Don't dwell on the past...learn from it. Don't worry about the future, embrace whatever comes, cherish this moment!

Finishing Strong
Hey All! Birdman here!
Sorry I haven't been writing as much as I hoped. It's a combination of being really busy lately and having a boring life, which makes no sense ...?
The fight against procrastination has gone well! There's still plenty of room for improvement, but I've been using my time more effectively which has resulted in getting all my work done and still getting enough sleep. I find setting goals helps. And just being more mindful about what you're doing. At random times I'll stop and ask myself: Is what I'm doing utilizing my time effectively? Sometimes it helps to think short term too. Every hour you can reflect on what you just did in that hour, and then think about what you want to accomplish in the next hour. It sounds simple, but if you go through the day with that mentality, you can get a lot done ...

Apologies and Patience
As you have probably noticed... I'm once again in a relationship
Many questions probably popped into your head
probably confusion and possibly anger too.....
I apologize to those that have emotional ties to this situation. I truly appreciate all the help I had and support through all this. I have no regrets to anything that has happened in the past two weeks. I'm going to take this time to try and help you understand what has been going on in my heart.
I was that girl... the girl that breaks up with her boyfriend and then wants him back after she realizes how much she loved him... I hated being that girl but that's how it worked out this time. I was plenty angry ...I was plenty jealous.. I was plenty depressed and sad. Trust me... my poor roommate had to hear all of it! As the days went on I realized I could never be just friends with him because of the attachment I still felt inside. I told him I needed time apart... but it just made things worse. I couldn't even sleep in my own bed anymore. I tried making him mad... he called me and ended up making me laugh instead. That's when I realized how much he really cares for me too. I began to think and think and think ... all about him. No one has ever taken over my mind like that before. I tried to figure out why...

A Journey of Personal Independence
Giggles here!
It was all so lovely, so wonderful, so cheery and delightful... yes the summer and the blissful Autumn...
THEN what happened? It was November! November brought the storms, the clouds, the tears, the chocolate and the hard apple cider! Readers of Birdman and Giggles I announce that I broke up with my boyfriend of 4 months. Thanks to mother natures curse of PMS I was strong enough to go along with such an act of courage!
Love is a funny thing.... yes I still love the guy but to tell you the truth.. hes still a kid and has a lot of growing up to do before our relationship could ever continue. This whole break up thing has been a challenge for me.. I've never broke up with anyone that I still loved. Actually this is the first time in 5 years where there is no guy in my life to attach my heart to. My heart it just floating right now in cyber space...what do I do? I really don't want to just keep waiting for the next guy to come along... I feel like its my time to take full and complete control of myself for once... FOR ONCE! Instead of waiting for this storm to pass I should go out there and dance in the rain! INDEPENDENT WOMEN COMING THROUGH....BEWARE WORLD!
Besides breaking out in hives... I'm starting to accept this new challenge thats been placed before me..
Peace and Love,
Giggles:)
Ps: thank you to all those that have been there for me during this hard time! love you!

Reflection of the cleanse!
Key lessons learned by Giggles:
1. You don't need as much food as you think you do
2. Its important to be surrounded by friends that are a good influence and support you in your crazy ideas:)
3. Cooking is magical
4. your body knows when its full.. its just your job to be a good listener and follow its cue
5. livers are awesome!!! (yes I had to do a presentation on live donor liver transplantation and regeneration so if you have any questions relating to the largest gland in the body then let me know:))
6. don't be so worried about finishing your plate...it will either be waste in the garbage or go to waste in your body... your choice... overindulging can cause a loss of homeostasis in the body because the liver can't handle all that. Not enough bile can be secreted to emulsify the fats and its harder for the liver to store all those carbs at once.
7. Ketchup can go with EVERYTHING:)
8. When you eat food the ATP generated from that has two options:
a. energy
b. biosynthesis of cellular components ..this is the one we worry about... darn you fat storages!!!
9. Fruit is the best night time snack!
10. You don't need sweets... the more you eat the more you need and its just a terrible addictive relationship...my mom has recently given me a tea called St. John's Wort Blues Away. This tea is said to promote emotional balance and because of its sweet flavor it has helping my mom and I with our sweet/junk food cravings!
