Almost a month -

I have been taking nature throid for almost 1 mI still feel very tired and have more hair falling out than ever. I have to admit I am discouraged, but I will go next week to get my blood work done at the endocrinologist office. I'm also starting a timed meal research project at the University of Tennessee on Wednesday. It's in HEAL (lab). I am going to be a subject in this study and participate by keeping up with all sorts of information and wear a monitor and report answers on several questions while eating every 5 hours except when sleeping of course.  This kind of thing motivates me so this ought to be very good. I will update on all the parameters and specifics of the study. :)

Still too low

After a checkup and lab work I have discovered that I  still have extremely low numbers for TSH T3 and T4 levels.  I am waiting on a call from the Dr.  To see what i should do next.  I felt better taken Nature-throid I tought. My #s seemed to be better with Levothyroxine.  I'm confused and apprehensive about what the Dr.  will tell me to try next. I have been on Nature-Throid for almost 3 months.

Results

I gained 3 pounds on my vacation. This is not too bad however, I really wanted to gain 0 pounds. I will be content with this and start working from here. I am pretty sure that if I had not been on nature throid then I would have gained even more. I find being on vacation is a mental game and takes a lot of discipline to stay on track. Honestly, I was about half and half. Which, for being on vacation with three grown men who eat a lot and often I'm going to choose to feel pretty good about how I did. Positive begets positive.

Goal for vacation

I'm heading to lovely Florida for a week. Lots of eating out and lazy days ahead. My goal is just not to gain weight this week. I want to come back within 2-4 lb.s of my current weight (176). So really what I mean is not gain any substantial weight. I do not want to back pedal so much that I create another obstacle to overcome. I would rather enjoy healthy fresh foods and some treats. I'm going to attempt 25/75 diet this upcoming week. That is make 75% of what I eat nutritious lean food --- then eat a treat or two. I also plan on being active as much as possible. Do not get me wrong I'm going to relax but I do want to keep in the back of my head the fact that I do not want to lose so much ground that it is a battle just to get back where I am now. Wish me luck. 

At 176 lb. :Down from 184lb.!

Well, I lost another pound. Being disciplined really does pay off. I have hope again!♡☆♡☆:-)

Great day

I'm not going to waste another day...

Rough couple of days

I ate too much yesterday and today. But I'm still experiencing more energy. I have a lot on my plate figuratively as well. I am a physical educator and this week I have field days (3days) and I'm going to be preparing for them then running them. I will be like a new person when this week is over :-) I will not give up - I will try harder tomorrow.
