7 more days to go

7 more days and counting and God is still good!!

• POOP - I'm back to only one bowel movement first thing in the morning
• MEDS - all meds taken timely
• MOOD - my mood was so/so while at work and GREAT when I got home. I attest this to the fact that it's crunch time at work and we're grading final exams, submitting grades, lesson plans, books, and a host of other end-of-the year stuff.
• EXERCISE - Well, I knew it was going to be a challenge. The only exercise I got was walking around in my classroom, school and the grocery store.
• COMMENTS - One of my co-workers stopped me, stared into my face and said, "you are whittling away". I said, "yes, I'm going back to my normal weight." She then continued along the lines of telling me that I looked great, that my face was radiant, that my eyes were glowing, and that I really looked well. My Uncle Rodney came to our church on Sunday and when I went to greet him, he said the same thing. I just thank God that He's healing me from the inside out and that it shows ;-)

As I stated in a previous post, my little cousin is also detoxing and it's so funny; everything that she's texted me about (mood, cravings, fatigue) I've also experienced and in some cases, still experiencing. She's on the beginning of her journey but because she's doing a 10 day detox, it seems like her symptoms are happening 2x as fast as mine did. I'm glad that we are going through this process together and we're both looking forward to our complete and total healing...VICTORY, VICTORY SHALL BE OURS!

RASH OR NO RASH...THAT IS THE QUESTION. I had just drank my activated charcoal and was getting ready for bed (tonight) and my husband told me he was hungry, and didn't want anything that was in the house. So I called the Chinese place and ordered it for pick-up.  I didn't want it to take a day and a half with delivery, so I opted to pick it up...why did I do that?! When I arrived at the restaurant, the food wasn't ready and it seemed like the place was infested with those gnatty, annoying pests called bugs. I immediately felt myself getting bit...over and over and over again.  When I got home, I threw off my clothes and jumped into the shower - I noticed whelps and scratches forming and my skin was burning. THIS will be the true testament to whether or not a rash forms as I've always believed that they've started with a bug bite but over the years, my thinking changed. Regardless of any of this, I STILL trust God and have already claimed my healing and victory and on that note...

Be blessed.

Ohhh, I almost forgot to mention. I shared a couple of weeks ago that I raced my 3rd graders during field day and was limping for a little bit. Well, what I forgot to add is that I'm STILL limping, and my knee feels like it's out of whack. I have an appointment with an orthopedic doctor next week. I hurt my knee last January when I had an incident at work and I believe I've re-injured it.  You would think with all of this healing that I've been experiencing that I would have used a little more wisdom. I guess it was because I was feeling pretty good that made me think I could walk on water. Actually that was the 1st day of my detox and I was so optimistic and excited about the upcoming journey that I went ALL in LOL...I've learned my lesson.

Good night and be blessed again ;-)
