It's been a while since I wrote anything in my journal. Mostly because I really didn't have anything new to say. i just thought today I would give a little update on my progress.

I'm still not back to 100% from the effects of the Vitamin Defiency, but I am doing much better. I feel that I am getting a little stronger each day. I still have some numbness in my legs (mostly thighs) and my fingertips, but they are useable now. I'm walking (without the walker) again... slowly but able. I'm back to work 6 days a week and I'm eating good and taking my vitamins. Things are slowly coming around. :-)

I had my 9 month checkup with my GBS last week. I had only lost 2 more pounds since I had seen him 3 weeks prior. He said not to worry, that now that I am eating healthier, that my body had probably plateued and the weight will start to come off again. He said 144lbs down in 9 months is fantastic progress.

But, now that I'm eating better I find myself craving carbs really bad... not sweet carbs, but things like crackers, cheese-its, tortilla chips w/salsa...stuff like that. It seems like I can't get my fill and sometimes I have to be really careful not to overdo it.

I'm eating finely chopped (slaw like) lettuce now and the salads I come up with have been really great and give a nice variety to my diet. I can only eat about 1/2 to 1 cup of salad at a time, but what a treat to what I have been eating. I'll make another post soon about my favorite salads.

Hope everyone is doing well. Love you all,
Cindy
