Blue Monday… now available in cranberry flavor
Both Clay and I woke up feeling lousy. He got to call in sick and stay in bed, while I went to have a previously scheduled physical.
Apparently I need to lose weight, which I was expecting to hear, but I was upset to hear that my cholesterol is high. Just for fun, I found out I also had a bladder infection. What a pleasant surprise. So after I take the antibiotic, I am starting a detoxification program under the guidance of my doctor.
The most frustrating thing about today was that I told my doctor that I gained rapid weight after I had the Mirena IUD inserted. Prior to that I had lost all of my baby weight and was weighing less than I did before I was pregnant. He like the other doctors accused the weight gain on lifestyle, and not the IUD, but I have found plenty of other women online that had the exact same problem. It is not so much that I want to be viewed as a victim, but I hate being accused of leading an unhealthy lifestyle.
Blah, I guess I need to process this. I am frustrated and scared, but I am determined to turn this around and motivate myself to loss this old weight and get my cholesterol down before I turn 30 this summer.
