Wednesday 3 February

Can you believe it….just eaten some homemade leek and potato soup and I’m flushing like a beetroot – was a little hot temperature wise – could this be it???  Only time will tell, I will have to remember to eat it lukewarm tomorrow – but soup on a cold winter day, lukewarm doesn’t sound that appealing.  The thought of salad for lunch and dinner, even with my sprouting seeds will send me loopy.

Last night I had sweet potato wedges and mushrooms, yes I did have crisps, the tomato and herb ones – which I discovered after I had devoured over half the large bag that they contained yeast…which is a no no since my last food allergy testing.

Went to the gym this morning but didn’t do that great – my period is always heavy and I felt uncomfortable and paranoid so my concentration wasn’t on exercising.

I know that I shouldn’t touch my skin, but sometimes I just can’t help it – it can be to cool it down with my cold hands, feel if I have lumps or bumps or to feel its texture.  I had read on a forum that its best to keep away from touching or washing it too often – I tend to wash my face around 3 times a day but I quickly put jojoba oil on it afterwards to retain the moisture in my skin.

My hands are constantly dry and I do apply hand cream on a regular basis – do any other Rosaceans suffer from dry hands?  Or any other part of their body?

Haven’t consumed a huge amount of water, but have had several cups of chamomile tea, a green tea and jasmine and a black coffee – I will endeavour to drink more water this afternoon.  I’m travelling down to Worcester for a meeting this evening – its about a 100 mile round trip and will not get back till late – so perhaps this will be a good time to say that I won’t have any crisps today – in the safety that there will not be any around.
