My daily Journey to a healthier life style
December 16, 2010
I am feeling much better today and I didn’t do much coughing last night, but I did so some sneezing. I made a 12 ounces of Sleepy Time tea, but I didn’t drink any of it, as I drank the water I took to bed instead. LOL. I guess my body needed it more, as I was really dehydrated.
I was packing my lunch today, and I realized how easy it was to do so. In the past I have always had a hard time packing a lunch, as I didn’t get up early enough or didn’t care to do it. Now, I find myself looking forward it to it, as I have developed a routine.

I didn’t sleep well, as it was broken up in a couple hours. I fell asleep around 9 p.m. and work up around 11 p.m. and fell asleep again and work up around 1:00 p.m. It was when I woke up around 3:00 a.m I couldn’t get back to sleep, as my nose was running and sore, as I didn’t have soft tissues (toilet paper got rough). I also had a lot of pain in my head which was probably from sinus pressure. It was around 5 a.m when I got up and took 2 teaspoons of a cheap version of DayQuil so that I could get some sleep before I had to get up and go to work. I didn’t want to, ... read more Day 20 of my post Water Fast 14 y

Definitely not feeling great today. My throat is really sore and my voice is rough. If I talk, I tend to cough more then if I just remain quite, which can be hard since I work in an office. Phil joked with me on the way to work, how I sounded like a teenage boy, as my voice is changing pitch from high to low. It is kind of funny when my voice gets like this, as I sound so different.
As soon as I got up this morning, I made my tea, and started drinking it, as it helped my throat immensely. I am not really hungry as my throat hurts too much, so I only had a little ... read more Day 19 of my post Water Fast 14 y

I had a slight tickle in my throat and I coughed a bit today, which made me wonder if I was drinking too much tea, (as I didn’t know if drinking certain teas could aggravate asthma or something)or it was because I was coming down with something.
As the day wore on, I coughed more and more, so by the end of the night, my voice was very harsh. Maybe that is why I wasn’t feeling very hungry. So I could definitely tell I was coming down with something. I have to listen to my body more, especially when it doesn’t seem to want food.
Emotionally wise, I was a bit on e ... read more Day 18 of my post Water Fast 14 y

I was up very early (around 8:05) as I had things I really wanted to do before the winter storm hit. I heard that it was suppose to start snowing around 11:00 a.m. But when I woke up, I looked out the window to find it snowing, so I got up so I could get the store before we got all the snow we were suppose to get (up to 3 to 5 inches).
I put my pedometer, and MP3 player on, jammed to music as I made up both my travel mug (12 ounces) and my thermos (12 ounces) of Oolong tea. I grabbed ½ cup of bean stew (left over from yesterday’s packed lunch) and ate it cold, a ... read more Day 17 of my post Water Fast 14 y

The day started badly as Phil woke my up at 3:30 a.m. To talk/fight with me, as I didn’t answer his texts, while he was playing pool at the bar. First, my ringer was off, and I thinking I feel asleep after the first half of the movie I was watching, as I was tired. So we fought, as he wanted to talk things out to fix things between us before he moved out. I felt more criticized and lonely, as I tried to tell him I needed help with the bills, and that I would like some alone time with him as well, as it seemed that he was spending all his time with his son (which I re ... read more Day 16 of my post Water Fast 14 y

I drinking my late hot cup of Oolong tea really keep me up. I should not have drank something with a little bit of caffeine in it, but since I ate those couple of spoonfuls of fatty sloppy joe mix along with my bit of pasta, I wanted to make sure that the tea would help block the fat. I have read a lot about Oolong tea, so that is why I did it.
“Truth – Oolong tea is a very effective fat blocker. In fact, in Asia, many people drink oolong tea whenever they eat greasy and fatty food. At first, this was just a common belief among them, but scientists have since pro ... read more Day 15 of my post Water Fast 14 y

The week has been going really well with me. I haven’t spend a lot of money on groceries, as I am using the I have on hand, as well as I am supplementing my diet with beans, so I think that is why the veggies has been lasting longer, as well as I have consumed a couple a couple veggies that were in a can, when I needed a slight change in my veggie diet.
I just made up a pot of bean stew. I made a mixture of dry Red Kidney beans, white navy beans, split pea and lentils. I quick soaked the beans for an hour and then put them in my crock pot to cook with some water an ... read more Day 14 of my Post Water Fast 14 y

