Poison Ivy Sucks!!

So, I did this great work out last weekend and worked in my yard for two hours. Everything was fine and dandy until Monday night when I continued to work in the yard. That night I found the poison ivy. So for the past week I have not worked out because I have been too itchy. I have tried everything to stop the itching and feel better. I have tried clear calamine lotion, Ivy Dry (which has really helped with the itching), pink calamine lotion, hot water/shower, and a hair dryer. I am also on steroids to try to combat it from the inside. So far the only thing that is helping is the ivy-dry. It has done pretty good at stopping the itching. I just wish it would go away!!!

I am beginning to believe that weight loss is not going to work for me. Every week I get started again, find a great workout idea and some how I injure myself. The first week it was lunges, great for my thighs and arse, but then I couldn't walk for a week because I was in so much pain. Last week, I got active in the yard and burned so many calories, but now I have poison ivy and am itchy with weird skin deformations all over me.

Oh well, I will keep on. this week I am suppose to add a piece of fruit. We'll see how that goes.
