At work. Don't want to work. Last week of work.

Yes, it's my last week at work. Yayness for me. They are about to do some construction in my area and tear down the wall right next to me. They are doing it the DAY after I leave. Why couldn't they do the exciting work prohibiting stuff BEFORE I leave? stupid timing of life I guess. Dash it all. I hope I don't forget everything I have leanred here because I want to come back when the mission is over.

Speaking of mission. I decided where I'm going to have my "farewell that's not allowed" party at. Our house is too small and our backyard still isn't finished. SO, it's going to be at the pavillion at Magna park. It's the closest park to my ward and no one will be squished. I think I'll have the 6 foot subs and cookies. So come!!!!!

It's so sad saying goood bye to everyone at work. I will miss all the people here tons. Change is good I suppose. And boy do I need it.

Rachel is up at girls camp this week. She left this morning at 6am and will be gone till friday afternoon. I'm going to be quite bored this week. I mean, I have tons to do and pack, but Rachel is my entertainment at home. RAndy is gone all the time with charity so it's practically like he's moved out, and Michelle now married, Michael moved out. Kind of empty. sad. I guess I could use the alone time. I still need to finish the Book of Mormon and Preach my gospel before I leave. Only three weeks left to do it. yikes.

Oooh. Just remembered!! Harry Potter book #7 is out in 12 days!!! You know what I'll be doing July 21st!!! When does the movie come out? (....checking google......) Ok July 13th. Holy Crap this Friday!!! I can't stand when the theatre is full of stupid noisy kids though. I'll probably go Monday morning on the 16th with Rachel. Yay!!!

Ouch. Stomach. Rumbling. Must. Not. Eat.

Going to get some water now.

Aftermath

so, the fast lasted 3 days. Not bad I'd say. The wedding threw everything off and was insane crazy for the past four days. Tomorrow starts another fast. Nothing huge going on so nothing to distract me. I think I'll be drinking a lot more water this time though. I got a little dehydrated last time. Need to keep track of it.

So, have you seen the mission counter 25 days to go! yay! I still have the bajeezez scared out of me but I'm way excited still. Lots to pack and prepare. The list is endless. As soon as I get my mission picture back(sometime this week, I'll be sending out the invitations to my farewell. So, Toni, Tony, Joe and Michelle, I need your addresses!!! please send me an email with them included!!! Thanks a bunch. wouldn't want you to not get one!!.

Happy fasting

Day 2 of the fast

So, I just spent my entire lunch in the bathroom at work. It was the only place that I could get away from all the tempting food smells from people cooking their lunches and bringing them to eat at their desks. Second day of the fast and I’m Freezing I’ve never been so cold in the middle of the summer! I guess food makes your body work and raises your temp or maybe the fat is just coming off, but I am so cold! Oh, second day because I ate at the Bridal shower on Saturday. We had Hawaiian haystacks and I couldn’t resist. But I started the fast again yesterday seeing how it was fast Sunday anyway. It’s 1:16 and I have had two pieces of gum and a cup of water so far. That wasn’t too hard as I usually never eat anything for breakfast anyway, and all through high school I never ate lunch except a V8 once in a while. It’s amazing how clean, light and fresh your body feels when you fast. I’m used to my body being full of garbage. Candy, fries and chips were my food pyramid. I can’t wait for the MTC when I can have free range to fruit and veggies for every meal. I bought most of my MTC clothes half a size smaller so I HAVE to lose weight before I leave. So Four weeks left to lose half a dress size seems reasonable, considering I’ll be eating one time until then. Of course if I get sick, dizzy or need to eat, I will be smart and eat something so I don’t die. I’m not going all psycho and anorexic. Just juice fasting until I get at the desired weight and have occasional healthy food in between fasts.
Though I’m not sure if I’ll ever get used to this gnawing feeling in my stomach. As it’s so used to being overly stuffed during the day.
Well, I’m off back to work to freeze to death. I need to bring a jacket tomorrow. Going to get more water now. buh bye!!

Flames

OK, so the fast began yesterday, not too bad (so far). I have a bridal shower to finish planning for, and am in the process of moving in to Michelle’s old room. So I have lots to keep me busy and focused on food. I usually eat when I’m bored anyways. The medicine doesn’t seem to take too bad a toll on my stomach when there is no food in it. The face is starting to clear up VERY SLOWLY, but I can tell a difference. The thing is, the stuff I’ve been putting on my face must be reacting with the oral medicine, because my face is a river of fire right now. It literally feels like someone is stabbing me with a hundred little pins all over my face. The BURRRRRNNNNN.. It better clear this trash up fast or I’m going back for new Medicine. I don’t know how long I can stand my face feeling like it’s on fire. It’s Cephalexin that I’m taking btw. I only have three days left with it and then I go back to my old medicine. I’m probably switching dermatologists so I can start taking accutane. My current derm won’t prescribe it. Anyone ever taken accutane before?

Fast.

This morning I had a peach and a string cheese. I had to eat something along with the antbiotics I'm taking for a tissue infection on my cheek. After five days of intense antibiotics I have to get a steroid injection to my face and then a mild antibiotic for a couple more weeks. It started as a blemish (as always) and became so inflamed I went to the doctors. It's so close to my eye they were worried it could spread to it and possibly into the bone. All I can say is it hurts like Heck and I'm sick of it!!!! Perfect for my sister's reception next week. People will ask, "what's that red animal living on your face?" I've been cleansing it 3 times a day, four pills a day, a antibiotic cream slathered on every night. It hurts!

Anyway...back to the cheese and peach this morning. I was going well till I drove past a McD's. I've read everywhere that you are what you eat. Possibly a contributer to not having the clearest skin in the world in my case. So, hoping it will help with the healing of my face, and the general dislikes of my weight(as you are all aware) I am doing a juice/water fast until I leave for the MTC. Thereafter I will continue to eat microscopic portions of everything that goes into my mouth. Also My sister and I just bought a gym membership to the Magna rec. and I'll be going daily except sundays. I did a water fats before and it lasted 3 days. I don't know how much I lost, but I felt great.

so Here I go, hope all goes well
