I’m not taking sleeping pills to go to sleep anymore. I’ve completely stopped being stressed, and I feel so much better for it. I’ll be taking up Pilates properly tomorrow, but more importantly for me I’ll be taking up swimming as soon as the pool is fixed. I need to concentrate on a good diet, and I’m thinking about buying a bog standard cheap bench to do basic work outs on, but I have Matt Furey books and videos that I should be working from in order to get healthier. I’ve moved into a larger new house that is perfect for the new lifestyle that I intend to adopt.

I’d like to be able to do handstand push ups and I’d like to do more stretching exercises, so I’d be more flexible.

rehab  — 2 weeks ago

This isn’t a joke. I think they’re going to try to put me in rehab tomorrow. All I know is that I have to go to the doctors – and I don’t have a choice. I literally am being forced.

I might have to go into a rehabilitation centre to stop me from killing myself.

I think the ultimate in being healthy must be staying alive.

I admit that I might have worried a few doctors because I am so depressed, but then again, I’ve given up every drug and alcohol beverage imagininable. At least I can say I’ve given it all up.

I just don’t want to leave the house, eat, see people, do anything, or live.

Damn.

Rohipnol and alcohol  — 1 month ago

not ideal, but I have to get some sleep. The doctor said it would work on its own, but I literally take a handful and then they don’t work, so now I’m having them with some rum. It’s supposed to work faster.

I only wanted Valium, but no, they gave me this crappy date rape drug that doesn’t even send me to sleep. I could be getting spiked all night and I wouldn’t even know it. That’s how used to sleeping pills I am now.

Arg. The only amazing thing is that I’m eating well, my skin is crystal clear, my mental state is OK and I am happy, more or less.

I just wish I’d kept up the exercise, and I didn’t have to resort to this at this time in the day at this point in my life. You can’t overdose on a few Rohipnol and a bottle of Rum, I’ll get a nice long sleep, and perhaps I’ll wake up tomorrow morning.

Vitamins are going to be illegal in 2009!  — 1 month ago

They’ll make it illegal to get Vitamin C over the counter in Canada and the US. I have no idea what will happen in the UK or in Thailand, where I am mainly based, but the idea is so awful. How could people support such stupid legislation?

You can overdose on paracetamol over time, and you can even get prescriptions of Anti-depressants so easily, but they’ll make Vitamin C illegal!

I’m trying to give up Coke (as in cola!), but it’s HARDER than I thought it would be. I’m certainly not drinking the amount that I was before, and in the morning I am drinking lemon with warm water to ‘cleanse my liver’, which for all I know, could be a load of BS, but it’ll be worth it if it’s working. I like the drink, but I want my skin to be clear more than anything else.

I have had to be put on Prozac. My doctor that has been treating me for three years turns out not to have been a real doctor. She f**ed up an operation on my hip, telling me that If I didn’t get rid of it, it could turn into cancer and I would die within five years.

She has made a boy lose the use of this leg. It’s sad, becasuse she wasn’t an awful doctor. I think she knew what she was doing most of the time, but her motives weren’t for the bettering of humanity. They were a small mixture of that, and greed. She should never have given that poor boy a flu injection when he only had a cold.

The only thing I don’t understand is, why would he be so ill? The only thing that makes any sense to me is that he struggled as she gave him the needle (all children do in hospitals, if I’d been there, I would have helped out), but perhaps the needle hit a major nerve, and now it could take months, years, for him to be normal. The mental scarring might never heal.

I have been crying for no reason lately, and feeling extremely despondant. There are some reasons (in my life) why I am feeling this way, but a lot of the time, the strangest things set me off, like a song, or a passage in a poem or a book. it’s hard to explain, but perhaps my depression isn’t a passing thing. Perhaps I have ADHD and clinical Depression. It’s in my family, and being treated with an anti-depressant, a stimulant (because I can’t concentrate) and a sedative for a panic attack, as well as to help me sleep… can’t be bad, ha ha. I sound like something out of the Valley of the Dolls, but they’re not as strong as I am, that’s for sure.

Well, one good thing that has come from all of this is that I am still exercising every day and I’m eating consistently, as well as taking my prescribed meds (as I’m meant to) every day. I’ll be going on the prozac as soon as I’m off the armitrip, and then I’ll be happy and concentrated when I come home to England.

I heard somewhere that nicotine gum is good for the brain, and it might be a good thing to have instead of a cup of coffee. Who’d have thought I’d start out smoking on the patches and the gum, ha ha.

no more coca cola  — 2 months ago

I am going to drink hot water and lemon in the mornings and clean out my liver.

I did a peel yesterday evening and it really hurt my skin, but I know it’ll be better for it in a day or two. it’s just quite sore at the moment.

I need to be drinking more water and eating less bad foods so that my skin is perfect for August. I only have a month!

Untitled  — 2 months ago

I’ve been swimming every morning at around 6 a.m. for the last four days, and I’m improving. The only thing that I could critisize myself for is that I haven’t been doing anything about my strength training and my Yoga/Pilates, but I will work on that. At the moment my diet is improving as I am eating breakfast and eating proper food – I’ve been eating salads and having breakfast and real in-between meals (not snacky things that are bad for me).

You can tell that I am in a better mood because I’ve been so healthy. I am alert and awake when I want to be, and the sleep I have is lovely, but it doesn’t last very long as I don’t need to sleep a lot. I have quality sleep now.

I’m going to do ‘Yoga for Dummies’ when I’ve dropped off my Laundry and bought some groceries for the house. I’ve got to tidy the room I’m going to be working out in, so that’ll have to be done ASAP. On the whole, i’m really pleased with my progress.

I did go swimming in the end, but it was closer to lunch time I went. I also did Pilates with my gym buddy, and tomorrow we’re going into the gym to do cardio.

I didn’t go swimming this morning. My partner bailed on me so I waited for her and I’ve missed it. I’ll probably make a go for it later on in the day, after lunch maybe… I don’t know. I wish I could have gone this morning.

I’ll go to the gym and have a nice relaxing shower afterwards. I think I should make an effort to do some real gym work at least every other day. If I went in now I’d be making a big step… I want to go, but I am incredibly lazy.

BIG NIGHTS OUT

They might not sound so healthy, but I think seeing your friends have a good way on you as a hole. I’m going out with my best friend on Thursday night this week.

We’ve all decided (because I’m quite good at picking days out and days to recover – it’s my gift, lol) – that Thursday nights out are perfect. You get over the hangover (more or less) on Friday when you have your least busy day at work, which for us doesn’t even begin until 3 p.m., and then you can have the weekend still, and do things. I want to do a cookery course eventually so that i can learn how to make healthy dishes.

Tomorrow I want to get back into my swimming. I’ll go swimming tomorrow, and I’ll do Pilates.
