A Long Walk

Hey guys. Hmm. Today’s been… another day. Wasn’t really that busy, which wasn’t fun. And my face got worse overnight, if that’s even possible. But I don’t really want to talk about it. I did get an appointment with a dermatologist… in two weeks. Ugh. I don’t know how I’m going to live with myself.
This morning I took a really long walk. I was gone for over two hours… it was nice. Kinda distracting. I got so far from home that I spooked myself a little bit. But it was a gorgeous morning. I saw lots of turtles and baby squirrels.
Breakfast
Special K Protein Plus + strawberries + almond milk
Simple little breakfast.
Workout
45 minutes elliptical intervals
25 minutes planks
- 3 x 4 min ball planks
- 4 x 1 min front planks
- 4 x 1 min side planks (per side)
Since my face has gotten so bad, I never feel like working out anymore. It just seems to pointless to me. But once I’m done, I usually feel better…
I showered and put on makeup before running off to my high school… I returned the Calculus book I got yesterday and got a new one, because I figured out some pages were missing.
Lunch
Could all the cocoa powder be causing my zits? Probably should stop having this every day. I’m willing to try anything to get rid of this curse.
Mopped around all afternoon… when my mom got home, we ran to Walmart to get my school supplies.
Dinner
Salad with romaine, spinach, tomato, bell pepper, edamame, Caesar dressing, salad bits
I thought maybe soybeans would help raise my estrogen and help the zits go away, or something? God, I’m so desperate its not even funny. This is awful, guys.
Anyways… I guess I’m done for the night. Sorry for being such a downer. This is just so bad. It makes everything I’ve dealt with in the past–anorexia–seem so silly and stupid. Why did I worry so much? I had a clear face. I should have just been happy. *sigh*

You will get through it!! You’re a teenager – it happens to all of us. It comes at the worst times too and can be difficult to get rid of. It stinks! But you have to keep your head up. It’s not worth letting it ruin your mood or your workouts — don’t let it get in the way of all the progress you’ve made! Easier said than done, I know. Do you have some good coverup to use once school starts? I love bare minerals. It works wonderfully!

Awwr girl I’m so sorry to hear that this is getting you so down
I know it’s not an easy thing to deal with, but it’s probably not something you’ll have to deal with forever, so try and keep your chin up. Maybe it’s all happening for a reason? You said that it made you realize that the whole anorexia thing was pointless… maybe this is a way to help you learn to appreciate the things that you have. Big hugs to you, girlie. It’ll be okay <3
