Be careful not to eat more than one egg a day unless you want to smell like a sulfur garden.Sorry folks, but this blog is about the whole truth: the good, bad, and the ugly.
Today's eats:
- scrambled egg with spinach and nopalitos (I'm really on a nopalito kick these days!)
- 1/2 plain bagel with pumpkin spice cream cheese
- a few tasty bites from my very own spicy tuna salad recipe
- Roma tomato and celery salad with dried rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon and olive oil
- Breakfast burrito: scrambled eggs, cheese, ham, tortilla
- 4-5 glasses of water, cup of peppermint tea
Exercise:
- I took my dogs for a 6 mile walk, and when they got home they still wanted to run around for 5 minutes
On a less than stellar note, last night I went to bed nauseous and with a massive headache. I know it was the caffeine withdrawal kicking my bootay like something fierce. But it's gone. Thankfully and finally.
Throughout today I had milder versions of those headaches.
Ate lotsa eggs today, enough eggs for the week I think. Did not make my steak and brown rice...perhaps I'll do that tomorrow.
On a mental note, I'm starting to experience a little more clarity. Although I had envisioned this highly productive day of well, let's just say, I don't want to share it at this point, forgive me, I managed to get a few things checked off my to-do list, in one way or another at least.
Admittedly, with this project I've focused on a rather boring topic: daily diet. But what about the skin care approach to solving acne woes? Tonight I'm going to try (like on previous occasions) putting lemon juice on my spots. Clinique came out with a spot reducing product that I'd like to try but sadly cannot afford at the moment. Whatever. I'll see if the natural way works first.
On a positive note, I think my dark circles are getting lighter. Could be wishful thinking but I think there's a tiny bit of progress in that department.
Thinking I should have a piece of fruit before I go to bed, but I'm just feeling too full from that burro.
Snuggles and Gas,

Hi, Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteThought I'd come over here and see you.
I'll check out your other blogs as well!
Regarding acne: See if you can get a script for Clindamycin solution. It's topical. You apply it to the spots and they clear up MUCH faster than any other way. Since it's topical, the antibiotic doesn't get in your system and mess you up.
I never did outgrow my acne. I still have the occasional outbreak at age 61. (Sheesh.) I swear by that Clindamycin stuff. (Oh, yes. It comes in generic now.)
Hi Ellie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I've never tried Clindamycin. It could work. I'm going to try this overhaul of my diet before I go the prescription route. Maybe milk and dairy is the culprit? Maybe it's stress? Or maybe my hormones are bezerk.
As far as internal prescriptions, I tried accutane a number of years ago and it had some amazing results! Even the scarring started to go away. But whenever I leaned forward I would get thsee intense chest pains, and I thought, I'm too young (21 at the time) to have chest pains!! As did my roommate at the time -- she was on it for her acne and although she had some awesome results as well, she had chest pains, too....So from my brief experience I would recommend to anyone reading this to seriously consider the risks of accutane before venturing that way.
I've tried a number of topical creams -- maybe your recommendation might do the trick!
Thanks!
Best wishes,
Jennifer
