little over a week. My energy seems better and I'm definitely flushing toxins judging by my stool and urine.
Some things I'm not doing are the cocoa products, coconut Kiefer (dunno wtf that is I just use whatever is on sale), I use a different multi and fish oil as well as Barleans multi green/fruit blend. Also I substitute NAC for milk thistle at 1g.
RULES:
1. Program is 3-Weeks (21 days) in duration (I would try to stay on this as long as you can)
2. Must fast (not eat or drink) for 12 hours every day. That means you must eat all your meals within the allowable 12 hours. You MAY drink water outside of that 12 hour period but nothing else. Nothing!
3. Your body will be releasing many toxins during this time period so make sure you drink lot of water. Alkalinized water is best (if you have availability). Fiji water is alkalinized. Whole Foods sells alkalinized water. I sell a product called the ION POD (404 Not Found): you just add tap water to it and in 5 minutes you have alkalinized water (drink at least 7-10 glasses of this per day during this detox)
4. You may feel “strange” or you may have “interesting” bathroom habits. That’s a sign that you’re detoxing. Don’t get nervous or panic.
