Hello friends!
Those busy last weeks didn't let me much time to read you or post, but I'm still there thinking about you all!
My weight is still going down little by little, currently losing 100gr per week. It's one pound per month, not much and I can see that even if I walk a lot (10 km per day for 3 days this week) it doesn't really change the result at the end. Because there's a few weeks here and there where I lose nothing at all so one pound per month is the average weight loss of the past two/three months. Not much but no gain is always a victory in my book.
Nutrition is better lately, I had a blast in France eating really really well for ten days, and came back here to find more veggies with Summer arriving very soon. So I will try my best for the next two months to find more protein I can eat, knowing the end of that road is arriving soon it will be easier.
My last blood test did show that for the first time my D vitamin level is at the minimum finally (victory! but with 5000ui per day it still took it's sweet time!) but I'm still very low in iron and it doesn't seem to improve at all. I had my blood test at the end of my trip in France, I can't even imagine what would have been the results at the beginning, because I was eating red meat every day for 8 days right before the blood test!
I must say that I'm still tired (anemia that's a bummer!) but overall feel pretty good, I have been sleeping more and I've been very active with almost no pain in my ligaments and feel really good about my mobility coming back!
I can't wait to be done with the big mess coming right at me (international move.. again...just a pain..) and back at work in Paris. More good food will hopefully help stabilize my deficiencies for good! because vitamins and supplements are just not enough for my metabolism. Good nutritious food works much better.
I hope you are all doing great!! take care!
