I&#039ve been trying vaguely to lose weight lately, but my main concern is making sure I&#039m eating better. So more fruits and veges, a vitamin every morning, and even calcium supplements (in chewy chocolate form, yum!). I suppose that it&#039s less a matter of losing weight, trying to get rid of the horrid love handles and gut as it&#039s a matter of preserving what health I have left, really. In this endeavor, I&#039ve dragged the husband into the mess so that now he has to eat more veges and change up his diet (to an extent; I can&#039t control what he does when I&#039m not there) to accomodate me. I worry about his health, and I thought it would be a good idea for him to take a vitamin as well (something he&#039s been meaning to do for a while), but it seems to upset his stomach. &#034Seems to&#034 isn&#039t right; it does upset his stomach and I&#039ve spent the past two days worrying over him as he got sick not long after taking the pill. My poor Baby Doll. 🙁

At first, I almost couldn&#039t believe it was the vitamin doing it because I&#039ve been taking one for quite some time with no repercussions. However, talking to my officemate, I know realize that my reaction to the vitamin isn&#039t necessarily all that common as both she and her husband can&#039t take them because they upset their systems. Her husband has to take Flinstones vitamins because they&#039re less likely to make him ill, and she has to watch not only what type she takes but also when and with what. So it probably is the vitamin which is causing Ian to throw up as opposed to just the flu or sinus drainage. Heather said that a lot of it is due to all the minerals because some people&#039s systems can&#039t take having them in certain amounts all at once. I thought maybe it was because he was taking them after eating rather than before, but it may be better if he just stops taking them altogether. I guess next time we hit the store, we can pick up some Flinstones. I&#039m sure he wouldn&#039t mind eating Wilma and Betty anyway.
