Last Night Was a blast..me & my little sister slept over at my best friends house!! We took over 100 pictures , just being silly and dressing up. it feels good to be finally getting out of the house and doing things i haven't done in a while because of everything i've been through. I'm Doing so much better, i'm going outside, getting up in the morning and actually getting dolled up like i use to. I've made so much progress in the last few months, i couldn't have asked for a better family to support me and help me through everything! We Are heading out to Glamis in 4 days and i can't wait.... driving, riding dunes, spending time with the family, best friend, and cousins!! Did i mention I have lost over 26 lbs. yeah i know I'm Awesome.. haha I Weigh 130 now instead of 156.. my personal trainer, Jeff is Amazing he strives me through the workouts , even when i want to stop and take a breather. I'm blessed that hes my trainer. I HOPE everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

About Me
My Everyday Liife
Welcome to a part of my lupie life... its been a journey and i cant say a very easy one. this blog is going to show you anything is possible and even with a chronic illness you can still go out and explore this world. getting diagnosed with lupus isn't something that is planned it just happens and i cant give you a reason on why. i got sick at the age of 15 years old just a freshman in high school with no expectation of going through a life changing experience. i never had a chance to really process or cry the way i wanted when i got sick i had to be strong and react to take care of myself right away. so that's why i have this blog to write my emotions and share my feelings and experiences in the best way i know how and that's writing....i want other lupus warriors to know you aren't in this alone we all are in this together. it took me a couple years to post pictures of me at my worse times when i was swollen from the medications but i'm not ashamed of them because i know when i look back it shows how much i 'accomplished in the last few years. so i here to show you my absolute worse times and my best times. i hope this helps you understand me more and help you warriors as well.

Dreams Do Come True!
So The lupus walk went great!!! i walked all three miles!! 5K HAHA! & my best friend Mireya, my uncle David, my nana, papa, & my little sister all came to support me in my first lupus event!! it was amazing! I met so many people like me, and people who have had lupus for years and years to where ive only had it 11 months & i'm still adjusting ! its been a rough few months but with the support of my family and best friend i've gotten through it all ! i went through 1 month in the hospital, a low sodium diet, Tons of medicine to barley none at all, to puffy cheeks and a swollen body to the point i wouldn't even walk outside with out feeling insecure. i'm so glad i'm out and communicating with the world that i've been missing for what seems like FOREVER! For every patient or person who has lupus, i'm gonna tell you what i've experienced & learned, just don't be insecure about what you look like and don't ever doubt yourself that your not gonna be somebody, because i know i have dreams and i''m sure you do to , so go after them because NO BODY IS PERFECT!

Losing Weight!
Hey Guess What Everyone Last Friday I lost 5 lbs. I was so thrilled and happy, but it wasn't because i was working out or exercising. It was because I've been really sick and down in bed. But i managed to keep a good diet and get better through out the week! I'm Doing Awesome And today i tried on a pair a pants that were too small for me before but now they fit perfect, I was jumping and running and dancing in Joy!!! Today At 3pm I'm going to gym again to work my booty off, and succeed to lose more weight and be FIT again!! Can't wait!!

Returning the News!
hey everyone its me checking in again, sorry i haven't posted lately but its been kinda crazy these past few months. But i just got back from my doctors appointment with my doctor, and it went wonderful! Dr.shaham is a great doctor and said my lupus health is in great progress and I'm doing excellent. IM super healthy and nothing is going wrong so thats a relief. they also lowered my medicine again, my steroids are cut down to only 25 milligrams in the morning =] and she completely cut out my carafate pills, now instead of taking medicine morning, afternoon, evening, and bedtime i only take pills in the morning and evening. That made me so happy, and I'm glad the medicine is slowly being lowered. I broke down a little in the doctors visit, i had to talk about how i don't get out much and hang out with my friends and be more outdoors, the reason why i don't do that stuff anymore is because my appearance has changed from the steroids and now i think I'm just very self conscience, and i know i shouldn't be but it just makes me wonder what other people say when they se me. And i get nervous and kinda emotional because i really miss being outdoors and getting out of the house. But my social worker and my nana really helped me through the visit and told me that i shine inside and out with great beauty, and i know if i just be myself my personality is all i need to keep my confidence up and everything will be okay! =] Im going to start writing again and being more like myself instead of the shell i was being. I miss the old me mor than i think i should, because i think I've grown to be so much stronger and look at the world in many more ways ever since i was diagnosed with LUPUS! I also started reading again, i stopped reading when igot diagnosed for some reason and haven't really acknowledged a book in a longtime. BUT now you can't get me away from a book, haha i just finished my book destined it goes to my series of the house of night by p.c cast and kristen cast, and oh my gosh it was great but now i got to way till October for the next book, which really displeases me. and today i finished a book called goddess of the seas, its also by p.c cast and it was a amazing. haha its a new series i just started. My homeschooling is going great, i have good grades and I'm going to be graduating from it pretty SOON! then i wil be a 10th grader, thats kinda scary to think about haha time passes by so fast these days, you gotta make sure you spend every second of it with great effort and love. Well imma go watch a movie and relax for the day, ill be back and tell you more news as soon as i can! See ya

HomeSchooling Started!
So my home studies finally started yesterday, and my tutor came and we got everything set up on the computer. His name is Mr.Pound and he comes twice a week, Mondays & Thursdays at 1p.m. and they are 2 hour sessions every time. I am taking 3 courses at the moment algebra, English, and business, so far I think its kind of hard! But I did my assignments today and its a lot of writing and essays, which kind of bores me but I know I got to get through these studies and graduate with my class.When I am done with those courses I will get more and then succeed in those. So wish me luck and hopefully the studies and assignments will get easier and I will get everything I can done to be great in school & catch up with all my work and grades! Toodle Loo!! =]

Backk From The Dunes!
Hey I'm back from Glamis, it was a great trip and I had a blast with my family! It was kind of hard for me though, because it was really hot and I had to be real careful about the sun! I had to stay in a trailer or be all covered in the shade during afternoon hours, which really sucked because that's when everyone was having most of the fun! But I got to ride and have fun in the morning & evening, my papa taught me how to drive the razor! It was so much fun, I rode the dunes and he taught me a few tricks too. We had great food to, the first night we ate hamburgers, then we had chilli cheese dogs and those were really good! But over all smores night was awesome, I had smores with my cousin Miriam, we sat next to the camp fire and ate like piggy's! It felt good to get out and finally have an adventure with my family, my first lupus trip outdoors! I only had a few minor pains while i was there, but my back pains were getting pretty bad. but i think that was from riding the dunes and stuff. On the last day, we were getting all packed and started to head HOME. But we got stuck in dead traffic for 7 hours straight, it was horrible! The car ride really tore me up, I had a bad headache and back pains like crazy, right when we got home I crashed out. I kind of flared up from the sun, I was getting the butterfly rash again and a breakout of redness on my face. But I'm doing god right now, I feel good and I had an amazing time while I was in Glamis, so that's all that matters! I hope to do more adventures and just the strong Stasia I know I am. GLAMIS BABY!!!!! =] (Oh and in the picture its Me Driving and my cousin Miriam beside me.)

Also, my papa is going to teach me how to drive in our new razor, its just like a car, hopefully I past the test haha.
