This cold weather is the pits! It makes me feel so tired and lazy. I want to stay in bed where it is warm and cozy. I'm so cold! I try to refrain from cranking up the thermostat. It's awful! I'm resisting the urge to climb back in bed, though {for now!} Need Sam to come home so I can stick my cold feet on him! {ha!} He warms them up for me... but hates it. Sorry honey!
So, I've been going around the house cleaning, doing all the chores I hate... ugh.
Since I'm so out of shape and overweight, cleaning is a work out for me! So, that's a plus... I guess? I got to it and got all sweaty. Got my movement in for today! I could use a lot more, but at least I got something.
Speaking on feeling tired, I think I'm still suffering from anemia from when I was pregnant. I was suppose to be taking iron supplements, but I stopped taking them after the side effects were getting too bad. I've been told an "at home" way to see if you are low in iron {besides feeling fatigued} is by looking at how red your eyes are inside your lower eyelid. I pulled my down to take a look, and it's very pale pink. I guess I'll start taking my supplements again and see if I start feeling better...
Boring post today. Sorry! I just don't have much going on. Hopefully I can get back to the gym again and try some new recipes to share with y'all. I'm still open to any recipes you have to share!
This weather is getting pretty blah! Its fun being stuck inside for only a day or so then it becomes unbearable. I could use some healthier recipes as well. The other day for lunch I ate an avocado with nine flax seed corn chips. I'm not sure which end of the creative scale that meal falls on. Oh well. LOL! Sorry about your fatigue. I hope you get it figured out.
ReplyDeleteI feel ya girl! Thanks for the concern ;)
DeleteI have anemia and I do not take iron supplements. When I feel like my iron level is low I eat something high in iron. Red meat, spinach (not cooked, yuck) etc... I have not had an iron supplement since Sadie was 3 months old. I know how you feel with the fatifue and such from anemia, it is no fun! I also am able to take Flintsone vitamins (i am a kid at heart, it's how I can get Sadie to take her vitamin daily), due to it having a lower dose of iron in it, iron supplements make me sick from an over load of iron.
ReplyDeleteI read that you could treat it naturally like that! Unfortunately most red meat is more fattening and I'm trying to cut back... Also I like spinach leaves like on sandwiches or in a salad but I never buy it since it goes bad before I can eat it all. Maybe I'll start taking flinstones again. I took them while pregnancy when my prescription vitamins made me sick. Thanks ;)
