Well, it seems to be a very slow process to recovery. I have been eating my veggies and proteins. Trying hard to stay away from sugar! Gah, today I felt well for the majority of the day. Until dinner, I had a bowl of cereal. That was a mistake, a HUGE mistake. I chased it down with some raw garlic, my supplements and three glasses of water. I am hoping that it all settles it self out in a little while.
I have NOT been doing any work outs this week. I really have only been trying to let my body settle down and fight off all of the junk that has been running around in there.
This is a really boring post. I have nothing left in me for the day. I am going to go curl up with a blanket, a glass of water, a box of tissue and a good old fashion tear jerking kind of movie.
Have a good night All!
love,
Rebecca

Here is #thegood, #thebad, #theugly...
Well, I finally have a little bit of down time in my life to give a full update on what has been happening! Have I continued to work out in my grand scheme of getting fit? Have I continued on eating well? Have I found a solid road to getting healthy to walk upon?
Those all seem like wonderful questions to me...and yet they all feel overwhelming to answer. I know they are just words on this blog, letters mashed together that appear to only be little things in black and white (only because I am too boring to change the color of the fonts), but the truth is there is SO much behind those questions.
I will start off by saying, "YES". I have continued to workout. Everyday in fact, you see I work in a warehouse. By default, I work out; I lift at least 500-1,000 pounds (honestly, it is probably more) while I audit inventory. I bike three times a week to and from work. That is a ride that is just under 7 miles as an out and back. I run just under 2 miles the other three days a week. I have been going for many long mile walks in the evenings, helps to be living close to the lake. I did a month of HIIT (high intensity interval training). I still pull on some of that when I am dogging around at night.
YES, I have continued to eat well. When I had food in my house, more than just eggs, peanut butter almonds and rice, I would prep meals in advance to be able to take them for lunch to work. I would come home and make chicken and have a salad. I learned how to cook veggies that I had never had before. I ate apples, oranges, bananas, avocados, grapes, pears until the cows came home. I thrived on this delicious food that I would make. I ALWAYS felt hungry, even after having a wonderful meal.
So, have I found a solid road to getting healthy? I sure thought I had...
So in all of these months that have passed by since May, I have at least maintained my weight. I have spent months post juicing, and prior, feeling bloated. I have been assuming it is due to food allergies or a past issue I had with my gall bladder. I attributed other slight issues I had to having been so sweaty from working out or from getting to hot in the warehouse. Not having air condition at home to cool down at night. Little did I know that there was something far worse going on inside of me.
Let's jump back to a week ago....
Now I am not normally a checker of my bowel movements, but on Thursday last week I just had the notion to do so. Typically, there is nothing there, meaning nothing noticeable that cause alarm to us when we take a peak at our stool. I wish I could have been that lucky on that day. Alas, not, I happen to find TWO flat opaque looking things in my stool, both about two inches in length! My initial thought was I haven't eaten anything that could look like that, Oh God, please don't let it be some kind of a parasite!
So, I did what any of us would do...I googled it! I read up on parasites felt I hadn't found any conclusive evidence to support it was nor wasn't and was like okay, well, let's move on. Then on Sunday, my roomie says to me seemingly out of nowhere "you know garlic is real good for you? It will kill of stomach parasites and aid in digestion" I was blown away by her bringing this up. I hadn't mentioned a thing to her. In fact, I had not mentioned anything to anyone about the dang things I saw in my stool. I walked away from that conversation and decided to pray. I had ask God for wisdom about what I saw on Thursday, but surely this cannot be it.
Then on Monday, which was off because of Labor Day, I went out of town for the day. For lunch I got a salad, with chicken, dried cranberries and a raspberry vinaigrette. Sounds like that should have been a great little lunch, right? Ha! With in an hour of eating it, my stomach had really began to bother me, it had bloated out! FROM A SALAD!!! GIVE ME A BREAK!
Well, that night I came home and said to my roommate, "What do you know about parasites?" She handed me a natural medicine book and I looked them up. As I read through symptoms I started to realise that I have been experience almost ALL of them. Bloating, nausea, itching near the bum (had figured to be hemorrhoids up til now), etc. al.
I started that night with garlic treatment. Meaning I inserted a clove of garlic into my rectum. Then next morning the things I saw in my stool shocked me! I was in disbelief. I told myself, we will just give it a go and see if this does any thing. Well, by the second day of treating I had a noticeable difference in my waist line...really I wasn't bloating. See, I had also read that if I did have parasites, that they thrive off of carbs and refined sugar. I cut that out of the diet ASAP! I was starting to feel "normal" until that night with dinner. I had sweet potatoes. Ya'll I swear those like jerks were having a field day in my tummy! I bloated up almost right away. Still doing the garlic treatment (3 raw cloves during the day, one in the bum at night), and getting put on some supplements to start killing them off.
I can tell you that my stool had little guys in them for days. That next night I felt great when I got home from work. I was CRAVING sugar like CRAZY! I was afraid to try some but there is so much fruit in my house I don't want it all to go bad. I thought, well, I will try three little bites of watermelon. BAD IDEA!!! Hebeegeebees GALOR! Man alive, I just wanted to reach my hand down my throat and pull out my insides.
I am now on an intense program to kill this IDIOTS! I am hoping that after this is all done for that I will feel well again. I have been frustrated that there has not been significant change due to the diet that I have gotten back to eating and the amount of exercise I have doing, but with parasites in me, HOW COULD THERE BE!
There we have it. That is how I have been doing. any questions?
