progress

it's hard to catch up without wheat or wine, I'm going on day 11 without either and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm down 810 pounds and my progress with dr. Jim is going very well. here's the run down.

last week I went in for a nutrition response test.

today he ran a few more tests to confirm his findings from last week and the results are in: my pituitary gland is on strike, basically not regulating my thyroid and hormone levels properly. he also found that my body doesn't react kindly to wheat, corn and milk. He put me on a strict diet excluding those items and gave me four different herbal supplements to take daily. I go back next week to find out how my body is reacting to everything and make any adjustments if needed.

in other news...

last night I took sir winston over to Jen's house to celebrate her birthday and let the doglets play.

apologies from an eight year old

last week, while we had the waller family over for dinner, brenner did not behave in an acceptable manner for guests and therefore was sent to bed early. the next morning on our way to school brenner handed me an envelope he made with the following notes inside:

1. mom i am so sorry for being bad when company came. sorry hugs. love brenner.

2. i am sorry so sorry for not listening to you and dad. love brenner.

3. i love you i am so sorry last night. love brenner.

4. and you too dad. love brenner.
