So last week I had a bout of breakouts.  At first I thought it was cashews because all signs pointed to the dreaded cashew.  I was heartbroken.  Then I cut them out and I still broke out.  So I went and had a blood test that came back with “yes you are having an allergic reaction” (well no shit.  I didn’t need a bloodtest to tell me that).  So then they ran a test for all food allergies (nuts, dairy, wheat, shellfish etc) and the regional grasses and pollens.  Nada!  So I’m officially not allergic to anything.

Well as for this week, I have not broken out yet.  I think I’m just going to keep an eye on it and if it happens again then I suppose I get to start the long process of what the heck is causing this!

Okay I mean I kinda knew in the back of my mind that it couldn’t be food.  I mean for the past month and a half I’ve been eating about as healthy as I have been (notice I didn’t say as you can get!)  No processed anything, no dairy, no sugar, no grains, NOTHING!  And the fact that I write everything that goes in my mouth down, it was pretty easy to figure out. (okay except for the jump on the fictitious cashew allergy that I totally panicked over.  I think I almost wanted it to be that so it was cut and dry and nothing crazy.)

So outside of that little tidbit of drama.  All is going well. Except for my husband walking into the house with Wendy’s this evening….I proceeded to chase him down the stairs and spray the house with air freshener to remove the smell of bacon cheeseburger and fries.  I mean honestly!

I have started doing the regular exercise of the world.  I forgot that I missed it.  I had a bit of trouble last week getting started, but am back on track this week.  I can’t believe how weak and out of shape I got in a month!
