Slimming Coffee & Chinese Tea

After work yesterday, I headed off to Clicks to do some investigation. I wanted to see what detox products that had on offer, in the hope of finding something interesting or new that I hadn't yet seen on shelves before. Alas, I was met with disappointment, as the only product they had on offer was some detoxifying tea - a new Chinese product, which was one of those "As seen on TV" offers. Subsequently I saw the same product, as well as a few others - including Slimming coffee (sounded interesting!), and of course also the detox foot pads (different from the ones I bought from Dischem last week - but from my research, it seems they all contain similar ingredients which I will go into more detail later.) I asked one of the Clicks store assistants if she could recommend anything - such as a detox supplement, but the only thing she said that she knew of was the foot pads - which I must say, don't really grip me as being that effective.

My colonic is booked for this Saturday, 12am - I'm starting to get a little nervous. My stomach has been playing up a little this week, and I went just over 2 days without a bowel movement. According to my mother I was quite a constipated baby - and I know that my dad and my granny (my mom's mom) often have problems like that too. It's a pity when things like that (and also my tendancy to have pretty bad breath) are hereditary, but I'm determined to make a difference! I know that I could possibly be better off when I change my diet and maintain it - my mother (a health and gym fanatic) is convinced that my breath would improve if I changed my eating habits. So far, though - this is all words and not very much action - and I know that tonight I'm probably going to eat a stack of cheese since it's in the fridge and I know it's going to go off if no-one eats it! I think that after my colonic things are going to get serious, and that's how I'm going to play it for now. There's no use in paying for something and not following through afterwards, it would be a waste of money - but mentally I'm not quite in the right place due to work issues. I contemplated staying at home today just to give myself some me-time... something I get pretty much zip of these days. However, as usual - I dragged myself out of bed, got in the car and came to work. Only an hour to go until I get to go home. I need to get my life and my room sorted out - I don't think I'm going to be able to embark on a cleansing program if my life and enviroment isn't clean. Tonight is the night to sort my stuff out!
