Alkavorian
That's what I am...an alkovorain. Sounds kinda cool doesn't it?! Like something off Star Trek. Or maybe some super race with magical powers and the like! Ya know, I think I can feel magical powers comin' on! I'm just about to the three week mark and things are going pretty darn good. I think I'm starting to get used to eating like this. The breakfast shake is getting better and better all the time and the salads are great! The only things I still have trouble with are the dinners. They don't have any recipes I like so it's really tough. If I had my way I'd just have salads and cut up veggies for lunch, dinner and snacks. That does get a little monotonous after a while though and I feel like if I don't have a change I might go insane, but it's working so hey I'm gonna shut my mouth and enjoy the ride! This week started Monday when I woke up to excruciating back pain. Turns out church just about broke my back! So I started doing some stretches and things to help it and it got more sore. Turns out my muscles, or the lack thereof, didn't want to do anything! Then my mom had the great idea of visiting Ken and Robins pool. That felt SO good! The first day I basically just floated around and relaxed. The next day I was able to do more so I swam the length of their pool a few times. The following day, yesterday, was the same story, and guess what, my back is so much better than it was. It still hurts, especially when I sit up for a long time but it's much better than it was! I'm so happy I'm feeling better! I haven't felt this good in a year, and everyday gets a little better! I guess it's time to get that muscle back!!

I've got two words for you -- yo-ga. Yes, yoga. When I had a serious back injury, I started doing yoga and it helped me with both my strength and flexibility. Plus, it helped me keep my girlish figure. Besides, I hear yoga is what all the "alkovorains" are doing. And you know what they say: "when in alkovorainia ..." (Where is that anyway? It sounds like a former Russian republic?)
Ya know, that's a great idea! I hadn't even thought of that. I've been a bit worried about my girlish figure ha ha ;) it sounds like that's just what I'm looking for!!
My dad did yoga after his back injury and he still looks manly so no worries. I'm so glad you are felling better. Finally!
Ammo, I am so glad you are feeling better and that you got to have salmon on your birthday, although that chocolate, avacado stuff sounds very strange. Your family has created quite a style/culture of cooking. I am really glad you are feeling better though!
Love ya tons.
alkavorian...oh that definitely sounds magical...like rainbows and ponies. :D
