It’s been a GREAAAAAT DAAAAAAY.
Yesterday I was looking for better iron supplements that will be easier absorbed. I found a really good deal! Then I searched around more and found out about ANGSTROM IRON! Usually only very little of iron is absorbed in the body with regular ole iron supplements (usually around only 3%!) but liquid angstrom is absorbed instantly into the bloodstream and has an absorbtion rate of 99.9%!!!!! I knew that money was coming into my PayPal today and I was excited about ordering the liquid iron too so I had a hard time going to sleep last night since I was stoked! Got up this morning only to check and YES, the money had come in so I went ahead and ordered the liquid iron and If you order before noon their time then they ship it THAT DAY so they should of shipped it today and said It’ll take 3-5 business days SO I CAN’T. WAIIIIIIIIT to get it! Maybe it’ll even come sooner than that?!?!?!!!! Also, you CAN’T OVERLOAD on this liquid iron like you can the supplements once your iron builds back up. The site I read for the dosage on the liquid iron stated If you anemic to take 2 tablespoons a day with water and If you’re severely anemic then 3-4 tablespoons a day. It’s not cheap but It’s the purest, most absorable iron… EVER so yeah. I ordered the 16oz bottle so that should last me hopefully 16 days or so which should be plenty of time to boost the levels on up. I’ve felt good for most of today! SPEAKING OF- I’ll get on with TODAY.
So yea, woke up and got online to order that then nibbled on a little cereal and took my Vitamin C and iron tablet then went back to bed for a bit. We both got up a little later on and I fixed breakfast, got Katie up… yadda yadda usual! We all lounged about then headed out about 1PM to get some stuff done!
First stop was the bank to cash Brad’s check and take some cash out and deposit the rest. We went and paid a bill, got some gas, paid 2 more bills then OFF TO THE SALON! YESSSSS. Came in and she was already cutting one ladies hair so she told me to come back in 30 minutes. We went by Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. I got a protein bar to eat and decided to take my blood pressure. A week ago it was 101/65 and TODAY It was 102/66 with a pulse of 64… OMG OMG OMG. YES IT’S GOING UP! I can’t TELL YOU how happy that makes me seeing as for the past 9 months my blood pressure has sat right around 93-96/60ish and not budged! That proves to me right there that iron IS/WAS MY PROBLEM. We got a few more things including an odwalla MANGO TANGO smoothie drink for me and 2 MONSTER ENERGY drinks for us, lol. Went back to the Salon and I got my haircut and eyebrows waxed. It was so nice! After we came home, It was the usual lunch + nap time for Katie. Brad took care of her while I went to wash my hair so I could style it! After I got all fresh and clean I got my cellphone and called Mom! Brad left for a church meetup while I was talking to her. I got off the phone and got a few things done… which included fixing my hair, folding laundry then It was time for Katie to get back up for dinner! I fed her and also fixed a snack for myself which was my sweet potato and peanut butter! I also put a few raisins on top, heh. The energy drink really helped me feel a little energy?!!! I was dancing earlier tonight and in fact, the drink made me a little shakey since I was so excited! Katie played with her toys and we even danced to some songs! It was so funny to see her dancing around – lol. I gave her a bath, rocked her then Brad came home and also rocked her for a few minutes before putting her down for the night. We cooked dinner – turkey burgers with a side of mixed veggies and a little BABY CLAMS! Those have 75% iron in them in only 1/4 cup!
I’m gonna put some apples in the oven for dessert and we’re gonna watch more eppys of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER! I’m so happy things are heading in the right direction. I’ve been waiting for SOOO LONG. It’s time to get back to being the energetic, motivated person I know I am and should be!
SQUEEEEEEEEEE! 😀
