My how times flies....

I can't believe that it has been two months already. As of this morning I've lost a total of 61 pounds. Its hard to believe ;)

I've had my ups and downs, but things seem to be leveling off. I have my days when I'm tired and days when I am bouncing off the walls. I just need to find a happy medium so I can do everything that I need to do in a day. I have to start exercising!!! I need to walk every day and start going to the gym. I was doing pretty good until my iron levels dropped and then it took everything I had in me to try to put one foot in front of the other. Things are better and I am getting used to what I can eat and what I can't. I used to love eggplant, and now it is the most disgusting thing ever. I used to eat ham once in a while and now I can get enough. Its funny how things change.

In addition to walking and going to the gym I am going to try my best to get my water in every day and update my blog more often!!

A Long Couple of Weeks.....

The title says it all. I've been unusually tired the last few weeks and really didn't have an answer why until this past Friday. I finally called Dr. Graber's office on Thursday afternoon and they told me to go right in and have my bloodwork done. I went and did it as soon as I left work. The office called me by 10am the next morning and told me that my iron levels were low and to start taking 325mg of iron per day. They said I would start to feel better in 4-5 days. Today is day 5 and I'm not nearly as tired as I was, but I have PMS so I'll have to wait another week or so to see the "real" results. I have an appointment with Dr. Graber's NP tomorrow at 9:45 and I'm very glad to be going in as I have a few questions and concerns. I'll definitely post tomorrow after my appointment.

I have officially lost 58 pounds. Woo Hoo!!! My next mini goal is 69 pounds which is my halfway mark!! I look forward to reaching that goal!!!
