I have not posted here for months! Things have been crazy with applying to graduate school (I got my Bachelors in December yay) and working on my thyroid issues, I have been really sick.

I am down 55 pounds now and seem to be going down weekly even if slow I am glad I am not going up anymore!

Today I saw a new doctor and she gave me some supplements because supposedly I have a b12 and d3 defficiancy which is part of the reason I have been feeling so awful. I really hope they work :)

I hope anyone who reads this is doing well!

Haven't posted for a while because i was very discouraged. I gained a pound on Friday so I was very upset. This was a big deal because I honestly thought I would have another big loss, so did the doctor. I mean my clothes are practically falling off me... anyway he seems to think the steroids caught up to me from the prior week... I still don't really get why my clothes would be like that then >< It's just very frustrating when you work so hard then see that.

He gave me a medicine that should help increase my metabolism... not to thrilled about the idea but I am giving it a shot. I am much more full but it interferes with my sleeping.

Well I have continued to be good hopefully I see results...

So I burned 1,357 calories yesterday! I did the 45 minute walking dvd (3 mikes) and of course my zumba again! Yay for zumba. 


Since I have been on the t3 I have had some good effects! My eyebrows are officially back! My left one more so but the right one is growing back too. Thank goodness for bangs! My mood has been more up and I am not as tired. As well as I am not skipping my time of the month anymore. And of course I am no long gaining weight which is awesome. I am so happy I finally found a good doctor! I want to like call up my old one and be like "you suck!" but I will refrain from doing so. 


Hope everyone is good!

Hey,

I have to get up early now because I need to take my thyroid pills an hour before I eat, I guess it's good for me to get up early anyway. For the past 2 days my upper legs in front are KILLING me both of them... I don't know if I pulled them or something but it is pretty awful and driving me a little bit crazy. Maybe it's the steriods... 

I don't know if I have ever mentioned this before but my fitness pal is a really good site. I have been using it to track what I am eating and my exercise since I have left weight watchers. It has almost every food on the list and breaks it down into not just calories but fat, sugar, carbs, protein etc based on your weight and stuff. There is even an app for your smart phone/ipod and if it has a camera you can scan the barcode of something and it know's all the nutrition stuff for you! Everyone should check it out. 

For the first time last night I did the fast walking dvd the 15 minute brisk one and normally I do the slow one. It was hard with my legs hurting but I was happy I was able to do it because a few months ago it was too hard for me to do. I am going to try one of the full dvd's today the 45 minute one.

So I have not posted in a really long time.

I started t3 medication for my thyroid 2 weeks ago and have lost almost 7 pounds so far so that is going well. Last week I had an asthma attack and ended up on a ton of prednisone (steriods) so I was so worried I would gain but I was down! That is very new for me and it's exciting. I am starting up zumba again tomorrow I had to take a break because of my asthma attack. I imagine I will loose a lot more doing it again.

I hope everyone is doing well I am gonna try and post more this week!

So I have not posted in a long time and decided I should... I am going through thyroid madness. But now since my TSH is normal the doctor refuses to up my medication... yet I am gaining weight every week, skipping periods, losing my eyebrows and about a million other symptoms.

I am still doing zumba every night (sunday they don't have it) and trying to stick to my points... it is just so hard though because I am seeing no results and working this hard.

So, after gaining weight last week I was really upset. 1.6 is a lot for all of the exercise I did and stuff. I have done zumba almost everyday. My mom got me a new heart rate monitor watch that is easier to use so i can track how I am doing. 

Zumba Yesterday- 45 minutes

805 Calories Burnt

105g of fat

2.6 Miles

3.6 Mikes an hour

Zumba Today- 37 minutes (left before stretching)

651 Calories Burnt

84g of fat

2.241 Miles

3.5 Miles an hour

It's pretty exciting to see those numbers and I really hope it all pays off... 

Went to Just Dance last night... the normal instructor wasn't there because she was sick. So we had a different girl who I didn't really like her routine. My bad foot ended up hurting a lot after because of the stuff she had us do. A lot of stuff where you stand on one foot while you do stuff with the other. So anytime I had to stand on the bad one it would hurt because it wasn't just for a few seconds. Oh well! Hopefully we won't need her again lol. My cousin and aunt was there too so that's always fun. My cousin starts college August 30th she's going away to another state for it so I guess she's trying to get in as much gym classes as she can before she goes. She is very fit though, just got her black belt in Karate last month.

