Iron Supplements??

Hello again, I have had my head down the past couple of weeks working on edits to my thesis. During that time I have started taking iron supplements; really just for the past few days. Anyone else taking them? My fitday showed that I am only getting about half of my daily requirements and I do bruise quite easily so thought it would help. I would also like it to perk me up more - I have been dragging ass lately!

So hope everyone is doing well! I have popped by and read a few of the post, but really with the little monster I call a thesis, I can barely come up with anything interesting or creative to say. :)

Hey Monestf!!! Good to see you! I'm working with a few people finishing off their doctorate, so have heard all the horror stories about Thesis time! LOL


Glad you've gotten onto the Iron pills, let us know if you really notice a difference. I am actually pretty good on my nutrients, except for that pesky vitamin K, but do know that iron deficiencies can cause all sorts of problems. Hope that those pills help!


How's your weather wayyyyy over there?

The weather today is really nice actually. Managed to go for a nice bike ride - very refreshing, especially since I spent all day yesterday lazing about and eating whatever I wanted. Today I have my period and am hoping that I did not do too much damage to my weight..lol

I'm using the queasy emoticon, because it's green - and I'm positively green with jealousy over your bike ride! It's still way to snowy and icy here for that. :-(


Hope your TOM doesn't derail your good work too much!

Good to see you Monetsf- do let us know if you find a difference with the iron tabs and bruising! Good for you for getting out on your bike, especially with TOM here :-)
