It’s been a less than fun day in the house. I’ve been trying to get some work done all day but unfortunately I’ve been impeded by my own body. This is not a normal health issue, or should I say at least not one that I generally deal with from day to day. It’s not [...]

I never truly thought I’d be writing those words despite the fact that hypothyroidism runs in my family, my Gran and Great-Gran both have/had it, but it’s that old “it’ll never get me!” chestnut. However it apparently has. My thyroid levels from last week indicate a 5.08 TSH, when normal range is considered to be [...]

As anyone on Facebook and livejournal knows we’ve had a shake-up again as far as our inter-connectivity goes. Kiddy came back. I’m always reluctant to say “came back” because it implies that she was gone completely, but in reality, she was just sort of “sulking” in back for a while, contributing to discussions every once [...]

I’ve been slacking on posting because with being sick for a while I haven’t been weighing in. I’m not surprised to find that I’ve gained the weight back though I could tell my clothes were getting tighter again and just felt it overall. But back on the horse. I’m making sure to keep my portions [...]

I was thinking about something last night and I think I will have to take ‘my own’ advice. We’ve been working little by little with the ‘room of requirement’ last night we had what amounted to a ‘town meeting’. Each of us ‘alters’ took our place in the room and we had a sort of [...]

Thanks to some poor planning and what is now two bouts with sickness I’ve gained back almost all the weight I’ve lost since the beginning of the year. I’m finding it hard to not depress myself about this. I’ve even caught myself looking for a reliable quick weight loss program despite everything I’ve previously said. [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the dieting aspect of my life and the reasons why it’s so hard for me. I know some of it is due to the sedentary lifestyle I lead which is partially choice and partially the fibro. I need to take the choice part out of the equation and [...]

So, we’ve been at this a month now, though I forgot to update last week. This is this morning’s count. Doing very well, methinks. I’m at 240 now, which is 8.4 since the start of the year, but 16 down overall since my highest point last year. Woohoo! No wonder I kept losing my jeans [...]

I’m down a pound since last week, which I’m surprised at, I haven’t done much walking this week because I’ve been sick with a mega-cold, and recovering from work which really did it in for me as I’ve mentioned several times. So, to have lost a pound is awesome. Again I’m attributing this to cutting [...]

So, as of today I’ve been on the new living plan a week. I was feeling a bit bummed about things because I wasn’t able to do the first “Couch to 5K” work out. It overextended me because well, I’m hideously out of shape, even more so than I thought and so after last Wednesday [...]
