So it’s been a week since I lost my best friend and the best freakin dog ever. Certain things are just not the same around here. I’m sure time will heal that, but it just really sucks ass. Friskey (the cat) is taking this hard as well. They had a “Garfield/Odie” type relationship. Friskey is sitting in her spot a lot and has pretty much been following me around like glue.

So the lifestyle change update. REBOOT!!!!! Hit my 30 days and and now on Stage 2. Down 17 pounds and 10 inches since June 16th. I’m keeping on the same eating program….not adding anything back in yet. I can add dairy, but I really don’t miss it and wasn’t really a huge dairy fan to begin with. (Ice cream and I never got along). But I cut out the nightshade vegetables which really isn’t a huge thing since I don’t eat them anyway. So I am just going to keep doing what I’m doing. Need to really make sure I get this exercise thing going. I know it would be best to do this first thing in the morning. But I’m having a heck of a time getting my butt out of bed.

Now for the exciting news of the week. (ha!) So on Tuesday at work I break out in a rash. Of course my first thought is I’m allergic to something. So I’m thinking cashews since they have given me problems before. Then Wednesday at the same time the same thing. But I didn’t have any cashews. Thursday no rash at all. Today rash. Went to the lab today to have blood drawn to see what might be going on. Guess I’ll see what happens this weekend at home. If nothing happens then it’s something at work. If it happens at home it’s more. I’ve eliminated that it could be any food so who knows.
