  1. Feeling better

    by on 08-18-2008 at 12:18 PM (Emma-Liza's Journal)
    I am feeling better today (day 6!) finally. I'm still home from work because my fever keeps spiking a bit, so I don't think I'm uncontagious yet. Is that a word? I have the most violent cough. I thought I'd pop a blood vessel in my eyeball last night. I broke down and took some extremely strong prescription syrup and haven't coughed hardly at all since.

    I did have cravings today. I just try not to entertain the thoughts.

    I had some blood work done recently and found out yesterday that I have high cholesterol. bummer. I'm hoping this raw food ...

  5. Day 26 and 27

    It's been very busy at work, and with family obligations not a lot of time to log on the past couple of days. Yesterday (26) I went to my nephew's birthday party. I brought some of my own food, and ate a lot of fruit and salad that my mom had made. Wasn't even really tempted by the baked desserts. I ate: raw food bar, nut pate and hummus with romaine leaves, goji berries, peppermint truffle, watermelon, salad, apple amd figs.

    Today (27) was probably the most difficult day in terms ...
