Happy Anniversary

My labs last doctor visit indicated that I have a vitamin d deficiency. I didn't tell the doctor, but I haven't been taking my vitamins regularly. I know I have to, but I hate taking these horsepills! I get on a roll taking them religiously and then I just forget one day and that sets the slide into motion where I go a whole week without taking a vitamin. Not good, so NO lectures please. I need to find a solution to this madness.

This doctor visit in November marked my one year anniversary. I lost 80 pounds in the year and that is great for me. The doctor thinks that I need to exercise more now because this is the critical juncture for me. He loses (no pun intended) many patients at this point because they know by now what they can and cannot "get away" with eating. Those who continue seeing him have a better weight loss than those who stop. I need to boost the exercise to keep the weight loss going, so that means hitting the gym more than twice a week. Ugh! I can do it and I will.

I will see him later this month for my 13 month post-op check-up and will let you know how it went at that time.

I Must Be Insane

I am participating in NaNoWriMo. Do you know hwat this is? A bunch of lunatics get together and decide that they will attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days starting November 1st and ending November 30th. Yes, I decided to do it this year. I'm tired of saying that I will write a noel one day. Forget it. That day is here. AFter one week I have written over 11,000 words so i am definitely on my way to completing the task, but the month is not over yet. Wish me luck!
