Day Eighteen

Whoooooo... man. I'm an hour and half late. But, that's ok. Long day, last final of the semester, and I'm coast free until spring session starts. AND THEN I graduate with my AA. Then it's onto my bachelors and masters. Fun times, right? I hope so.

Today wasn't so bad. Much better than the last two days before it. I notice I have this huge craving problem around what should be dinner time in my house; then it gets worse around the late hour when I eat most of my munchies normally. The only good thing? I'm craving Cesar salad in a whole wheat wrap and more green veggies; I can practically taste it in my mouth. That parts sucks. I know I should stop planning everything I want to eat when I'm off this fast, but it feels more like I'm setting healthy goals for myself rather than teasing myself with what I can't have right now. Although, most of the time if does feel like torture. Especially when it makes it really hard to write.

I just keep telling myself I'm almost to the halfway point. And if I can make it thirty days, surely I can make it another to my birthday, right? Yes, I can. That's what I say.

But, by no means is any of this easy for me. At all.

Well, Gary's pains got worse. It's up and down. BUT, we did figure out it's more than likely an infection. And with all the iron we're taking it? Apparently that can increase and feed an internal infection. Green tea can stop the iron consumption on the infection's part. We also found out that oil of oregano is very good at killing an internal infection. Thus, tomorrow we're going to have Gary drink about 3 8 oz glasses of green tea a day, then mix two tablespoons of EVOO a day with a few drops of oil of oregano over the course of the next few days. I'm hoping we'll see a vast improvement in about a few days to a week. I'll be sure to let you guys know. Because, man, the poor guy can't take much more. And it's really starting to break me up.

So far, so good. Day 18 is over and now we're into day 19. Only 12 whole days (if you don't count 19 totally) until I can weigh in.

As always, thanks for reading and wish me luck.
