Well I finally made the plunge and have made the decision to go to the Medical Weight Loss of New York to see if they can help me with losing this weight. After over 7 months of working out at the gym and not seeing the scale move down much it is time to really look into why I can't lose this weight.
My first visit was a free consultation which allowed to me ask a number of questions and share medical information with them. I did explain I was not looking to lose weight fast so I would not be using the shakes and bars that they have but prefer the conventional food diet plan. My anemia I feel is from not putting together proper meals with the foods I can eat. So we will see what they can do for me.
The first step was to have blood work done. They are rechecking the Thyroid and other aspects of it and my hormones. My regular doctor has never done that and they explained that it could just be a very bad hormonal imbalance that needs to be corrected.
I go back in a week and a half and I will share with you their results and what I will be doing. This is rather an expensive adventure as insurance doesn't pay much of anything but I am willing to use a little savings for maybe six months to try and improve my health and learn how to create meals that meet my personal needs and not the average american diet plan that most nutritionist seem to point me at.
Being back to the gym has been great. I also am getting back down on the floor to work on my back exercises and abs. Some of my pain is starting to lessen which is most important as life has been not so fun these last two months.
With the sun shining outside I am going to take advantage of it so today's blog will be short but stay tuned for my next entry. Enjoy your day!
