Hanging in there...

First weigh-in back at Weight Watchers

Lost - 1.3kg


.......................................


I have anemia. Confirmed by blood tests. Explains my constant tiredness and ability to fall asleep at odd hours of the day and sleep "soundly' for hours.


.......................................


I am on Iron tablets, to be taken with a Barocca, which has the right amount of Vit C to make sure the Iron is absorbed readily.



.......................................



C25K has been put on hold for a couple of weeks til my energy returns.


I have continued to walk for at least an hour a day, yesterday overdid it a little by taking my friend Karen on a two and a half hour bushwalk which resembled something out of Raiders of the Lost Ark - lots of climbing over fallen branches and rock-hopping to get over running streams etc but well worth it.



.........................................


June is a crazy month for anyone in the Finance industry, so devoting a lot of time to work, with family coming in a close second (...did I just say that???) and health muscling its way into a close third.


Not a lot of time for Blogging, but will be back very soon when the madness of End of Financial Year subsides and I don't need quite so much sleep.



Take care and get your Iron levels checked!!!

  1. Hey Sandra,
    Sorry to hear about your iron deficiency - but at least you know why you've been feeling the way you have.

  2. Thanks Liz! Only a week later and already feeling sooo much better, just one iron tablet a day, and lean beef or lamb a little more often than usual :)
