Okay, well it's coming up to the end of Day 1.  My thoughts so far:

*  Damn those Paranil things are hooooge!  It's like swallowing horse tranquilisers or something!  Two was bad enough, not looking forward to taking four.

* Ick, ick, ick - I could not stop urging while drinking the Colonix despite it being mixed in a fruit cordial (I know, I know, I didn't have any juice and I wasn't brave enough to use plain water).  That was only 1/2 a scoop - the thought of a whole scoop sends shivers down my spine.  Thing is, it tasted fine so I'm not sure why I was gagging - maybe it's psychological.  All the same, I've bought some smoothie to take it with tomorrow on the 'theory' that my brain knows that a smoothie is supposed to be thick so maybe I won't notice the Colonix mixed in..!

*  Had a normal BM about an hour after breakfast (not that I'm expecting any change so soon but we have to document these things!!!) and a mild headache in the afternoon.  Despite increasing my liquid intake by 200% I haven't needed the loo any more than usual.  Slight increase in gas this evening - but that's nothing unusual for me!

Diet today:

Breakfast:  Rasperries with Low Fat Greek Yoghurt and a sprinkling of Museli.  Pint of water.
Lunch:  Leftover homemade pasta bake with mozarella, 2 oatcakes with lemon and coriander houmous.  Pint of water.
Afternoon snack:  Banana
Post-work naughty:  Skinny Cinnamon Latte
Pre-dinner snack:  2 oatcakes with lemon and coriander houmous.
Dinner:  Small portion of homemade meatballs with tomato, onion, celery and mushroom sauce and wholewheat spaghetti.

Exercise today:

1 hour Body Pump class this morning.

Right, I'm going to make my Kleritea thing in an hour or so.  I'm not sure how effective it will be as I've used Senna in the past for constipation and even the extra-strong capsules had no effect whatsoever... should be interesting.  Will report tomorrow!

Day 2

Okay, so I mixed my Colonix with a Strawberry and Banana smoothie which was a million times better but I've come to the conclusion that the fibre actually tastes a little bit like licorice which I hate, hate, hate - and that's why I'm struggling to drink it.  Still, like I said, a million times better so I'm not fearing the encounter tomorrow morning!!!

Had a BM just after breakfast - a little mushy perhaps, nothing spectacular.  Spent a good couple of hours this afternoon in agony from gas and cramping... it subsided after I had a hot drink though.  Haven't stopped pee-ing all day - which is sooo unusual for me.  I'm not a big drinker, I barely have two pints of liquid in an entire day and quite often will only need to pee two or three times.

Had a second BM late afternoon, came out of nowhere - shot out of me like a bullet!  (sorry, tmi!).

Other than that, feeling fine.

I'm too embarassed to post up today's diet!  It was all going so well until this evening when I stopped off at a local drive-thru (whoopsie!).  No exercise for me today either.  I better work extra hard tomorrow.

Tomorrow's my weekly weigh-in.  Hopefully it won't be tooooo depressing - I've a party to go to on Saturday night

I'm sorry, I fully intended to do a full blog thingy but there's really nothing to report... everything is going as normal except my BMs now have the consistency of chewing gum - very rubbery and stringy.

That's wonderful! Congratulations!
