What a Weekend!

This was a hard weekend. Not because of Mother's Day - my son was great! He is very supportive of my diet and just brought over his own food and we spent the day together. We talked, laughed, watched a movie (Alvin and the Chipmunks)...it was great. My son might be turning 21 next month, but he still likes watching cute movies with us. That makes me happy! :)
It was a hard weekend because I hit another plateau; in addition to my body being so dry and pealing that I am not getting very much sleep. I am soooo itchy. It's driving me crazier than I already am! Even the palms of my hands are pealing! I tried aloe vera and a loufa (sp?) and they don't work for me...
If I hadn't lost weight today, I was going to do my 3 days without shots and then go onto phase 3 so I can get the oils in my body that it needs. But I had a 2 pound loss today, so I will plug along a bit longer. I do wonder if I'm harming my skin by letting it get so dry. I really don't want wrinkles. I've taken very good care of my skin since I was a teenager, and I don't want this time to ruin all that hard work and money.
The weather has still been pretty cold here, but we are supposed to jump up to 90 degrees for 2 days this week, and then back down again. We are talking about heading out to the beach for the day, at least. Who knows when/if the sun will ever come back again, hehe. We love the coast - the waves hitting the big rocks, the roaring sound of the surf, the cry of the gulls...the only problem is that I get ravenously hungry in all that salt air. Maybe I will just build a sand castle and forget about my grumbly tummy. I'll keep you posted. Tootles! =)

You can try one or all of the following - Corn Huskers Lotion the only place I have been able to find this locally is Top Foods. The other is Alba Oil Free Moisturizer - I got this at a really decent price on eBay or Aquaphor, Vasline with glove and socks for the feet and hand. You could also try baby oil just after getting out of the shower while your skin is still wet then wipe off the excess with a towel.
