I am posting 125. Weigh in today was more like 124. To "celebrate" I ate half a muffin and some 2% milk while walking to work. Why?
Work is crazy busy and I am broke. Chasing clients for money is really getting me down.
I am making an appt. to get my foot looked at..it's been over 2 weeks and still hurts. I can walk but not much more.
Got my blood work back and am Vit D deficient, even though I take 2000 IU per day. It's a chronic problem and is probably why my hair is falling out. Cholesterol is very high-another chronic problem. I used to take meds but stopped. Dr. told me to exercise 30 mins per day and eat less fat. Stupid. I've lost 40 pounds and do not eat red meat or fried anything. Mostly vegetarian diet. My body produces more cholesterol than most. I need a new, new doctor! Potassium is elevated too. Not sure what that means. Maybe I am dehydrated-although I drink a ton of water at least 64 oz a day.
I am looking forward to a long weekend. Closing early tomorrow (hopefully) and plan to wash the beast and the cars, do some gardening, hike and swim. Our pool is clean for once and SU may agree to heat it up a bit.
Hope everyone has a lovely holiday.

Oh wow, Dens, you have a lot on your plate. I am self-employed too and it's no fun chasing people to get them to pay their bills!! Won't miss that a bit if I ever get to retire. I have vitamin D deficiencies too and have to take megadoses for a few weeks during the year to get the number back up. My deficiency is due to not getting enough sunshine basically since the area I live in tends to be cloudy a lot. But you live in a sunny area, don't you? For your cholesterol, do you take Fish Oil and/or use Olive Oil? Those things are supposed to help keep your numbers down. I wouldn't go on a statin drug unless you absolutely have to. My husband took a statin drug and had a very serious side effect from it. You should discuss it with your doc. From what you have been experiencing with your doctor, it sounds like you DEFINITELY should at least get a second opinion if not change doctors altogether. Let us know what happens with your foot. If it still hurts after 2 weeks, something is definitely wrong! Hope you have a relaxing holiday weekend!

Sometimes I wonder if the doctors really listen...how could they miss a 40 pound weight loss?? What's up with the foot??Hope that gets better soon. Sometimes somthing as small as a paper cut can feel all consuming, when you have some major part of your body not working, it's depressing and overwhelming. I hope those people pay up quickly. I hate trying to collect money. . .

Sometimes the supplements aren't very bio-available. They don't get absorbed by our bodies very well because they're synthetic. Try to add more vitamin D potent foods into your diet, and get a little more sunshine. Hopefully that helps balance things out. I hope your foot gets better soon!

Thanks peeps! I take Krill Oil every day and cook with only Olive Oil-usually from a spray can to limit the amount. I am going to source more Vit D in my diet and think I am supposed to get a prescription for the 50K pills. Looking for a holistic doctor now.
