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.
O wow. I can't believe nobody has commented on this post yet. This is such a great blog! I think it's because DE is something most people have not heard about.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your blog.It's a great thing you're doing. All of the other articles are all by people who make money off of it, so your blog is the pretty much the only reliable source of information about DE.
I'm so sorry for your lost of your Aunt and roommate. I hope you will feel better soon both physically and emotionally, and I wish luck for your education and new relationship.
I completely agree with Angela. I stayed up and read your entire blog. This is an incredible story. I just started taking DE today, hoping to lower my blood pressure, too. You have been through so much! I am so glad you have your faith to carry you through. I am so sorry for your loss and I'm hoping for all to be well with you. I am hoping to read more of your blog. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteok i just finished reading your blog. it inspired me to start writing a blog. if nothing else to just get my thoughts out there. i hope things are going great for you would be nice to get another update if possible on how you are doing i know this started off on your experience with DE however i think that it kind of turned into a bit more of a way to just allow your thoughts to get out there. you seem like an awesome woman who went through a lot of pain in a short amount of time and hope things are getting better for you in life with all that you were hoping to achieve in life
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loses. I do hope you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteI am wondering, is it hard to swallow? Have you ever gotten it in the "wrong" pipe while you drink it? I only ask because sometimes this happens to me. I am a little worried about what would happen if this happened while I was drinking it.
ReplyDeleteI find that it is not hard to swallow at all. It just has a bit of a gritty texture, but if it is mixed well with whatever you drink then you should barely notice more than the texture and maybe a sandy feeling once the drink is finished.
DeleteThank you to everyone for your kind words. I am doing much better now, and I will hopefully be posting regularly again.
