Approaching 9 years post-op...

Apr 11, 2012

Wow. Where does the time go?  It flies by when you're busy living life, that's for sure!  So - the good news or bad news first?  Good news is I am maintaining my healthy weight and am physically fit.  I am a health and fitness coach, and a certified Turbo Kick (an awesome kickboxing group exercise) instructor and teach 5 times a week in addition to my own personal workouts.  I will also have completed my certification and be a certified personal trainer in the next 30 days. 

The bad is I am severly iron deficient/anemic again.  My ferritin level is 3 and have restarted iron infusions.  I eat extremely healthy, clean foods, and take vitamins but simply do not absorb iron.  I will absorb a cookie or chips just not iron! So I'm struggling to get this to a healthy level.

Other than that, I am loving life, helping others get healthy by eating right and working out.  Stay positive and focused on your goals.  You can do anything if you put your mind to it -  Do NOT give up!

Wishing you a FIT day!
Coach Danielle
