It has been a few days since I updated this due to being so so busy trying to fit everything into the last few days here. Most of the days have been the same with taking the shakes and supplements, yoga in the morning, daily massages and ultrazonic zapper sessions.
My weigh ins for the last three days have been as follows:
17/10 - 61.7kg blood pressure 107/91
18/10 - 61.9kg blood pressure 112/70
19/10 - 62.0kg blood pressure 110/73
Yes that is right, I have been putting on weight even thou I have not been eating! Saying that I believe that my body is retaining water now at a healthy rate and I have noticed that certain 'fatty' areas are actually less fatty. Pookie made the comment last night that my face was looking much thinner.
I have also had a few optional therapy sessions. On Monday I met with Tim Robins (http://www.timrobins.net/) and undertook a EFT (emotional freedom technique) session. The principal of this technique is to get in contact with your unconscious mind, normally emotions relating to certain events etc and then using a tapping technique to remove them, or shift them in your body. I probably haven't put that to justice so if you are interested in it check out his website. I certainly found the session interesting in a positive way. I don't think my issues have miraculously disappeared however I do feel a little more at ease about them. It is also a practice that I think you need to have repeated sessions and due to time constraints this was unfortunately not an option for me. A number of the guests here have used him and raved about him and one in particular I must admit does seem much happier all round after her session.
The other therapy session I had was Chi Nei Tsang which is a internal organ massage. It looks at and releases congestion and blocked energy and assists with eliminating toxins, It is recommended for clients who suffer any discomfort in the tummy (which I certainly did with my cramping). I had colema afterwards and the bodywork certainly spoke by itself. I felt something shift in my colon during the treatment from the right side to the left. Yes I still had some discomfort and pain but what I expelled during the colema was the same mass that I expelled the day that was the turning point for me and my cramps. I believe that it had loosened the remaining 'issues' (if you like) which did lead to more cramping however nothing like how it was in the beginning.
Now talking about colemas, I had this mass come out after the session last night but what come out during this mornings session is what now has me fascinated with my own poo! Again saving you the details but I felt like I had actually gotten somewhere, I was now getting rid of something that had been in my colon for far too long. Remembering if you will that I have not eaten at this point for almost 8 days yet the amount that still gets removed from your body is incredible. Bruce said that on day 13 of his program he had a huge amount all of a sudden break loose and expel. I do understand also there is alot of sceptics out there about this process and say that it is like that because of what they give you to eat and your supplements etc, well I can tell you that what came out of my body this morning, could not have been made by any of those things in seven days. I am so much of a believer in colemas now I have actually asked to extend my program and do two more tomorrow! And can't wait to see what they deliver.
I have also had a wrap, a facial, a manicure and a pedicure. My skin is glowing and I am feeling very very relaxed.
Monday night a couple of us got our coconuts and had a movie night and last night I was talked into heading to Patong. What a strange place that is when you aren't drinking. The ladyboys were out in force. Some of the people were either not detoxing (such as Pookie and Anne who work here) and Bruce had just finished. Some were drinking while others were sipping on juice. I can report that as HARD as it was I resisted temptation and kept ordering water even thou I think I might of stolen a cold lemonade off a child had I been given the change. To make matters worse they were handing out free iceblocks and popcorn in one place and being a Tuesday night it was ladies night so each place we went to you were given a free drink which I reluctantly handed over to those people drinking. 1am home for bed is far too late when you are a) on a detox and b) have yoga at 7.30am the next morning.
Yesterday I also made a trip to the big buddah which is currently being built on the highest point here. It is absolutely huge and the OH&S that the workers were using was something for sore eyes. It was incredibly hot due to the sun beaming down but an amazing view that photos will never be able to provide justice.
All in all I am feeling absolutley fantastic. I am so much more positive about... well everything. I believe my body has reacted really well to everything and has helped guide me through this journey. I have also learnt alot about myself form simple things like.... ah that noise in my tummy is gas in my colon to when I hear about a certain subject I tense up. I am definitely more in tune with my body and have learnt alot about how I can improve and continue to detox. I will certainly be leaving here on a positive note but more on that tomorrow as it is time for bed!
I am off to dream about the papaya that I get for breakfast, yes food, although secretly I think I would prefer a big plate of pad thai.
