I will try to avoid the scale for a while, because with my increased water intake I could put on some LBs that are quite innocent and it might get me down. I feel good right now. Yesterday I raked up some leaves to put in the coop, just to move my body around and I found it pulled my abdominals good, so I kept it up a while. I wish I had hauled it in because apparently it rained a whole lot while I slept away the hours. I woke up to a small lake. So no raking today, but the sun is out, so maybe soon.
I really think that a lot of us with weight problems would do good to go to the doctor's office and have some bloodwork. I am 43 years old.......well at least I will be for 2 more days......and I have a diagnosis of hypothyroidism, which gives me a license to be tired and chubby, but I started taking meds in Oct or Nov...forgot which. Its not a miracle drug for me, but it might be helping. Sometimes I forget if I took it. The truth is I was really diagnosed 3 years ago, when I was pregnant, and I took the meds for 2 months, but I really got scared that it was pregnancy related and I didn't want to begin taking something that would stop my body from producing its own required hormones, so I stopped taking it, until I realized how very tired I was and how very much my feet hurt and how did it relate to my weight, so I broke down and went to the doctor with my concerns and game plan. One day at a time. I didn't get like this in one day and it won't fix itself in one day either.
