My doctor’s appointment was very positive.  I left with one clear ear, and the other is now making that crackling sound that it does before it clears.  Basically, it was just a build up of wax.  I will continue with ear candling and peroxide and hopefully I won’t have this problem again.

My rash needs to be tested by pathology, but the doctor is pretty sure it’s what I’ve been treating myself for, a conditon called Malassezia furur or Pityriosis versicolor.  It’s a difficult one to treat.  Basically, I’ll be washing myself with Head&Shoulders shampoo for the next couple of months.

My eating patterns this wek were a great improvement on last week, although I really do need to work on my breakfasts.  Toast with jam and a large coffee ar not the ideal way to start the day.  I really need to get that lemon juice in water thing happening, and hook into the porridge.  Can’t say I’m a fan of porridge in Summer, though.  And I just can’t seem to kick the sugar on my Weet-bix thing.

I’ve been snacking on my trail -mix and have noticed that DM is enjoying it as well.  I haven’t eaten a cake or a sweet biscuit since tea at my parents’ house last weekend.  And I haven’t really craved sweet stuff, either.  I’m having trouble with dinner though.  With the kids away and DM working late, I could quite easily skip dinner altogether.  But I’ve cooked, even if it is a bit later than when the girls are home.  I even did well when out for tea on Wednesday.  We went for Chinese, and rather than ordering noodles as per usual, I ordered 2 entrees, vegie rolls and vegetarian hot & sour soup.  I was very satisfied by the end of the meal and did not feel bloated whilst at the movies, as I normally would.  I also refused the Jumbo box of popcorn, although I did have a choc top!

My energy levels have been great this week.  I had a headache once, propably due to diminished vitamin levels, but other than that, I’ve felt great.  Now all I need to work on, is throwing some exercise into the mix.  Yoga starts next week. Yahoo!!
