Darn it,missed a day again. Okay, forgot to weigh myself this morning, too. Tomorrow, I will. Yesterday was crazy. Drove to north Phoenix with my daughter. We're having those B-6/B-12 lipotropic injections - supposedly "fat burners". We'll see. I definitely feel better - less fatigue since we began these shots.
I ended up signing up for a four month series of these shots - three per week. Two of the lipotropic ones that have a little bit of the B vitamins in them, and a B-6/B-12 once per week for $225. That's about $14/week, but not bad considering. The cheapest place I've seen so far for just the B-6 or B-12 shots was $10 each, so that's like having the other two lipotropic "fat" burning shots for $4/week. Worth a try, I've done much sillier things.
Well, anyway, my daughter may want to continue them, too, and when I added up all the gas we'd be using if we did end up driving there three times a week - well, LOTS. Even if they combined the B-6/B-12 shots into the lipo ones and made two trips there a week - it's still a ton of gas. So here's the thing - they'll show you how to inject them yourself and then you can pick up either a week or even two weeks of injections at a time. When I did the math, I realized it would more than pay for my daughter's injections if we did the injections ourselves - and even cover half of the cost of the program for my own. Last Friday, Angela there gave me an empty syringe and said to practice on a grapefruit. So I did - must have stabbed that thing a couple hundred times over the weekend! lol
This morning we went in for our injections and I asked Angela if I would be able to give myself my injection there in front of her - that I know if I was able to do it once where someone could jump in and fix it if I messed up, then I'd probably be able to do it. Well... I DID! lol... And I grabbed some fat on the side of my hip, did the wrist action, the needle went all the way in and I DIDN'T FEEL IT! lol.. I was so excited - Angela actually pulled the syringe back a bit to make sure I didn't hit a vein, and then squeezed the stuff in for me, but hell. The sticking myself with the needle seems like the biggest block! I was so excited! I asked my daughter if I could do hers! She said no, of course. Anyway. So we have Monday's injections with us, and we'll go on Wed. and probably pick up two weeks worth of injections :D Whoo-hoo! It's the little things! Who would think being able to inject myself would be such a big deal?! But it seems like a new "skill"! Hope it wasn't beginner's luck! :D
Have a great day, my wonderful FS friends.