Not sure if I will do zumba tonight because they are having an open house and everyone can bring friends so it will be super crowded. So I already did one of the walk at home DVDs this morning and going swimming in a few minutes. I am going to try and do the DVD again later it's only 20 minutes.

I also got a new heart rate monitor watch I can't figure out how to use! My heart rate is rather high though. It started at 90-100 before exercise (super high) Then during exercise went to 140. So who knows... maybe it's one of the med's I am on or something.

Went to zumba last night. Was fun like usual. Of course the fan right above our spot wasn't on and none of us could reach it so it was SUPER hot. But I look at it as burning more calories lol. On Thursday they are having an open house so people in zumba can bring a friend. I am not too happy about this because the class already has 200 plus people in it and crowded so I don't know what they are thinking! It will be crazy! Tonight is Just Dance which is pretty much zumba lol.

Eating is still not good! But I am REALLY trying today.

Last night there was a wasp in my bedroom (there was one in my room a few weeks ago) Anyway, it was on the mirror behind her bad and she wacked it with a magazine and broke the whole mirror... It was something lol. Stupid wasps all over the backyard getting in my house!

Hey,

My exercise is going pretty well since last weigh in but my eating isn't that great. It is not horrible like it was a few weeks ago but not great. I am going to be good now...

We have zumba tonight. We pretty much go 5 days a week and it's tough but it is a really good workout. It's hard for me to do a treadmill or something... I need someone telling me what I need to do lol. It also doesn't feel like I am doing it for 45 minutes it feels faster and I like that. I am getting better at zumba. There is one instructor who does a lot of like salsa music or whatever it's called and I don't really like that. But there is one instructor who does different ones that I can do better. I wonder who it is tonight... hm

Well I am going in the pool now!

Well I lost half a pound this week... I didn't get weighed in the past 2 weeks because I was really sick. I am sure it would of been up though. I think I lost what I would of went up this past week because I started zumba again. It was really crowded on Tuesday that they even checked to make sure people there had the gold card. I don't like it when it's that crowded but I am still glad I went. We are going again tonight I think at like 7 or 745 I like it better at like 5 because then I get it over with lol.

I am still feeling down but I am trying to get myself up again and not letting it make me not do anything like it would in the past.

I haven't posted in a while so I figured I should.

I have been feeling very down lately. I don't know if maybe I am in a depression of my bipolar or something. But I have been feeling very bad and crying a lot. Of course my eating is horrible because I am emotional eating. I know I am doing that... so I should stop right? I don't know why I can't >< And I am still too sick to do zumba so this is not going to be good.

Well that's pretty much it!

Need to exercise

I am feeling a bit better today... my asthma is still awful though. It's hard because I was taken off so many of my asthma meds because of my kidneys. I really don't want to fill the prednisone script but I will see... My brother came upstairs today and he was like "my throat hurt's you gave me strep!" He's so stupid. MEN

I am going to have to figure something out with my exercise and I am not going to weigh in tomorrow I am too sick anyway but I need to be SUPER good this week, I mean like total tracking and not going over any points lol. I might attempt swimming later... I am still debating it. I really miss swimming! I get so jealous anytime I look at the pool and it's so nice looking! 

Not much to post really... I am still sick but I think I am getting a bit better. It really stinks with my asthma when I get sick >< I really need to exercise when i don't it is always bad. I can et perfect but if I don't exercise at least an hour a day I will gain. Not that I have been eating perfect lol. I have the thyroid doctor on Friday she better increase my meds! I am going to ask her to see me once a month from now on until they get it under control, waiting 3 months is crazy!

I have read like 3 books since I have gotten sick, and that was on Friday! Joshua books are the bomb.

I called up the skin doctor yesterday to check on my biopsy results and they were like "it takes at least a week" even though the doctor told me 2 days! I am not that nervous I would just like to know asap.

Well, that's it!

I am still super sick! It is ridiculous really. I woke up at like 6 and had to do the nebulizer which is always annoying but I enjoy breathing and such. I cannot figure out why my prayers have not fixed this already! The only thing I could think of is that I read a new Joshua book since I have been sick, telling lady lime to read it made me want to again! They always make me have more faith and stuff so maybe God is wanting me to read them and if I was well I might not... Although I still completely blame my brother lol. 

