Ohh the weather outside is Frightful..

And my bed is so delightful
Need to work out, but I don't wana go!
'Cause it snowed, cause it snowed, cause it snowed!

I planned to work out on Monday, had my clothes laid out and everything. Then I woke up and saw the horrible storm that had snowed overnight. So I skipped the plan to work out and headed to work, got there 2.5 hours late due to traffic! Then planned to work out on Tuesday. Got up, dressed, started driving and found out that the traffic was still really bad, got to work at 7:30 so skipped the workout and just changed into my work clothes. So today I left early and actually got some good cardio in! I did plan to weigh myself on Monday, then Tuesday and never made it. Then I was there today and forgot to weigh in!

I started to feel better and cleared up on the 'bathroom issues' around Saturday. I waited a few days to make sure I was 'solid' then I started to take 3 pills a day yesterday. So far so good.

New Medicine

I was working out pretty steady.....then it started to snow a bit, and I was late a few days, and I was off while my mom had surgery (all went well and she is home now)....blah blah blah....so I haven't really worked out in 2 weeks. I did go to the doctor the day after Thanksgiving (oh, and I ate a ton at Thanksgiving), and she started me back on Metformin. It's a diabetes drug, but I guess it helps lower TSH levels too, and helps loose weight (bonus!!) So i'm supposed to take 4 500 mg pills a day (big huge horse pills) but she said to start with one a day for the first week, then 2 a day the second week, etc.

So the 1st week went great, 1 a day and feeling good. Did notice that I wasn't as hungry. She had said that my apatite would be diminished (something with it controlling my blood sugar and insulin) and that is good because I had been eating like a hog lately.

Start week 2, 2 pills a day on Saturday. On Monday I tossed my cookies on my way to work, then after a blow out in the bathroom I went home and stayed in bed for the day. Thought I had a flu (which I still might have had a touch of) but now it is Wednesday and I still have horrible diarrhea. I finally looked it up on the Internet to day and diarrhea is a side effect that like 52% of people on this drug have! No wonder you loose weight!

My sweet hubby thinks I should call the doctor, but I'm going to wait it out for a bit. I see her at the end of next month, but if it gets too bad before that i'll call.
