Getting
... Healthy ...

I have been diagnosed with insulin resistance and PCOS. This makes it difficult to lose weight, but I am trying my best to get healthy again. Unfortunately, I am also gluten intolerant and have allergies to several other foods - tomatoes and peppers. I hope that 2009 is FINALLY the year that I get healthy. You can read my plans for healthier living in this post. My eating plan will be from The Insulin Resistance Diet book. It will include no added sugar and a focus on whole foods. I have a sugar addiction so this will be tough at first! Other books that I will be following include The 3-Hour Diet, the Superfoods books and The 12 Best Foods Cookbook.

Starting weight: 1/4/09 - 161.6 lbs.

... FINALLY!! An answer to my itchy fingers ... woo-hoo! ...
Posted in Healthy Living

I've been so fed up with my itchy fingers this week and so I spent a few hours last night and this morning typing all kinds of things into Google to see what came from it and I think that I finally have a diagnosis of the skin condition on my fingers. It is called dyshidrosis - the pictures and descriptions on the internet are the EXACT match for what I am suffering through. I am lucky that I do NOT have this on my feet ... my gosh, I can't imagine going through that. I also have itching on my arms and lower legs, but I think that is just eczema and/or allergies.

I'm thinking of putting myself through an eating regimen that will take out dairy and wheat for a few weeks. Not my first choice of action, but if the symptoms lessen, then I'll know that I may be dealing with some dietary issues as well. The Lansinoh that my sister recommended is helping some - I need to find a pair of cotton gloves to wear at night to help. Cerave lotion is good for using throughout the day, too. I'll be seeing my Dr. tomorrow for a check-up and am going to discuss this with him to see if he recommends a follow-up with the dermatologist or anything. I'm going to try some of the things recommended on this page ... boy, I hope that some of it works!

Kris, check Walmart for the cotton gloves. This is where I found mine. I think they are in the area with the loofah and bath stuff. Good luck!

Hi Kris,
I use to get a little out break on my hand. oh did it itch, I would rub until the sores were purple and then it would not itch but hurt like the dickens. My first time i got it had a handful of Lilac branches, I thought thats what caused it. That was some 20 years ago. I have had about three or four sense then and none for some years now. And it seem when I was stressed out, so that might be something to look into as well.

Now you might want to give a product called Miracle II
you can get it at a health food store. It does a lot of good things , its a soap , and theres other Miracle II products. And thinking about it I haven't had a breakout for the many years that I have use this product, and I have been stressful at times, lol.

Thank you for all that info cuz I never knew what I had either and although I just had a couple of small bumps on my lower palm side of my thumb it was very painful, so I can imagine how the ones in the pictures felt, oh my.

My prayers for your recovery and no more outbreaks . hugs

... Schedules ...



:: My Daily Schedule::

6:00am - get kids up and get ready for the day
7:30am - kids to school
8-9am - errands/homekeeping
9-Noon - work
Noon - Lunch/homekeeping
1-2:30pm - finish up work, if needed

The afternoons vary depending upon our evening schedules, but they are generally spent helping the kids with their homework, exercising several afternoons a week, getting dinner ready, homekeeping, etc.

6pm - dinner & clean kitchen
7pm - final email check for work

The rest of the evening is spent straightening the house for the next day, finishing up homework with the kids, and relaxing by the TV or with a good book! I need to make some time for my hobbies, but I'm really enjoying reading books right now!

Housekeeping
:: Schedule::

I use the Motivated Moms Planner for my daily schedule. My children have weekend chores which really helps me a LOT! I do laundry as it fills the sorter and straighten the house every morning and evening.

:: Exercise Plan ::
My basic plan is 30 minutes of cardio daily and strength training 4 days weekly. I also hope to do yoga 1-2 times weekly.
