Health Update

[cosplay_hunter]

You may (or may not ) remember the fun I had last year with my health.  Well, since then there's been good news and potentially bad news.

Good news:

- Earlier this month, my hematologist finally took me off blood anti-coagulation medication (I was on that stuff for just over a year).  Now we just "wait and see what happens next".  If I have another

WOW I'm hoping for the best hun! So basically your doc put you on the atkins diet :P My boyfriend Matt was just on it and it is hard but he was on it for about a month and decided that he is going to try to work out more and eat better.

Just remember to drink lots of water and non green tea stuff with no sugar! ^_^ wait does that mean no bubble tea?!?! NOOOOO!!!!

oh and are you going to AE nexxt month?

[cosplay_hunter]

Actually, I've been increasing my water intake as a separate, personal resolution.

Bubble tea?? DOH!! *facepalm*
I totally forgot about bubble tea! OTL I'll just have to add that to my after-diet hitlist... -_-;

As far as AE goes, I'll most-likely be there Sat-Sun (I'm still working out arrangements - things may change).

Thanks - me too!!! LOL

Fish oil, eh? I'll check that out - thanks! ^^

The diet is more like a modified version of Atkins. Carbs are not totally cut out. Things like pasta, white rice (brown rice ok),... anything made with white flour (I have special low-carb bread for sandwiches). As far as sugars go, no processed sugars or syrups (oddly enough some artificial sweeteners are ok). Fruits are normally ok, but since the doc also wants me to lose weight, it's recommended only in moderation.

It's not all torture - I managed to find a zero-carb chocolate alternative that's actually pretty decent! ^__^

I ♥ you Jim and am really hoping that only the best is in store for you. Last year was such a scare, and I am glad that there is some good news for you lately. n-n Even though there is some tough stuff to go through right now, I know you can do it, cause you are awesome and, well... Jim! Take care of yourself ya hear? <33

And even if it's not pretty, it will be epic!!

[cosplay_hunter]

Thank you!!! *hugs* <333

Hopefully, I don't have to go through that again! This diet thing is minor - I'll be done with it by June, so that means that I can (maybe) put together a somewhat decent Buccha cosplay... :P

Hey! When are we going to hang out again? We still need to finish Narutaru (oh, old cracked series)! XD
