My chiro said that I'm low on iodine.... She gave me a supplement to take.

I have noticed my hair is thinning, which is very abnormal for me.

Hope it helps!

How 2013 was different, from the burger girl herself!

- Four eggs
- Burger patty with lettuce, mayo, tomato slice, grilled mushrooms & a little onion

This past year, I've lost a little over 30 lbs (which brings the total weight loss up to 130 lbs and finally AT GOAL, yay!)

I've been pretty much perfectly on-plan for the entire year, which has made all the difference.  I've also adjusted my portion sizes, which hasn't been that tough because you need less to satisfy you when you're smaller.

I hadn't really planned to say on plan for the whole year, but after over a decade of eating low-carb, something clicked where going off plan is just not worth it and I prefer the way I feel when I'm eating healthy foods.

In short, eating like crap makes me feel like crap, so not eating the crap is the better way to go.

Oh, and I'm still loving my burgers.  That will never change. (Obviously.)

Low carb menu on New Year's Eve

- Four eggs
- Hot dog with lettuce & mayo
- A bite of bacon
- Some whipped cream

Went for an arterial flow test yesterday morning.  I had the test due to some cold and purple toes that I had (on the same leg  as my major knee surgery).  The test involved a bunch of blood pressure cuffs on each legs and even each big toe.

The ultrasound girl was really helpful and also looked like Alanis Morissette.  While she technically couldn't give me results, she basically told me in a round-about way that I seemed fine and that "no news is good news" if I don't hear from my primary doctor.

I asked for ways to improve my circulation and she said that basically being active and stretching is important.
