frumpy and slumpy.

Thats exactly how I feel lately. Just in a rut. Physically, I am just completely drained. I am feeling fat, lazy, scraggly, bulky and dry (my skin is horribly dry and I look like ashes.) I am SO needing a makeover. I wish I could afford to go to the gym, then to the spa, get a body wrap and then a massage, head over Aveda and get my hair done and then off to get mani's and pedi's. I can dream though right? I am thinking that I need to definetly start working out. I think one of the main factors is I have pretty much stopped drinking water since I moved in with my parents. I dont know why that is, aside from the fact that at work we had filtered water that I would drink around 100 ounces a day of and then at the apt rudy and I bought large jugs of water. I guess I dont like the way faucet water tastes and am too broke to afford bottled water everyday. Anyways, i need to get back in to the routine of 8-10 glasses a day- I felt so much better. Also, being off my meds due to no insurance I am sure is playing a role, plus its winter and that never helps. IDK, Maybe Ill die my hair at home and try some home spa remedies. Rudy's main Christmas present to me was supposed to be a super nice juicer. Well, I was the one tracking the order since he let me pick out which one I wanted and just order it myself. This was the beginning on Dec. Nope- UPS lost it, that JUST MY LUCK. SO for the past 3 weeks I have been calling the company 3-4 times a week checking to see if they shipped my replacement one yet and they keep saying the shipment is pending. ITs rediculous and their customer service sucks and it takes forever to get through because if there are no reps available it says "thanks for calling, due to high call volume, we can not take your call. Goodbye." and it hangs up. ITs just nuts. Im so ticked off. TOday I called and cancelled the order all together and told them I want my money back. So, now I have no juicer. Im super mad because I was really looking forward to doing juice fasts of veggies and fruits this year. I guess maybe I can find another one i like with the money I get back.

Also, this might not be something to blog about but I am curious if anyone has tried this. I am interested in doing a whole body cleanse. I am pretty convinced I have a parasite (been doing lots of reasearch and it seems to fit the bill....also they can cause hypothyroid and hypoglycemia as well as water retention, puffy belly, headaches, muscle aches, fatigue etc.) all things I have. So I wanted to start doing a 60 day body cleanse. You start with a colon cleanse, then parasite cleanse, then liver, kidney and galbladder and blood. It sounds prety easy but I am a little worried about the first two!!! Has any of you dont this? Its not like cleaning out with laxatives or for a colonscopy- its way different. They also suggest coffee enimas- apparently it activates the liver and gets it clean without the bad cafine going into your system?!? Not sure. What are your thoughts? ever tried this? If I do it, I am sure it will be a big blog topic so get prepared! :) I just need to start feeling better and I figure with all the drugs/radiation etc that has been put into my (along with unhealthy foods etc) I should probably do my body a favor and rid myself of some of the toxins. When I had my endoscopy a few years ago they said that there was apool of bodily toxins just sitting in my stomach and my body doesnt seem to realease them. Strange. But it makes sense with how I feel. Anyways, enough ranting.
I am off to meet a friend for coffee. (healthy, no?)

you should go to the doctor...they can tell you in you have a parasite and may be able to start you off with meds. sounds like a complicated process. good luck. i know about feeling frumpy and all that. i feel like that a lot. must be the time of year....
