Day 284 - Day 297: Lots of good with some sick and food flaring

So the goods have been great. Been living life and looked and felt the most normal I've looked and felt since this whole mess started. It's felt great to be a girl again. Even went makeup and clothes shopping. I started getting really sick from a respiratory virus and flared from being sick and eating some Coke Gummies. But was able to cover up with makeup and look totally normal. Finally, in the next post you'll see, I gave into the flare and just rested. But that's the next post. For now, the ups and downs of my current days.

 Day 284

Sent this to my husband... was SHOCKED at how normal and soft my lips looked.

Day 285

Day 286 

Can totally  handle this.  Low inflammation. LIGHT flakes.

 Day 287 

Can't hide in this light and my skin looked awesome.  The under eye wrinkles are even fading.

Day 288 

This was right after scrubbing my face.  The sickness was making me flare a lot.  My breathing started to become pretty pitiful at this point.

After my face settled a few hours later.

Day 289

Right after washing my face... Some day sit looks perfect and doesn't get irritated.

Day 290 

Right before a photoshoot... felt great.

 Day 291 

 Day 292 

Went to my daughter's school program and felt good.  A few people didn't recognize me.

Me and peanut girl!!!  I love her.  Love her.

Day 293

Went to starbucks with my family and had to leave in the middle cause of the sick sweats.  Could hardly breathe and was slightly feverish.

Neck doing ok. 

Day 294

Used some reserved energy to do some Christmas shopping with the hubby.

Ate THESE on the way home... I will regret this later.

Dyed my hair... may have flared from this as well.  WHO knows. I NEEEDED to cover those grays.

Day 295 

Feelin' pretty sick...

Happy with how my stomach has been healing...  not itchy at all.

And the sick flaring commences...

Flaring but still able to look normal with makeup.

Just used water in the nebulizer to loosen up my lungs.
