Frustrated

Ugh. I just want to scream and pull someone's hair out!!

I found out that my former employer never canceled my health insurance after they let me go a year ago. So now it's affecting my current medical bills. They won't charge my current health insurance because it's technically my secondary. I'm not the subscriber, my boyfriend is. They have my primary insurance as the one from my old work which I don't have. I need my Remicade infusion today. It's something I cannot miss.

So now I eagerly await the phone call from HR at my former job and hope they can retroactive the termination date to Feb 2011. This is not cool (enter company name here).

Feeling Crappy But Happy

So I seemed to have caught a cold a couple days ago and I woke up this morning feeling SUPER crappy. The last thing I wanted to do was wake up and go to the gym.

But I did it.
Yes. That's right. I went to the gym for the 2nd time. Wow. Go motivation. I don't know where it's coming from, but if I can somehow drag myself there while sick, then I think I can do this regularly while healthy.

I'm hopeful this lasts. Many thanks to my friends for their encouragement and support. It means a lot.

My GI doc called me today with good news. All my blood tests came back with good results. I'm no longer anemic, no thyroid issues, and no gluten intolerance. I'm celiac free. Woo! He did say that I should continue my food diary and keep up with the exercise and as long as I get my Remicade infusions regularly and don't miss any, I'll stay healthy. YES! That's what I like to hear.

Now if I can only lose some of this weight...

Gym Day 3. Here I come!