I have been feeling really great and so energized by what I have been eating. I have been getting a bit more exercise, then I was over two months ago. I almost feel restless as times, as if my body wants to be doing something, even in this horrible weather we have been having. I have been walking as much as I can. I really wish that my TV in the living room was still working. I would love to be playing the Wii in this horrible weather. That is one reason why I bought it in the first place! LOL
My life has been a bit boring other then reading. I am trying to figure ... read more Day 13 of my Post Water Fast 14 y

Wow, it is wonderful to be back to work and able to keep my mind on other things other then my failing relationship for what ever it is. It doesn’t mean that I don’t care about it. It is just that I don’t know what to do to fix it since Phil doesn’t really communicate with me. I guess I don’t want it on my conscience that I gave up or didn’t work on it. Phil always reminds me when I have done something like walk away (because I need to cool down/calm down) when he does it all the time to me, and I never bring it up to him about it. I have tried and tried over a yea ... read more Day 12 of my Post Water Fast 14 y

It was lovely to get back to work and have some sort of routine, as I didn’t have a routine at all while I was on vacation. Really the only thing I really focused on was what I was eating and the portions. It is funny on after a fast, the focus on food is different then what it was before hand. Before hand, my focus was more like “I am hungry, I want to eat this and this and this”. Now it is more like “Hmmmm, my body would really love a little mixture of this and that, BUT not too much” It is like my body reset it thinking and how it ingests food. It feels like my b ... read more Day 11 of my Post Water Fast 14 y

My gall bladder flush was successful, but I got up earlier then I have in the past to allow the flush to take affect. In the past, I didn’t get up until about 6 a.m. to start passing gall stones, etc., but this time I started around 3 a.m, as my body was saying “Hey! It is bathroom time. I passed a good amount of gall stones (by visual only – a least a 3/4 cup or a little more of gall stones, that were not huge, but mostly lentil sized. I had about 4 that were a little bit smaller then a nickle
I didn’t go anywhere for while, because I was still passing gall stone ... read more Day 10 of my Post Water Fast 14 y

Nothing to see here! Move along! LOL (From a Veggietale movie that I watched earlier. LOL)
I am bored and tying to keep busy by reading, cleaning a little bit and listening to music. My brain feels like it is falling out of my head, because I have been reading Ben Hur for two days now. It is good, but it is very intense and deep, so it really is getting my brain a work out. I guess it helps with boredom. I have less then ¼ of the book left so I am going to try and finish it today, but my brain feels like “Classic” mush. LOL
PJ came out for once and sat in the li ... read more Day 9 of my Post Water Fast 14 y

Yay! It is Friday and on Monday I will be going back to work. I can’t wait. I have been mostly bored, other then reading and writing on my healthy blog. It has been a kind of stressful week, as I have been lonely, due to Phil and PJ camping out in the guest room. I have been by myself most of the time when I am at home. I know it will only feel worse, after they move out. I am not looking forward to the day.
Probably going to spend the day reading, as I finished another book and I have picked up two others and started them. My brain feels like it is going to fall o ... read more Day 8 of my Post Water Fast 14 y

My day was better then it was yesterday. He woke me up at 3:00 a.m to ask if everything was okay. At first I didn’t understand why he was even asking, as he never seemed to care the fights we have had before. Most of them were not even fights. Just slight disagreements, but never fights as he always says they are. I would rather if he would have allowed me to sleep, but since he woke me up, I wasn’t able to get back to sleep, as his words were echoing in my head. Things about trying to work things out and that he would be moving out, as soon as he got another car, be ... read more Day 7 of my Post Water Fast 14 y

It was a bad day, as Phil and I had a fight, in which I was so stressed about about bills and then not having a TV. I walked out of the house in the cold in my pajamas to clear my head and calm down. He had me going and so upset that I was wanting to scream at him. The most I lost it was saying “ I don’t care.” as he was making me feel like I was asking too much for him to help me out, since he does live with me. I have supported him and his son by paying the utilities, buying the food (until recently, when he started buying his own food after I stopped buying so much ... read more Day 6 of my Post Water Fast 14 y

I got so bored sitting at home, and trying to save gas, I left the house and went over to my best friend, Christy’s house. I told her how the Wii was and how much fun it was, and it was really helping me become more active, as it makes me move more, other then doing dishes and doing laundry when I get home.
When I got home, Phil told me the the TV wasn’t working for some reason. He said that it clicks there there is no picture. I wasn’t happy, as it seems that something always breaks when he is alone or on watch. Granted that my TV wasn’t brand new, but I didn’t r ... read more |
