Lemon Detox Diet.
I don’t want to commit to a strict length of time for this detox, but I’m thinking somewhere between 5 and 7 days. I don’t think 10 days ventures into healthy territory for me. I’m only 21… don’t think I need that much of a cleanse… (:
Day 1 (Monday) – Really hard. I was craving everything under the sun. Healthy Breakfast + 4 cups.
Day 2 – Still pretty hard. No longer craving as many things, but some mild stomach discomfort set in. 8 cups.
Day 3 – Woke up with a lot of energy and earlier than usual. One of the reasons for getting on this detox is because I was still feeling tired after sleeping 10 hours, and just sluggish all day. The day went pretty well. Accompanied friends to go get pho (…! and I resisted), though there was some mild boredom and it felt easier to just go out and eat. Late at night I was starting to feel hunger pangs so I drank a few more sips of lemonade and went to bed at around midnight. 6 cups.
Day 4 – Woke up reluctantly to write an essay, but again full of energy. Not so many cravings anymore but any food seems sufficient to fulfill the hunger void. Though I shouldn’t be hungry… I should keep making more lemonade, but I have only a short break between classes today so it has to wait.

Love is in the air tonight so just breathe.
Lovely Blindside lyrics aside, I just got back from my jogging class. After shower numero dos (#2) it still feels like there is a ruptured hole in my lungs. As I got back I was coughing lightly and it was like “zomgzz *heavy breathing*” but now it’s just mild discomfort. Today we did a timed mile. I always just jog 2 miles, but specifically Coach wanted to time us today to see how much we improve by the time the class is over. So yes… I ran. ^^; Maybe I should get myself used to running instead of jogging. -_-; It would have been the smarter thing to do but whatever.
Unfortunate side-effect of losing weight and going out to run at NOON
is that I am now tanned and my jeans are falling off. Hahaha… the latter I don’t mind so much (oooh shopping anyone?) but my tan is AWKWARD! 0:
Ooh so last night I was panicking & stuff wondering when I have my health midterm… it’s on Thursday. *dies* I have so much fucking reading to do for that class it’s not even mildly amusing. ):
Ooooh but we’re getting our take-home midterm for Phil of Mind this weekend and it’s due on the 27th! I am so excited. *dances*
Seriously, I could sit with you and a cup of coffee and talk philosophy, all night long. (; Seriously, I’m surprised at how I remember everything I’ve been taught thus far… 0:
I have a study plan: Later today I’m going to blog about what I’ve been learning in health psych. In conversational form. That always helps me. *sniffles* ‘Cus no one can be bothered enough to bore them to death with details of health psych. So far it’s all this physiological shit and it’s like arrghhh ok whatever. XD That makes no sense whatsoever but eh. ^_^;
As comfortable as my pink bathrobe is it’s time to get ready to go to the very dreaded class I was talking about: Health Psych.

The days in which I’m busiest are the hardest to write about. I have to leave again in 15 minutes and I won’t be back until 10pm. I’ve been in my room today a total of 45 minutes (not counting the morning wake up & etc.). I had two classes today, two! And still… my time goes somewhere, doing something. I just don’t know.
At 5pm I have a Community Affairs Board meeting, and I’m just hoping to death it ends soon. Then at 7:30 Sandy, Rona, and I are going to go watch Across The Universe. I’ve already seen it, but it’s part of AS Program Board, and I signed up to go, so whatevz.
I had a student health appointment today. And I have two tomorrow. I gots me another set of pills today. LMAO… I now take 7 pills a day. Well, two Omega-3, and one Centrum. The other pills are daily. Then there are two other medications I can take if I’m too… uppity… or can’t sleep. My life of pill-taking is interesting
Shit, I have to leave in 10 minutes.
I haven’t taken any photos today. It’s stressing me out. In these last minutes I’m going to look for the chargers to my digi-cam and my dslr. UGH, eventually, sometime soon, when I get time, I will put the photos up on the 365 blog. *STRESSSSSED*
Okokok… I gotz 2 go!
Reminder: Prep info for 11am tomorrow. I learned something medical-related today…
