I'm having a sinus attack and not feeling very good...headache, chest is tight, eyes hurt, etc...sure don't feel like doing very much, that's for sure. Tomorrow is weigh in day and I am trying to low key it.....I am hoping to be down a few pounds, if not I'll need to tweak my portion sizes. I know I need to start moving a bit but that still hard when I'm weighing 300 lbs and have foot/knee pain, etc.  but now that the weather is warming up, I can go to the pool and walk/swim a bit which would feel good on my joints.

I still want to buy a bike but feel like I should lose about 20 lbs more before I start riding around....I can also join the Y, memberships are free with my medical insurance....I can also start going to the Silver Sneakers exercise class once I start feeling a bit better. I need to have my labs checked now that I've been on a high prescription dose of Vit D for 3 months...I'm sure not feeling much different still tired a lot. I'll make the lab and doctor appts this week and see if my levels have come up.

The last test I had done in February showed severe Vit D deficiency and mild anemia. Also, the sinus problems make it hard to sleep with CPAP so I don't get good quality sleep....these three things combine so that I'm tired a lot...when I go to the doctor, I will ask for a referral to an ENT, about time to get to the bottom of the sinus/sleep issues....I had hoped the Vit D supplementation would do the trick with the fatigue but am not feeling it so far...

I'm definitely over the honeymoon period!! Now am getting a little bored, still not really hungry but am feeling like I want to just go eat bread/fries, etc....interesting, I know that's coming from my head and not my body....probably will always have to deal with that. It's hard for me to be patient....but I've got a long ways to go and will just keep hanging in there....
