katie's progress

Had a great week!  I broke out on Thursday, about 3 days ago, with about 6 small pus pimples that are all going down now.  I've started keeping track of what I eat each day and how my habits change so I can try to identify what might prompt breakouts.  The way I see it, even if I break out every now and then, they're much less severe and infrequent, so my skin is healing overall slowly but surely.  Also, I had a wonderful thought this week: my improved skin condition is a result of my body's overall better wellbeing!!! I'm doing something right to make my body happier   I'm loving the PB shakes... I had a bad day of diarrhea a few days ago, but am not sure that it was related.  Either way, since I started taking the shake right before bed, I wake up and the first thing I do is have a full, easy bm- and I'm feeling great.  If you can't tell, I'm feeling really really happy and optimistic right now!!!  

Like I mentioned in my last picture post I had a bad pimple on either side of my nose last week.  The one on the right is healing well, but developed a small pus head a few days ago that's now almost gone- seems like it got re-infected somehow.  And the one on the left is a lot more of a scab that reopens every couple days!  I certainly don't pick on it and don't put the clay mask over it, but sometimes it starts bleeding after I was my face, even though I'm gentle.  The good news (I guess) is that it just seems to be bleeding, that it's not a reopened pus head of a pimple that would get reinfected.
