Went in for my annual check up with Dr. Yu (who I think is fabulous and I have switched my whole family to her care). \u00a0I always go in with my fairly minor list of issues\/questions and brace myself for a weight conversation. Well, she never picks on my weight, but never likes my moles or my allergies \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Just one mole has to go this time around. I’m guessing I’ve had 7 or 8 removed over the years. It’s never the mole I think she’ll be after. I always suspect the bumpy ones that itch or get raised. Clearly, I don’t know what to look for cause she’s removing one that I don’t think I’ve ever really looked at before. Of course, now I’ll be staring at it every day!<\/p>\n
And, my dry scalp, crazily dry eyes and red throat and nose are getting a double punch. \u00a0An allergy nasal spray and the ever-so-popular food intolerance blood test. Time to stop treating the symptoms and actually figure out what is at the root of the problem. I figured out myself that coffee is a problem for me, but eliminating coffee didn’t eliminate the symptoms…just made them more manageable.<\/p>\n
Guess it’s up to me to tackle the weight issue. I always secretly hope that she’ll freak out on me and that’ll be the motivation I need. \u00a0But, she doesn’t. \u00a0I know what to do. But, it’s so hard to truly make it a lifestyle. I’m a yo-yo girl, for sure. The plan? Well, the pedometer is back on my waistband and I’m tracking the calories on my iPhone’s Lose It! app. I know how to cook healthy and exercise. It’s not magic. It’s eat less and exercise more. Stay tuned. I feel a big health shift coming for me…some Spring Cleaning for my body \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
