New Year, New Me

Wow, it has been a LONG time since I posted, sorry! The holidays were hectic but good. Thanksgiving marked the 1 year mark for having my Novasure Endometrial Ablation - & all is good. I do still get pms, and cravings once a month, but other than a little spotting, NO periods! Woo Hoo - taking my vitamins every day & the iron count is staying good. I am mainting around a 10/11 which is low for normal people but good for me. My iron count was a 7 before the transfusion & surgery. The spotting has gotten a little bit heavier & I am just hoping & praying that the surgery will continue to be a success. I have read that it worked for some people for only a month or two & their periods came back. I have my fingers crossed.
Now, it's a new year & I am deteremined to make a new me! I put on about 20lbs over the summer/fall - thanks to a med my dr had me try for my back pain - gee THANKS doc! I have started keeping a food journal & wow am I amazed at what I put in my mouth when I have to write it down & write down the calories - I have never been one to count calories, so we will see how this goes - wish me luck. Also on the note of a new me ... I have enlisted back in school. I was only 3 classes away from my Associates Degree when I had my daughter - so I have changed my degree & will be back in classes starting next week. I will be taking Chemistry & Anatomy - nothing like jumping right back into the fire. I hope to finish the nursing program within a year -two. I will keep ya updated on how my crazy new me life is going! Happy New Year Everyone!
