My life is an exercise in patience.

I only worked out once this week. Clark has been sick, demanding most of my time, and he’s not sleeping well. (Shocker). I’ve been exhausted.

I’ve gained a few pounds since starting the exercise and no sugar thing 25 days ago.

My skin is different, and it’s weird.

I have good skin. I always have, enough that it gets noticed, which can be embarrassing. I take good care of it. But it’s different all of the sudden. It looks better. It’s clearer, but also smoother, firmer, like my small pores are even smaller. All over my body. I don’t know how to better describe it than that. Also, it’s oilier. It seems like the one should negate the possibility of the other, but I have clearer, oilier skin. When I rub my fingers across my forehead, or rub my nose, it feels oily.

IT’S SO DISGUSTING!

I’ve never had oily skin. It’s creeping me out.

So, I don’t really know what to do with that. My body feels the same, even though I’m trying really hard. My skin is changing, which I’m sure is a sign that other things in my body are changing. I just don’t know what they are.

I’m going to keep plugging along. But it’s getting really, really annoying to be working so hard and not seeing any positive changes.

How was your week?
