Dear Diary, BIG Changes...

Hey! It's been a while.  I've missed a few blogs, but all with good reason.  We have been very busy with BIG things!  Big events, and big changes afoot!  The most exciting of which happened this past weekend.  We had a family reunion for my Grandma's 90th birthday celebration!  I never realized how much effort goes into planning a 2-day trip for a little family of three.  I can't imagine how my Grandma used to plan family outings with 7 kids in tow!  It was wonderful to see family again.  Some of whom I haven't seen for 9 years or more, and some I've never met in person!   As a special treat, we were able to go to church.  For me, it felt like I was returning home after a long journey.  The readings.  The songs.  Standing next to my Grandma as she sang so beautifully.  I hadn't been to church in so long.  My fiance and our daughter had never been to a Lutheran service before.  I have talked to her about God, and our faith.  We read her childre

Weigh in: 278.0 ➡ -1.8 Thankfully, the medication dilemma was resolved! Even after only 5 days without it, my body is taking a while to readjust.

The good news is, I will see my doctor tomorrow!

Weight Loss Week Ten

Weigh in : 279.8 ➡ +1.6 I wish I could say I'm surprised.  I'm not.  This always happens.  I start to make progress and something unexpected takes it out of my control. This week there was a mix-up with my medication.  As in, I don't have it anymore.  I don't really want to get into the details right now.  My symptoms have come back with a vengeance.  So, short story?  My doctor's appointment isn't for another week, and no one can get in contact with him to refill the prescription.  So I'm trying to conserve as much energy as possible to deal with my thyroid condition going untreated for the time being.  Hopefully, I can get in touch with him before my appointment and get back on track.  But, so far, I've had NO luck.
