I have received several comments asking how I am doing, and if I am okay. I realize it has been a long time since I have been back here.
The main reason I have been gone so long is that I have not been taking DE regularly, so there is really nothing to report. I don't know why, but I just keep forgetting to take it every morning. Though I do notice that, when I do remember to take it I feel better overall and my energy and motivation are generally up. Unfortunately, it seems I only take it once or twice a week.
The only changes I have noticed when not taking DE, other than my energy being a bit lower, is that I have put on a few pounds. I am averaging about 255, and I had been down to about 245 at one point. My blood pressure was 145/101 last time I took it, so not having the DE regularly does not seem to be having any effect on it at the moment. Both of my knees are pretty much back to normal, and not taking DE regularly does not seem to be having any negative effect on them either. I guess once they finally healed, they don't necessarily need the DE to stay healed.
In other areas of my life, I am still recovering from losing my roommate (I can't believe that it has already been 10 months since he died) and my aunt. I pretty much failed the entire last semester in school, and I really don't know when I will be going back. Hopefully next semester, but I will have to wait and see about that.
The best thing that has happened for me though is that the friend I spoke of in my last post is now my boyfriend. We live in different states at the moment, but are working on visiting each other in the near future, and hopefully he will be moving down here not long after that. It is a huge change in both of our lives, so this is something we are taking slowly and working on carefully.
Other than that, not much to tell. I am going to try to get back into the habit of taking DE regularly, so I will probably be back soon to post any results I get from taking DE again.
