How I did it: I embarked on this with my new roommate; once we discovered nearby fresh markets and organic grocery stores, we made it a routine to get good ingredients, and core staples. Every week, we rotated some foods, and just learned to cook together. We've used fresh herbs and lots of spices in our cooking, and that's made all the difference. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Simple. I just started keeping more of the books I've been meaning to read by my bed, dug up some fave bookmarks, and made sure to get a few pages in a night. I also joined Goodreads.com, where I've been able to track books read and see what others are reading. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Quit all meds -- BC, spiro, and antibiotics. Since last fall, I've been getting my appetite back; I cut out refined sugars, switched from cow milk to soy, and tried to exercise again. Mainly, I'm taking just vitamins, probiotics, natural supplements, and drinking TONS of tea and water! Read how I did it…
So far, so good.
I just finished David Sedaris’ When You Are Engulfed in Flames, and savored it. After reading the obligatory texts that I must teach in school - and after lamenting the fact that public high schools are lagging in updating their reading lists - this was SO refreshing.
Now I need to stop being a book whore and just finish all those half-completed books sitting on my shelf…
About two months ago, I quit taking the birth control pill that had essentially suppressed the core of my being. For the eight months I was on it, my body was slowly calling for help… fatigue, bloating, alarming hair loss. But most of all, it made me feel numb. I realize that I was living less in the present, that so many events, whether good or bad, would wash past me like Jersey shore trash. That’s probably a bit extreme, but I did feel less like myself.
Since stopping, I am returning back to my old self. My body is still trying to recuperate, and I hope I’m on the right track in helping. Lots of water, and a new women’s multi-vitamin. I’m also taking random health supplements that may or may not be working, so we’ll see.
I hope that in six months, I can look back on all this as a necessary journey, and that I will be out of the nightmare!
