Weekly Weigh In 11/10/19

Weight: 268.8

 Same as last week. Neither up or down. I've been under the weather all week. So this is going to be a very short update. I have some sleep to catch up on. But I promised an update, and I'm holding myself to it.

Until next week...

Dear Diary, Blood draws...

This is the reality of hypothyroidism. This is what living with Hashimoto's looks like. It's blood tests every 5 weeks. It's swollen fingers for no apparent reason. Sometimes my fingers swell and sometimes they shrink. I can never really predict which way my fingers will decide to go in the morning. The swelling / shrinking can be as extreme as an entire ring size. Some days I'm a size 7, some days I'm a size 9. Most days I'm a size 8. Up one entire ring size from high school when my thyroid problems began. I'm blessed to have a fiance who bought me several different engagement rings and wedding sets, each in a different size. So I'll always have one I can wear. Lucky for him, diamonds are not this girl's best friend. Never liked them. Just my own personal preference. The blood draws are difficult. Each new phlebotomist has a challenge with me. Very few have gotten it right on the first try. The safest bet is my hand. Usually my dominant hand...

I confess I did not pay enough attention this week. With Valentine's Day, a flu bug, school projects and more keeping me busy, I didn't pay enough attention. I'm happy I didn't gain from last week. But I'm disappointed there was no loss. Maintaining isn't enough for me. I did stay under my calories. So, I'm a little confused about how there was zero loss. I guess it proves weight loss isn't all about calories in versus calories out. My metabolism is greatly affected by the Hashimoto's. So despite meeting my exercise goal, and coming in under my calorie goal, I didn't do enough to get my metabolism to burn the calories needed to see a loss. I also didn't drink the water g...

Weigh In Wednesday 2/5/20

Weigh in:    258.0   lbs       This week:    - 0.8   lbs Weekly Calorie Limit: 12,460       Calories consumed: 9,769 Exercise: Walk 3 times for 20 minute minimum  ✖ Health: Drink 2 bottles of water a day ✔ The Road So Far... Fatigue hit hard this week. And I think I know the culprit. (Maybe TMI, so if you're easily offended, stop reading now.) P.M.S.! Women, I know you understand. The week before menstruation is the worst! Of all the symptoms we suffer (bloating, cramps, back pain, breakouts, and more...) fatigue seems to hit me the hardest since my battle with Hashimoto's began. When it started, I hadn't yet been diagnosed. And the only way I could describe it was that I couldn't keep my eyes open. It was so much more than that. I felt weak. As if every part of my body weighed an extra 50 pounds, from my eyelids to my pinky toes. My arms ached from exhaustion. My back twinged constantly, as thoug...
