Long time, no post. I blame guilt.

Hello imaginary readers. How is everyone? I know that it has been a long time since I've written a blog post and I have many excuses but none of them are good ones. I haven't been able to continue my colonics appointments because I got a job and started summer school which interfere a good bit with free time to drive to ATL for the appointments. I really want to get back into the habit of going however next weekend my sister surprised me with a sister beach weekend then the next weekend is stephen's surprise bday weekend so it'll be a while before I can.

And if i'm going to be honest with myself and anyone that may read this, I have not been so good about keeping my mostly vegan diet up...i was speaking with someone today and told them that i believe i have an emotional attachment or emotional addiction to food. it's like an ocd compulsion that i have to pile my plate high or order more than i actually need and finish all of it. i need to look into talking with someone about this. it's unhealthy for my body and health physically and emotionally. So the next step i want to take is to make shakes using The Ultimate Meal from Whole Foods and rice milk and protein to make shakes that will replace meals for me. It will have all of the nutrients i would get from healthy foods and the protein will help keep me from getting hungry every 2 hours like I do and hopefully jump start my weight loss because so far nothing really seems to be helping.

I enrolled in Yoga class at school which I'll be taking 5 days a week for an hour and a half for the next month. Hopefully that will help a lot also. I know of people who have drastically lost weight or maintained a healthy weight through yoga. I would also like to look into Zumba classes hopefully that Clemson offers. I love to dance so hopefully that will replace the cardio that I would like to get but am unable to get by running etc.

So....due to everything from lack of will power to being crazy busy to frustration leading to not sticking to my rules, I have backslidden about my diet and working out but I haven't given up. I'm going to try to get bottles and rice milk tomorrow to make the shakes to replace meals and next Monday I begin yoga every day....here's to hoping something starts working soon. This stomach virus I have should help me not eat so much for a day or two...ha. The sad thing is even a stomach virus and being consistently nauseous for 24 hours straight can't stop me from wanting to eat....i really need to look into talking to someone about my emotional eating. Add it to the list of things i never know when i'll get to. I need to write them all out and set a deadline to have them all accomplished by. Hopefully I'll blog again soon and give you all an exciting list of all of the natural supplements i'm taking to try to get my allergies and asthma under control too....it's fun. Peace and Light.
