Today is the last day I have to take my Metformin 3x/day. I know it doesn't seem like that big of a deal but I feel tied to the medicine bottle when you are constantly taking pills. I also have a hard time remembering to take medicine at times (I think I have too much other mind chatter) so I have 3 daily alarms set on my phone for 7am,1pm & 7pm to remind me to take it. Now I can go down to just two alarms. I also realized I forgot to take my vitamins today but in all actuality the medicine is more important than the vitamins so I guess I am okay. That is another reason why I carry the medicine in my purse so its always with me. I also think that it is a good thing to be going to the 2x/day because it is the Metformin XR and I think it will keep a more constant level of the drug in my bloodstream instead of just "dumping" meds in 3x/day and then going 12 hours overnight without anything. I think I may switch to 8am and 8pm though, so I'll have to change my alarms.
In other thoughts, I have an acupuncture appointment today. It is very relaxing but a bit pricey if I think of how much I will spend. There are a few weeks in November where I have to miss my appointment or wasn't able to schedule one (like the week of Thanksgiving) so I wonder if that will impede any progress I may be making. I keep wondering if it benefits me at all beyond the stress control and the 1 hour of peaceful time, but Clay said he wants me to keep going for now, so go I will today at 320 and the next week and then again and again.
