I'm excited! Found out I am anemic today!
Yep, I'm excited about it!
Why? Because I have felt fatigued and I haven't been improving my times... even with all the training I have done. I have been wondering WHY.
Well, it's because I'm anemic. I have low iron at 10.5 and normal ranges are 11.5 to 15.
If I have low iron, this means my body can't get oxygen to my muscles. I'm very excited about this news! Finally! A reason why I suck so bad! I am going to start taking iron and hopefully this will get fixed.
I start taking my iron pills as soon as I can get them from the pharmacy. WOO-HOO!
In other news... I had the LOWEST Cholesterol the Dr. said he has ever seen. The bad stuff is very low (28) and the good stuff is just right (90).
