 It seems like this summer came and went so quickly. During July I took on the lemonade detox diet which consists of only drinking a concoction of lemon juice, grade b maple syrup, and cayenne pepper, along with drinking laxative tea at night and doing a salt water flush in the morning. After about six or seven days I was losing too much weight so I began to incorporate raw foods into my diet as well. I was so happy with the results but unfortunately, a few days after my diet had ended I got sick with a fever. It wasn't responding to any kind of fever reducing medicine after the first two days and the fever would not break. I was scared to go to the hospital because I don't have health insurance but after a week of being ill my fiancé said I had to go. Turned out I had a kidney infection so it was good that I went. I hardly ate when I was sick but once they put me on antibiotics it seemed like I was always ferociously hungry. I gained back all the weight I had lost plus more. After I got off the meds I started pumping it at the gym again and now I am back to my original weight. Concentrating on my weight seems to help distract me from other problems. After I got back from Oregon my aunt Shell and her family decided to move up north to Oregon. Soon after my aunt K and her family moved up there too. My family has always been very close so it’s been a lot different not having them around. Next weekend my mom and my two youngest sisters are moving to Washington. They are the most important people in my life and I don't know if it has even completely sunk in all the way that they will be gone. It’s amazing how much just the thought of something happening can affect you. It makes it hard to get going, especially this past week with school starting. Because of everything I've had going on and the difficulty of getting classes I'm retaking Embalming, Anatomy and Pathology and taking a bunch of PE classes so that I will be going at least 3/4 time (9 units). My PE classes are swim for fitness, body conditioning, and kick boxing. I need 1 more unit though and am hoping to get into hip hop dance but I have to petition it again next week and hope some people dropped or don't show :[ On a more positive note though I turned 20 on Sunday! I also learned my fiancé really sucks at buying presents haha but he's sweet. So today I'm taking myself shopping woot woot! I'm also looking forward to camping for four nights at Bolsa Chica next month and convincing my fiancé to use our Disneyland tickets now that it’s less crowded with schools starting back up again. I also wanted to say good luck this semester to all of the mortuary science students and hope you all had a great summer! Toodles… |
