blame it on the iron...

so around the jones' household we've started blaming everything on the iron. my head hurts...it's the extra iron. i've got a tummy ache...it's the iron. i forgot to call you back...sorry all the metal is affecting my memory.

i read online (take it for what it is) that some people that have advanced hemochromatosis have been known to set off metal dectectors - now wouldn't that be funny. no sir, i don't have a gun, only a liver full of iron.

that's enough of that. an update - i have scheduled my liver biopsy for november 7th (aka election day) and e will be home so i won't have to worry about my mother taking care of me. eek. that worried me more than the procedure.

today was my official tuesday weigh-in and here are my latest stats -
week 3
2.4 pounds lost
7.2 pounds left

there was a four day lapse of eating judgement over the weekend but i've moved on so i'm not going to harp about it.

and lastly, i know i said a couple of months ago that i was going to do some races (and i didn't). well, i'm starting my "eat what i want and not gain weight during the holidays" plan today. i'm going to start running and walking regularly ( i'm starting tonight) and plan on doing some races through the holidays and january. maybe that will keep me focused and incentive to exercise (which is not a bad thing). no big crazy marathon aspirations just something to get me moving.

so if anyone wants to join in the fun - here's a list.
