Still kickin....may not be kickin high, but at least I'm kickin

Apr 17, 2009

I am still feeling the effects of not following my vitamin regimen like I should have in the beginning of this journey.  I feel better but I can still tell things are not quite right.  I am sooooo easily winded.  More so than when I weighed 370# and now I'm 266!  If I bend over for any length of time...talk about the swimmy head!  So much that my body begins to feel heavy and I have to quickly sit down or else I feel like I'm going to black out - which I have never done in my life!

My #'s were in the toilet in February and when I went to my PCP on my own in March for a check to see if there was any notable difference, well, they are still in the toilet.  At least now they are floating around the top of the bowl instead of being at the bottom of it.  In February my % iron saturation didn't even register.  In March it was 2%.  Thank God for small improvements!  Like I said, I'm kickin- not high, but still kickin.  I went to church Sunday (for the 1st time in a long time but that's another chapter for another time - being used in the church house is a sure fire reason to leave!)  Anywhoo...I had a realization that I didn't have anything "appropriate" to wear!  I have clothes for work (although not that many - I have gotten creative when it comes to repeating the same pair of pants in the same week) and the church I'd planned to attend does not have a problem w/ women in pants.  I decided to go to Dillards - my 1st time in a non-speciality store in about 15years.  I knew that I'd have to go to the womens department but still......i bought a pant suit off the rack in a size 24 and it looked great!

Just thought I'd share!!!!
