Making steady progress with exercise and diet

Posted , 9 users are following.

I finally got completely sick of my weight and anxiety and decided to do something about it.  I bought an exercise bike, started measuring my food portions, and cut out all the extra sweets I was eating.  I have been at this for about two months and I look and feel better already.  I have lost 10 pounds.  Having been about as far down as I could go with anxiety and depression, it is a relief to be doing what I can to make things better.  I am also back to taking the 2,000 IU of Vitamin D daily that my GI doctor prescribed.  I tried a different brand that is working out with no side effects so far.  Still haven’t found a new gynecologist yet.  Since I have Crohn’s disease as well, I want my GI doctor to advise on the Vitamin B12 lab results from my testing with the gyn that she could not explain, so I sent him the report and will see him next week.  It is a relief to be taking real steps forward.  I didn’t think I could do it.  I take it all a day at a time now and it is making a real difference.
