Tomorrow morning I go in to have blood drawn for a follow-up workup to blood tests that were done in January. My Triglycerides were high and my potassium levels were way low. Those blood tests were taken pretty early in the process of trying to rev up my metabolism. I've been eating better and less and working out more since then. I have lost 25 pounds and am feeling better.
Though the weight loss has tapered off, I am still enjoying the fact that my old clothes are back in use. I am disappointed that working out in the morning, a 20-30 minute brisk walk at lunch and a 50 minute bike ride with my husband after work plus the change in eating habits would have kept the weight loss going, but oh well. I guess you can only push an older metabolism so far.
I have also been taking a powder made from the moringa oleifera plant for the last few weeks. Everything I've read says that this is an excellent source of potassium. I guess this will be an interesting test of that fact.
So, I've got my fingers crossed for tomorrow.
