I can't believe it's 2011. And I can't believe it's been so long since I updated my blog. . . . Such a slacker!
Things are good on my end. Same old. Same Old. Still working out every day. Watching the "diet" and doing what I can to stay fit.
One of my new years resolutions (PS I don't generally "do" new years resolutions) is to make a more conscious effort to focus on HEALTH and WELL BEING. Not so much on "weight" or "size" etc. It's been a few months in the making but I have been easing into my new point of view.
It really started last year with a routine doctors apt. Standard CBC blood panel results showed extremely low iron levels and anemia- some other concerns like low calcium as well but other than the iron nothing too serious. I had to have some iron infusions though I never really felt "anemic"... Trying to increase my iron levels lead me to interesting data & studies suggesting that mineral balance in general is a tricky tricky business. Increasing my iron via juicy steaks and little green pills, may not necessarily lead to higher iron levels... Well that's awesome.
Over the coarse of about 6 months of Rx supplements & infusions my iron levels went from 3 to 13. Well that's exciting, right? I don't know. I don't feel any different. I didn't have super human strength or anything like that.
Since my impressive "13", I have added a multi-mineral to my repertoire as well as magnesium shots 2x weekly. Ps- those hurt like a son-of-a-b!+[#! So maybe that will help...
I had a follow up apt last Wednesday and I am anxiously awaiting my blood results. I'll let you know if I'm alive & well. . . . or clinically dead. Could go either way.
