improve my health

Off work for the 2nd day. Went to the doctor and she said I was the 3rd person in this morning with the same symptoms. Bloodwork will be back on Monday. In the meantime, I’m napping more.

I slept most of the day yesterday and today. Traveling seems to make me much more tired than most people. I don’t have a temp so I’m pretty sure that I don’t have the flu. Its always this way for me after travels. It always takes at least one day so the second day is bothering me.

I’ve finally subscribed to a yoga class near work. The place seems so nice and peaceful! The ladies informed me very well about their different classes and I’m gonna practise Vinayasa Yoga and Hata Yoga. It wasn’t expensive for what it’s gonna bring me. It’s nice because I walk many miles a day with the dog but I never stretch and take time to breath! This is one good step!

One complete week without coffee! It feels like months but it’s ok, I know it’s part of what I need. I also reduce about 80% of my dairies consumption. Cheese and yogourt are too acidic for what they can bring me. I’m really learning to eat for what my body needs not for my taste buds. My exercise routine is going well too. I’m mostly taking walk or playing basketball. I’m not able to do yoga alone. Even if I enjoy the benefit I just can’t put my mind into it. But it’s ok, maybe it’s gonna come by itself.

The cold has settled in my chest. Its not congested, just sore.. I coughed enough at work to get sent home this morning. I’m resting now. Sleeping alot.

To improve my health mean also to me to shine and look full of energy. But Actually people might think I’m sick to death because my skin is in poor conditions. My face is full of scars ‘cause I have a non-regular type of acne (acne excoriee which is the result of anxious behaviours such as scratching my skin, etc.). I gotta work hard to stop doing it. It’s a vicious syndrome ‘cause the more I scratch, the more there’s acne and the more there’s acne, the more I scratch. Last week have been TOO stressful for me (gotta shut down my beloved pet, I’ve learn my best pal had cancer… well not a great week you know..)and I had some pimples popping out as a result. Anyway the thing is I gotta learn to be more relax about acne. I know my body is likely to react to stress or hormonals’ imbalance this way. I’ve been good for some months but in three days I messed it up. The biggest problem is that acne’s scars take WAY much time to heal then acne itself… This gotta be a goal to my health remission. And for it I’m about to give myself a smooth home-made healing mask! ^^

Ok. I’m studying Health Care and I’m not even in good health! I got so many things to adjust from now on! Today, I took my last cup of coffee. It’s not the first time I try to cut on coffee but I’m actually having great resources to help me. It’s sad to say but I gotta be drastic because I have no resistance to caffeine’s addiction. So if I can keep with this goal it’s gonna already be a great deal. Also, I’m not doing Any exercise at all. For a girl that was the basketball team’s captain in high school, I’m not very proud. And the thing is I really enjoy both physically and psychologically the effect of sport. So another great goal for me is to move for 30 minutes per day. It could be Yoga, Basketball, walking, anything but I gotta move! I gotta be a good healthy model for my family and future customers.

I have a cold. It started with a runny nose and sneezing. Then magically in a few hours some invisible force filled my sinus cavity with some invisible dishtowel soaked in something caustic, or at least it felt like that. It hurt to touch me face. That was 2 days ago. I stayed in bed and rested but the rest only made it harder to sleep in the evening. So then I wished that I had some cold medicine that would knock me out. Woke, had coffee and showered yesterday and ventured in to work. I was a little off all day and left early. Stayed on the couch all night. Found the knock out meds and took the weekend off.

They might even suck more than cramps. Plus, everyone can’t relate. Even older women look at me and say, “Oh, I never HAD them” and the look down on me when they say it.

They really wake me up.

I really do have to change clothes.

I restarted the meds and they aren’t working so much this time.

The agony.

i’m eating healthy and enjoy the foods and meals i provide for myself, but my crux is baked goods. once or twice a week i’ll bake myself up a batch of cookies, bake 3/4 of the dough and eat the rest while they bake. it’s arguably the most pleasuring experience, that is until i’ve eaten the entire batch within the span of 12 hours (cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner, anyone?). a batch of 20 something cookies is what, 1000+ calories? hell, i’m in shape and workout every morning but i’d do anything for a good cookie.

i am baking them myself, using healthy(ish) ingredients, and it provides some form of baking therapy after a long day of university. it’s like an abusive relationship. that love-hate stuff.

i need an upgrade from that vixenish, bad-girlesque food supply, replacing it with something more easy going, yet satisfying in some other dimension.
