Daily Maintenance Weigh In. Tuesday, June 3, 2014

142.6. Yesterday, I finally got my "blood work " ducks in a row.  It's been driving me crazy that between 3 Drs- who knows how many times a year- I'm expected to happily produce my arm for poking and blood letting, much of it overlapping requests.  These physicians all get copies of all the work done, but couldn't seem to coordinate between themselves.  Spent the entire afternoon traipsing between offices and labs to get one order together they all would be happy with.  I have my fingers crossed that now I will only have to submit to the vampire once a year about this time.

quacking happily and intend to get the watercolors out and play.  Have a lovely day, all!

Oh, and yah---Good luck, Tom on the race today...rooting big time for your man.  You guys are going to do well...wishing moderate weather and good rubber.

Good Morning!!!!  No scale again today...I've actually been okay with that although the head games have started a bit...lol. The things I tell myself for heaven's sake!!!  We're off to the mall today and a baseball game.  

Bonnie...glad you're getting them straighten out.  No reason to get poked more than once; for that anyway!!!  Heh!

Wicked girl!!!! and, totally--HA!

153.  And that, my friends, is why I only consume @#%@#(%&&@  protein bars when I'm doing long hikes.  Except when I don't, at which time I apparently decide that more is better, whether I'm actually HUNGRY or not.  What the [BLEEP]?!?

Tom, wishing you awesome rides. 

Have a good day everyone!

I think I'd almost rather go in more than once than sit there watching the technician pull out and label 25 vials for my blood order.  That's enough to make me start feeling woozy before they've even started!

I debated and debated, but I finally decided to participate in the "free" bloodwork they'll be doing at work in a couple of weeks.  I have serious trust issues with this, even when I've been assured a bunch of times that the data is only shared with our company on a collective level (and we're a big company).  And I'm quite sure it will only result in MORE phone calls from a "health advocate" at my insurance company, but I've gotten really good at blocking their calls.  I'm tempted to actually talk to them sometime, and explain that I prefer to get my healthcare advice from someone with an actual medical license, but I'm rather certain it wouldn't make the calls stop.  Anywho, now that I'm on a high-deductible plan, I figured I might as well take advantage of the free bloodwork.  Plus, I'm going through a sudden unexplained bout of hair loss and low energy (had bloodwork done in early February, seems awfully fast to develop a severe deficiency, no?)  Maybe they'll turn up something useful.

Would love free blood work-up, and might even risk the chance of "tattle-tale".  I'm always so afraid that - this time- my labs will fall between the insurance wood-works, and I'll be stuck (pun intended) with a massive---(almost 1,000) blood bill.  Crap, the way I feel, they should be paying ME for the 7-8 vials they suck out....Who knows how many bats I am feeding.....

And- oh, yah- protein bars are CRACK disguised!

111.4 for me this morning. Luv ya Bonnie. Well actually I luv all of ya here!
