Now that it is after January 1st, I am committed to getting back to eating well and exercising. I started indulging at Thanksgiving and am just now getting back on the band wagon. I’ve regained some of the 35 pounds that I lost and I feel it and it doesn’t feel good. I say this and had Alfredo pizza with pepperoni last night. I’ll start with a healthy breakfast smoothie tomorrow and an hour of water aerobics.

On another front, I saw my dermatologist about a rash on my face and he prescribed a $45 antibiotic and a $97 cream. With all my other meds and needing glasses, I couldn’t afford that and called to see if they could prescribe something less expensive. They couldn’t be bothered. I tried Neosporin on it when it started hurting and it worked like a dream! I’m thrilled!
