I know, I know... been a while.

Yes, it's been a while. I've let the blog slide while tending to some problems at work and home.

I haven't really been "dieting," at least not like I was before, counting every calorie like it was my last. On the other hand, I haven't gained any weight. Still at 151.

One good thing: this week, I finally got in to the lab to have blood drawn. I expect to have results in the next couple of days. I'm looking forward to seeing those results.

I hope you've been checking in; I should have more data soon, especially when I finally get in to the endocrinologist. I'm a bit excited about that, actually, although I can't help but feel that my own problems pale into nothingness compared with those of Japanese or those in Libya, these days. My heart goes out to them.

(Why aren't they evacuating those who are within 100 miles of the F- plant?)

Day 62: 151.

Yup, I'm still alive.

About a week ago, I finally shook the hives. It took almost two weeks to fully get rid of them. I was taking Benadryl and drinking a gallon of water per day, but I did it. I am finally starting to feel human, again.

I haven't been taking any supplements for all that time (other than Benadryl about every other day), since I've been afraid of stimulating an allergic reaction, again. I've tried to keep eating healthy, but for a while I stopped being obsessive about calorie counting. Did I go over 1,000 calories? Yes, I'm sure I did, several days, but not too excessively. I know about how much food I can ingest without watching that scale go, bam! take that!

This weekend I intend to go back to Calorie King and start recording again.

One more month until I have the endocrinologist appointment. Next week I will have the bloodwork done, and will be sure to post results. I wanted to get it done this week, but got caught up in too many problems at work to make the time.

I appreciate the support from comments. Believe me, I am open to advice from ladies who are going through similar life changes.
