“The word health has been hijacked by the medical/sickness industry. But it really means the way you live your everyday life through your relationships with friends, family, your neighborhood, your movement, your food, your experiences, your work, and your finances. Health isn’t a goal, it’s a tool to live your life the way you want. Sometimes being fit isn’t the tool you want to use, but having a lovely marriage is. Is the unfit person with a lovely marriage less healthy than a fit person with a horrible relationship with their spouse? Health is obviously complex but it’s more about sociology and anthropology than pills and scalpels.”

Yesterday I got prescribed Marvelon.

This isn’t the first choice that doctors will usually give, but I mentioned about the acne I tend to get on my chest and back, and it was suggested I try these first as they contain a lower amount of a certain hormone that can make acne worse.

Marvelon is a 21 day contraceptive. You take it fo three weeks, and then have a break in which time you will have a withdrawal bleed/period. You can go straight on to the next pack if you want to skip a period, but this isn’t advisable on a regular basis. They come in a three month supply.

The first thing I done when I got them was to read the rather large instruction leaflet that came with them. I don’t know if its normal for them to be so extensive.

It lists side effects that may occur, such as irregular bleeding (only whilst it settles down), headache, nausea, soreness etc.

When I got home I read reviews for it on the internet, and they were not as great as I hoped, with alot of women complaining of feelings of depression and severe mood swings after the first couple of weeks.

I suffer with depression from time to time so this certainly wasn’t reassuring, however I have to keep in mind that just because other people have had this happen, it might not be the case for me.

Weight gain was also something that kept being mentioned, though according to my doctor, it isn’t the pill directly making this happen. Certain brands can make you hungrier, so you may be inclined to eat more.

I’m trying preventative measures right now to stop this from happening by intaking more water and cutting back on the junk I usually eat.

Marvelon doesn’t have the best of reviews, but I am hoping it doesn’t effect me too badly.

I found this some time ago. Do not even know who to give credit to, so to whom this may belong too, I give you all the credit!

Today I embark on my second attempt at The BluePrint Cleanse. By attempt, I don’t mean that I didn’t succeed the first time. I got through the three days of just juicing, but it was after the juicing that I failed. Miserably. 

This time after three days of consuming these (sometimes) delicious juices, I am making a vow to myself to NOT chow down on 3 tacos and a Jarrito. Bottoms up!

It’s been a few busy days. Making a list, no matter how small, and crossing things off gives me a huge sense of accomplishment. Real talk.

1. 30 mins of cardio
2. Eat no more than 1700 calories
3. Put away folded clothes
4. Wash ALL the dishes and put them away

Jeebus, when did I get so domestic.

So I’ve been sick ever since I had that dish yesterday. So I had to change my plans about the...

Cassandra said all along not to eat bean sprouts!!

ask for password

got off track for about almost half a month now, though it feels like a month. now, i have to restart everything over again. WTH man. so not cool. it was going great then i hit a plateau and got injured. everything sucks when you’re in rehab for an injury. you can’t do the things you normally do and at high intensity/level. having to start small and low and gradually build up. it’s messing with my mentality. i feel like i’m not doing much.

the things you got to do when injured. i hate it. it’s so hard to cut down on the food i take too since i’m not moving much. :( i’ve gained weight, i now weigh more than i ever did! ‘cause i ate the same amount of food but with less exercise. let’s up that starting tomorrow it’ll slowly go back to the way it was before all of this happened.

small goals, one at a time (no particular order):
1) no eating after 8pm
2) eat when i get to school (tuesday)
3) exercise every other day (doesn’t have to be intense of long)
4) drink more water instead of munching 
5) mini workout when i wake up
6) detox once a week

This is the shit I come home to.

But now, at least a decade after many of us have been using cell phones, the IARC comes out and says they're "possibly carcinogenic." Why did it take so long to come to this conclusion? And, perhaps more importantly, why wasn't this work done before we all started spending 19 minutes a day talking on our cell phones?:

The truth is that for most technologies, we don’t wait around to see what the long-term effects will be. We don’t put cell phones on the shelf for a decade or so while epidemiologists carry out controlled studies on their potential carcinogenicity. Most of us — Americans especially, as native early adopters— want the new, and we worry about the potential consequences later.

via Cell Phones: How Precautionary Should Our Principles Be?, Bryan Walsh; Time Magazine

::

Why now, the article asks? Probably because it was a lot easier to sell the phones and associated (expensive!) services after diminishing the brouhaha of “paranoid” freaks who everyone knows are just “out to ruin the fun!” It flabbergasts me that the article does not suggest the financial angle a lot more than it does. Also flabbergasting is blaming the American consumer for wanting newer and better as if they pursue those wants in a vacuum.

