Oh, well

Forget about the reference in the message below to the widget graphic on the lower right - it seems to have vanished. I'll have to see if I was able to save it to my HD at the time and if I did, I'll post it in the future.

Nothing happening on the food and weight loss front. My doc is weaning me off my hypothyroid supplement so I was told to expect a slight weight gain. It's been 2 days and already the scale is up 3 pounds. Then again, yesterday was Valentine's Day and hubby brought home chocolate fudge brownies (mine), cream filled donuts (his) and sprinkle donuts (the kid's). I ate 2, hubby ate 3, and the kid ate 6. There are 2 donuts left and I already told my boys that they better have them finished by this evening's garbage run or they're being tossed. The kid assured me they'll make a nice dessert to his lunch today.

My rosacea is getting worse. It started within a week of my first dose of Synthroid and its severity was independent of the dosage. Hopefully when all the synthetic thyroid is out of my system in a few days the skin will start to clear. The doc gave me a script for Metrogel ointment, but with all the warnings and side effects I'd rather stick with washing in clear water and using the aloe vera gel, especially since a lot of the pustules are so close to my eyes and mouth. When I hit the HFS tomorrow I'll look for an all-natural cleanser and moisturizer and make sure it's fragrance-free so it doesn't start aggravating the asthma like some other products, like Noxema, do.
