The Good:
- Triglycerides are down from 235 to 166
- A1C is at 5.1 (down from 5.8)
- All vitamin levels are in the normal range, except...
The Not So Good:
- Vitamin B1 is very low at a "2". Normal is 8+. This is a common deficiency with those who do Atkins (high protein/low carb)....I don't really do low carb eating...i think?
So I ordered some B1 sublingual from vitalady.com. No way am I going to attempt to choke down these huge pills I bought yesterday from the hippie skippie healthy vitamins store....not sure what I was thinking.
I also got a BIG girl fill today....I went in to the fill appt with the thought that I needed .2 or .3 cc at the most. Well, the water went down so well, that I ended up getting .5 ccs. We will see how it goes. Maybe this is what I need to kick those last few pounds to the curb.
Weigh in day tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteOh that is kick ass news! With the fill, hopefully getting rid of those last pounds will be cake.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are great changes!! Let us know how the sublingual B vitamins work. I'm taking gummy B-12s, but I'd love to try a sublingual B-complex when I run out. :D
