Review of Senna Tea

Ok, I'll edit this later and post a pic of the brand of Senna tea that I bought, but I'd honestly rather deal with magnesium citrate than this tea. I took it around 6:30 PM last night and I followed the instructions on the box to a T. It said that it would take between 6 to 12 hours to set in. It is almost 10 in the morning. It took almost 16 hours to set in. When I take something that says laxative on the box, I want it to work faster than that. Overall, I'd probably take this tea again, but I'd have to have something to do that would make me want to delay my bowel movements.

Whoops!

Sorry for not updating yesterday, but I totally crashed around 8 last night and it was a good sleep. Anyway, I know for a fact that I didn't even eat 1000 calories yesterday because I didn't eat much at lunch. I wasn't supposed to eat at lunch, but I did anyway. I did a quick weigh in wearing street clothes, but no shoes and the scale said 173.8. Not bad, but I gotta take that Senna tea soon. Maybe I'll even buy some magnesium citrate. That stuff is powerful, so don't plan on going anywhere for the entire day unless you have a Port-A-Potty with you at all times. Besides that, I think that was all that happened yesterday. Updates later!

It's A Wonderful...

Finally!!! I finally took a crap today!!! I hate being constipated!!! I even went and bought some Senna laxative tea from my health food store today. I haven't taken any yet because it apparently takes 6 to 12 hours to take effect and I don't have that kind of time to sit back and wait for stuff to happen.

Moving on, I tried something new while I was at the health food store: Acai juice.

Ignore the clutter around the bottle. I tried it in the light version because it has less sugar. It actually tastes pretty great, but I wouldn't buy this on the regular because it costs just over 2 dollars for the 12 ounce bottle. Maybe this attributed to my bowel movement.

No weigh-in today due to the fact that I knew I was weighed down by some extra waste.

Quick Weigh-In

I'm very excited about today's number: 174.2!!!! Yay!!!! I weighed myself after dinner today and I know I'm a little constipated, so I can't wait to get all that extra weight out of my system. I'm thinking of buying a laxative tea to help relieve myself because my fiber supplements aren't enough.

Edit...of another day

I was rereading an entry I wrote a couple days ago and I realized that it sounded a little anorexic-like. I said something like "I can eat under 1000 calories for the day". If anyone out there reads this, let me clarify this for you. I have to force myself to eat more because I never realized that if you were eating the right foods, how much you can eat of them and still not consume a large number of calories. So I do try to hit at least 1000 calories for the day, I am not trying to "starve myself skinny". That's what I say when my family goes on vacation and my dad only wants us to pay for 1 meal a day(lunch) because he thinks we don't need more food than that. I want to obtain my goal weight in a healthy manner.
Sidenote: I think Splenda made me sick. I have the illest headache today and I've never gotten a headache like this from lack of sleep or lack of food. I'm going to sleep early tonight and see how my head feels if I eat Splenda tomorrow.

Lunch Update

Today's lunch menu is brought to you courtesy of: La Sierra University cafeteria. As always. So I grabbed the usual fruit and a few vegetables, but I also grabbed a small bowl of spinach bow-tie pasta salad. Picture below:

I tasted it and it tastes ok, not greasy or anything, but I doubt that I'll finish eating all of it. I'll probably grab a can of salmon and mix some black pepper in and eat that. It tastes way better, in my opinion.

Yummy New Breakfast Food

So this morning, I attempted to make peanut butter balls with 1/2 cup of quick oats, 2 tbsp of organic peanut butter, 2 tsp of Splenda, and 1/8 tsp of cinnamon. That's what the closeup above is. Look under the jump to see it in my ready-to-go container.