Did you know that some people when there sick loose their appetites!? I know it's shocking, because I sure don't! If anything I go for foods that are horrible for me! Which isn't good considering I can't really work it off or anything... I was going to go in the pool today for a few minutes to see if it made me feel any better but my mom doesn't seem to think it's a good idea. It stinks I got sick when she's off from work for a holiday and it's super good pool weather. 


I hope anyone who actually reads this has a good 4th of July!

Sick

I cannot stand our tenants! I feel so sick and I was trying to sleep and they were blasting the TV until 1:30am! And making a ton of noise! It's kind of rude I mean we are considerate and try to be very quiet if we are up late but not them! So I wasn't able to sleep until like 2am. And my mom of course STILL won't have a talk with them. Driving me nuts, and they have been up since like 730am making noise! Do they not sleep, I mean the little kid is there and everything you would think children sleep! That poor kid had some coughing fit yesterday outside standing right next to his dad who of course still didn't put the cigarette down while the child couldn't breathe >< Crazy I tell you!

Anyway... I woke up at like 7 to take my thyroid medicine and decided to take my anti biotic (my brother gave me bronchitis) at the same time. Apparently you need to eat when you take that, and you can't eat for an hour after taking the thyroid meds so I felt kinda sick from that lol

I ate so bad yesterday... whenever I am sick I eat the worst possible foods. Like most people don't eat at all when they are sick... not me! It's really pretty absurd. And I can't do any exercise short of dumbbells or something to burn it off. So I really need to try and be good today... 

Lost .6 I am very happy it is not up but it's still kind of a downer! I didn't get a chance to do zumba this week or I think I would have done better. I also have the thyroid doctor on the 8th so hopefully she can increase my meds more and I will see more of a loss!

So I didn't get to go to zumba yesterday because my aunts car broke down we thought we were going to go get her but turns out she needed to work longer anyway so we could have gone. Instead I rode my bike and did laps in the pool again. I just really wish I could of gone at least once this week after the baptism party on Sunday and not eating well on Saturday. I tried really hard the rest of the week so hopefully it will be okay.

My aunt is borrowing my car tomorrow. I didn't really want to lend it to her because I am 99% sure she is using drugs again but I felt bad saying no. She needs to borrow it several times a year which was okay because she wasn't on anything. So she's been crying all day about not being able to afford the car repair and stuff. I feel bad I really do but she's probably using a lot on drugs... She has never had it easy with money especially after rehab she always struggled and needed help but it's just frustrating when I know she's using it on drugs and other things. I know she is ill but then she needs to go get help but she doesn't.

Oh well that's my rant for the day...

Well, I had blood work today for my thyroid and stuff, it is usually a big event for me because I tend to not do well. Blood work went okay, she refused to take it from my wrist like the other places do and took it from the top of my hand instead. It worked but took a while and hurt a little. But I was okay so that is good! 

I have felt rather sick today though ever since. I guess it's just a coincidence. I am really tired and have a horrible headache all day long. Of course when i don't feel good my eating is bad... really need to stop doing that. I just need to get in that right mind set I lost the past two weeks and don't want to have a gain, seems to be the pattern.

We have not been able to get in touch with my aunt all day which is very strange because she had off today and was talking about going swimming it our house. It's also strange because my brother had an interview at her job she was very excited about and was calling every 10 minutes about the past few days and today nothing. She is the one that we think is using again but like other things my mom and other aunts see no need to do anything about it and get mad if I try so. My mom is checking at her house now on the way home from work, hopefully everything is okay and she just lost her cell. Just called my mom actually and heard her yelling through the door so now I am rather worried :( At least I heard my aunt yelling back but it didn't sound good and the landlord was there too. Will pray everything goes okay... Maybe this will be a time that she will see she needs to go get help again. 


Well that's pretty much it for now!

My Dad just left, he fixed my two front windows of my car it was cool. I took off the inside of a car door by myself! hehe My car (xterra) had recalls on all the window regulators of course they said my specific car did not, yet all 4 windows stopped working 3 times so far lol It wasn't that bad. My dad normally get's nasty when working on something but he was actually rather nice. Then we got some starbucks, I LOVE light mocha fraps! 


Didn't get a chance to do zumba this morning but I went last night so that is good! I was kind of annoyed because there was this girl about a foot behind the instructer the whole time so I couldn't really see what was going on... no one else could either. Maybe the girl didn't realize it but I wish the instructor said something.  
Well I am going to go swimming now because it is SO hot especially after being outside all morning!
