Then....and Now.

Above: January 2012, 29 pounds lost. Well on my way!

In November of 2011.

About every couple of months or so I will post progress pictures.

Update.

Well, here we are, almost to February. Things are going ok. Last Thursday, though, I ended up in the emergency room. Since that Saturday before, I had started to have mild tingling/numbness in my left hand, and it got worse as the week went on. On Wednesday night I had a few hours of the same sensations in my face and in my arms and it lasted for a few hours, but it went away, but I still had the sensation in my left hand. What scared me was the face and arms, so after Eric got back from work on Thursday we went to the ER. I took my bee pollen with me, just in case. They did numerous tests, an EKG, bloodwork, pee test, chest x-ray. All came back normal, except for one thing--they said my calcium levels were almost completely depleted, and they said that that could cause tingling/numbness, and the bee pollen could have been a factor, so I needed to stop taking it. So I have been off the bee pollen since then. I have a follow up appointment with my PCM on base on February 3rd.


But, I'm not going back to my old ways. I thought of different things I could do. I went to Wal-Mart and got all the stuff I needed to start the Slim Fast diet, got plenty of fruit, as well. Today was my first day. I did well, and I am determined, so I think it will work!!

Other than that, things are going well. Nothing anything too exciting to report!

New Year!

We got back from West Virginia a couple days ago. We spent Christmas and New Years there, it was wonderful, and we were sad to come back to the craphole. After I get done I will upload a couple of pictures from the trip.

I have now been on the Bee Pollen for almost 2 months now.....I have lost close to 30 pounds, and 11 inches off of my waist. I got a lot of compliments from my family and friends on how I look while we were home.

Nothing really more to write.....hope everyone had a good Christmas and a happy New Year!
