I’ve had a really hard time working out this week not because I have not wanted to but because work and finishing up the school year has been so crazy. I have also been really tired. The fatigue should have been the telltale sign, but then the bruises started showing up. (My pedometer broke too and the new one is definitely not accurate…)
I have a history of anemia. This is really common for people with Celiacs Disease and going vegetarian this was something I was concerned about since plant iron is harder to absorb than iron in say steak… I’m just surprised that the anemia did not hit me sooner. I’ve been vegetarian now for about 9 weeks. I’m not sure why it took so long to show up…
I’m going to have to read up on how vegetarians deal with anemia. I’m going to eat a lot of eggs over the next few days. May some good spinach and egg omlets will do the trick. I hope I don’t have to go in for a nice, pleasant iron shot … Ughhhh..
Oh, I hope you can avoid the shot! Not fun. I'm going to try your tofu tacos this weekend. I've never bought tofu before. Didn't know what to do with it. :)
ReplyDeleteEat lots of Spinach, Greens that will help you to overcome Anemia.
ReplyDelete@Michelle - I had never cooked it before, but for at least the tacos it is pretty easy. I'm addicted. I bought like four packages and stowed them all in the freezer.
ReplyDelete@Fitness Freak - Thank you for the tip. I am going to stock up on spinach and just eat it like crazy for a little while.
