Reached Lifeime Insurance Max. No Follow up Care?
So I reached my lifetime maximum for my sleeve procedure about 1/2 way through last year. I'm scheduled for my 1 year follow up and at this point neither the appointment nor the labs will be covered. Basically no follow up care will be covered ever again according to BCBS of KC. Seriously? I'm thinking about cancelling my…

Zip Lining!
One of the things I planned to do when I hit goal! Wow! What a RUSH! Too much fun and they gave ME instructions for the "under 150 pounds" group to make us go faster so we'd make it to the other side. It's all about mass. The less you have the more curled up you're supposed to be!

Vacation!!!
I just got back form a 4 day girls weekend in New Orleans! We had the PERFECT place to stay in a little shotgun cottage on the residential end of Borubon Street about 10 blocks from the craziness. GREAT weekend! For the first time ever, my friends were struggling to keep up with ME! Exceeded my steps goal every day! BUT, a…

Interesting NSVs at lunch today!
First, went to Target to pick up my new favorite snack, Siraacha peas, (they actually have some protein in them and make me feel full, plus they're kinda hot so I don't want to eat them by the handful) and decided to pick up a few cute layering T-shirts as the ones at home are looking really sloppy now. Ended up trying a…

Calorie Burn
So I got the Garmin ViVi Fit fitness watch. It's meant to be worn 24 hours a day and connects wirelessly to their heart rate strap for workouts. I like it, but I've noticed weirdness from day to day regards calorie burn. I ride a stationary bike 5 days per week for an hour a day. Hill intervals. I run it on level 16 or 17,…

Got my 3 month labs back!
And everything is NORMAL! Calcium, protein, hydration, etc. all good. Yay! She even told me I could cut the B12 to every other day if I wanted as it was high. This was also official confirmation that I no longer need cholesterol meds!