So, we are moving next month (38 days from today). We just found out for sure that we were moving 6 days ago. I am a very stressed out person right now. We went to the new town last Wednesday to try to find a place to live. This meant we ate out for lunch and dinner so my diet wasn’t going to great for the day. Problem is, since then I can’t stop putting food in my mouth. It seems like I’ve lost all self control. I haven’t even been able to limit the diet soda I’m drinking. Usually I’m fine with one at dinner, lately I feel like I’m drinking one all day long. To be fair, I printed out a pre-made moving checklist and one of the items was “Start using up food you have stored so there is less to move”. Now I walk through the kitchen telling myself “Well, I don’t want to have to pack this”.

Tomorrow’s plan calls for lots of water, lots of veggies, and no junk.



Banana rolls and Superman/Banana are my BEST FRIEND! And so is core synergistics! My favorite position for sure is lunge-kickback-curl-press. I was rockin’ and rollin’ with my weights and sweatin’ more than Richard Simmons ever could in his short shorts.

Challenge: After this workout, attempt to sweep the floor swiftly with a broom. Tighten your core and obliques. You will feel the burn! :P

So I’ve been sick ever since I had that dish yesterday. So I had to change my plans about the whole diet. But I’m still trying to eat just healthy food, just cooked. I had an apple and a little banana though…Oh! I had watermelon as well :D teehee. The cooked food I had though was brown rice and some pinto beans. I ate the brown rice a couple of times when I was hungry. I told myself, screw my whole time limit about when I should eat and stop eating…I’m going to eat every time I feel hungry, even if it’s just a little until I’m not hungry anymore. I can’t suffer the way I did last night ever again. I was so weak and I couldn’t movie…I had a bad case of…”loose motions”…that’s how I’ll word it because I’m embarrassed about it. I also had a bad headache and felt dizzy…I even almost threw up a couple of times. I was dragging myself and I couldn’t breathe, I just felt so weak. It took me about 5 hours to feel a bit better. I still have a bit of the “loose motions” but I’m much better than yesterday. I don’t care if I have to gain weight to recover my skin and health in general.

I figured something. If my parents, well family, won’t help me with my journey and buy food I need to recover, I’m going to find a job so I can buy it myself. I think it’s the time to find a job at least until school starts again (That’s the only time my parents really give me any pocket money). At least it’ll keep me occupied and stuff for the summer and I won’t feel like a lazy butt. I thought I won’t ever get a job any time soon, not unless I finish my education…but I’m desperate to get better. I mean, finding a job is going to be quite hard these days…but I’ll try my best hunting for one.

You can search throughout the entire universe


“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.”

Buddha

Love yourself and be awake


Love yourself and be awake-
Today, tomorrow, always.

First establish yourself in the way,
Then teach others,
And so defeat sorrow.

To straighten the crooked
You must first do a harder thing-
Straighten yourself.

You are your only master.
Who else?
Subdue yourself,
And discover your master.

Buddha

The human element

I think it’s a luxury to waste time thinking about passages that do not concern one. More than that, it’s the fun part that takes us to places we wouldn’t ever visit. Anyhow, I have been thinking about these lines:

‘Perhaps the mere fact that he was so far below her gave her a sense of freedom in her relations with him that she would have lacked with a man of her own class. The spirit is very strange, it never soars so high as when the body has wallowed for a period in the gutter.’

Quite frankly, I think only the one who has been in this kind of relationship could provide a plausible explanation, but honesty is a rare thing. And it would be really rude to ask such questions. I don’t think it’s rot & these things happen in real life. When we used words like superior & inferior, it sounds quite low on our part. Class difference has always existed. Anyone can click. If it’s really genuine love, then there can’t be any calculations; it would just happen. I suppose you can’t even control it, even when you don’t want it to happen. What can you possibly do when you’re badly attracted towards someone who’s not even your type?

At the same time, there are people who feel good when they are better off than their partners. And maybe there is mental compatibility & connection between such individuals. Or maybe there is some sort of satisfaction.

You can never tell. And so what if you’re a complex! If a thing makes you happy, go for it! But yeah people will talk. They will judge you. That’s what they do.

And you meet gutter anywhere. You don’t have to go searching for it in any specific class.

A tale told by an idiot

‘And sometimes even the fate of human beings is curious to consider…one would have thought what befell them must matter a little to the Life Spirit or whatever else it is that has produced them. An accident befalls them. The thread is broken. The story that began with the world is finished abruptly & it looks as though it meant nothing at all…An incident of no moment, that might easily not have happened, has consequences that are incalculable. It looks as though blind chance ruled all things. Our smallest actions may affect profoundly the whole lives of people who have nothing to do with us.’

Don't let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life...

Relationships work best when they are balanced.
