Major breakthrough on the skin front (hahahah) with my rashes and hives. I think I nailed down the problem. My aunt sent a family newsletter and I got it yesterday. We usually do this at Christmas but she was busy and got it out late. She mentioned that she's dealing with an autoimmune disorder. Now a days anyone mentions anything about Autoimmune and my ears perk up. So I emailed her and told her my issues. She has Celiac Disease. Intolerance to Gluten and Wheat. BUT. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is also a version of that and causes extremely itchy rashes. Caused by the same thing: Intolerance to Wheat and Gluten and triggered by a huge stress to my system (surgery).  So as soon as the doctor verifies it, I'll be foregoing the sugar free cookies too. Yikes. As if I don't have enough problems eating food. But it tells me there is a reason for my not gaining weight and maintaining without eating lots of calories. I'm SUPER malabsorbing.  Breakfast: Kashi Hot Cereal (this will go away) soy milk, protein powder and wheat germ (this will go away).  Snack: Cheese stick and V-8 Juice, 12 oz Lunch: 3 oz poached salmon, 3 oz roasted chicken, 1/4 cup mandarin oranges, 1/4 cup papaya and 1/2 a raw orange (we went to the Super King Chinese buffet)  Snack: SF White Chocolate Chip Cookie (this will go away) Dinner: Stuffed bell pepper with 1/2 cup brown rice and 5 oz lean ground beef and 1.5 oz cheddar cheese.  Totals:  Calories: 1690 Fat: 64 Carbs: 149 Protein: 136

Well that could really mess up your carb intake if thats what it is and could be the reason,  guess we will see. get in to that doc and see what they say. Nice day for you... if you got any of it..lol... try staying away from it and see if it helps the rash.. one fast way to find out.   See ya tomorrow Carla

I saved much of my calories for dinner because I knew I was going to eat Mexican.  I tried a new thing today because I really wanted to make sure and get in some dense protein.   I tried Lamb , I found it wasn't my thing so I wrapped up some beans and rice in a tortilla and ate that.  I did probebly get 2 ounces of that meat down.  I am proud of the fact that I PLANNED for the Mexican food.  It kept my numbers where they need to be.   I am going to add my excercise to these post too:   47 laps, heart rate average 159, max heart rate 173, walked 1 hour 4 minutes. probebly 4.6 to 4.7 miles. 13149 (6.26 miles) total steps today!
