I had a doctor’s appointment this morning to talk with him
about my lack of progress this past month.
He believes that part of the reason I haven’t been losing much despite
my best efforts has to do with toxins interfering with my thyroid
function. He backed this up with lab
results and reflex tests. So,
immediately after the appointment, I ended up doing a five hour vitamin C
IV. It’s supposed to be a really good
detox method and hopefully will remove some of the roadblocks to my progress.
Unfortunately, the IV really wiped me out. There was no way at all I could exercise
tonight. I actually made it to the gym
and was on the treadmill when I realized I had no business being there. So, I came home and decided that I needed to
respect what my body was telling me. I
am going to get to bed early tonight and sleep late tomorrow. If I feel better, I will be back on track
tomorrow. If I need an extra day, I’ll
take it. If this works and I can get rid
of any accumulated toxins, my body should start working better and this journey
should be more fruitful. If nothing
else, I’ll be better prepared for my trip to the resort next month.
And, since they pumped me up with a ton of water as part of
the IV, I am going to skip my weigh in tomorrow. I will most likely push it off until Monday
and give my body time to get rid of the extra liquid. It just won’t help my mood to get on the
scale and see a gain that I know is due to the IV.
I know this post seems negative and like I’m giving a lot of
excuses, but today I really think I made a big step forward for my health. It isn’t going to be instant, but I really
have hopes that I will start feeling better and start seeing bigger losses on
the scale. If not, it’s been a really,
really long day.
