Screw United Healthcare
Well, it appears that those pr*cks at UHC have decided not to cover my dietician (which they had already done 4 times before, but, hey, we're talking about profit-based health care -- emphasis on profit.)
Since I stopped going to see Tammy and since all the BS about PBC and whether I have it and/or want to take more GD pills -- I gained back the 14 lbs.
So, here I am, back at step one. I'll pay for my visits myself. I'll take this on myself like I did last time when I lost 60 lbs.
And the GD Letrozole(Femara) goes bye-bye in June - period.
As you can infer, I am freakin' thrilled.

Issue with the whole PBC thing resolved for now. Oncologist will be doing blood tests every 2 months until six-month follow-up with hepatologist. Resuming Letrozole and maintaining other meds. Continuing with primarily vegetarian, plant-based diet. Of course, put on a little with the Thanksgiving week off. ;) Back to reality.

Making the break!
Well, I knew it would be a slow process, this breaking from the same 'ole, same 'ole and moving along into a Vegan, whole food world.
It's wonderful! I'm learning about and cooking with more kinds of foods and spices than I ever really knew existed. The foods of my past now seem a bit bland and pasty compared to the robust blended wild, black and ebony rices, aduki beans, seaweeds like Kombu, grains other than wheat, and legumes to add just the right amount of 'ahhhh' into a meal. Salads pop with new ingredients and flavorful dressings using fruit juices, balsamic and little (and frequently NO) oils.
But these yummies are not fat-free. {:-0}
With the exception of quitting smoking, breaking from dairy is proving to be the most difficult thing to do. I've tried various nut milks and they are okay. I'm not working with Hemp milk. It offers just the right blend of "nuttiness" (although it is a seed, right?) and goes well enough with my coffee. It's really rough having all these options to replace milk. I can have Rice or Almond milk with my cereal (for the lighter, sweeter taste) and Hemp milk with my coffee (less sweet and complements rather than competes with the body of the coffee or espresso.) Although they are cholesterol-free (and my cholesterol is a little high right now), they are also not fat free. :(
And then there is cheese. (sigh) Haven't given that up yet.
BUT -- I'm feeling more energetic (part weather, part what goes in, comes out) so I can exercise more!
Net results: Gained (back) 2 pounds but all my liver numbers except the M2(AMA) are good! And, in an interested note, my AMA went from 48.6 to 47.8 in two weeks. No ever mentions that AMA can go up or down. This could be very interesting.
See you next week!

A Different Perspective
I'm going back to a time when I counted number of workouts, yoga sessions, walks as compared to number of calories. Counting number of meals that I felt good about (and after!) as compared to counting every cookie I eat. Counting number of inches that are coming off various parts of my anatomy as compared to number of pounds (although there is a correlation between the two.)
That method enabled me to lose 60 lbs (and from size 22 to size 12) over a year. I've lost about 20 lbs since April and that included doctors messing with my metabolism, FM, a kidney infection (last week! Big surprise!), the threat of liver disease (still being tested for PBC), and the ever-present allergies. Now I'm back to walking a mile in the evening.
Goals:
1. Yoga at least 4 times a week.
2. Evening walk every night.
3. Bike exercise, whether stationary or on the road, once a week.
4. Keep on with the transition to a whole food lifestyle.
Talk to you again in a week with the results.
