The Road So Far...

This week was the Tuesday of the year. I never could get the hang of Tuesdays.

I had some success with my goals this week, and some failures. I came in under my calorie limit every day, and I did find time to walk 3 days this week. But I did not meet my goal of drinking a bottle of water every day. I missed one day. I made iced tea, and I didn't realize until the day was over that it was all I had to drink that day. I should have paid more attention and substituted water at some point. I'm working on it.

I'm still adjusting to the new medications. It's warped my sleep schedule and energy levels a bit. I'm sure it will even out eventually. Until then, I just have to push through a little bit more. I think I took it a little too easy on myself this week.

I did get my blood drawn for testing. The phlebotomist got my vein on the first try! But it wasn't without consequence.
 

It isn't the worst bruise I've ever had. But my daughter was quite annoyed that it happened. Usually, they take blood from my hand. It hurts more, but doesn't typically leave a bruise. This is the first time she's seen the aftermath of a draw from my arm. She's 6 years old, and has always been a bit dramatic. But it was kinda nice to see her feel so offended for me. 

The day of the draw

Five days later

As you can see, it really isn't all that bad. Hopefully, the results will come in positive and I can finally switch from a blood draw every 5 weeks to every 3 months. 

Coming up this next week, I have yet another appointment with my doctor. Checking up on my new medication, and hopefully getting the results of the blood test. I began a new crochet project, using two completely new techniques I've never tried before. So far it's turning out beautifully. But I'm not sure I'll be able to complete the project this month. Luckily, I have another, smaller project in mind to complete that goal. So I should start that this week. It's going to be a busy week!

Until next time, sending you all positive thoughts and good juju. ❤

Weekly Weigh In 11/24/19

Weigh in:   269.0   lbs This week:   +2.2   lbs The Road So Far... From first blog:   -14.4   lbs From highest weight:   -24   lbs I am honestly so confused. I tracked my calories. I went to bed earlier. I did my best this week. I do not understand the gain. Although, there is a medical issue that has me worried this week. The scale showing an inexplicable gain could be another symptom. Either way, I am going to be making a doctor's appointment a.s.a.p. to get it checked out. It could be as simple as adjusting my thyroid medication. It could also be any number of other more serious complications. I don't want to take a chance.  I was really hopeful last week that the scale would continue to show a loss each week. I would lying if I said this isn't a disappointment. It's discouraging, for sure. BUT, even when motivation wanes, it's important keep working. For me, I have to face this b...

It's only been 3 months??

It's been so long since I've written a blog, and SO MUCH has changed, my head is spinning! My last blog was March 11th.  So only 3 months ago, and yet I feel as though a whole year has gone by.  Forgive me if I'm a little lost for words.  I read over my last blog.  It was short.  A short update on my weight loss plateau and the little things going on in our life at that time.  Who could have known what was about to happen?  In the weeks following my last blog, the world changed.  And I don't just mean MY world.  THE WHOLE WORLD CHANGED! QUARANTINE!!! Suddenly, I wasn't focused on my weight loss.  My entire focus became keeping my family safe, and healthy.  Trying to make the best out of being cooped up in our home.  Part of me was relieved.  I struggle with anxiety and I have struggled with agoraphobia in the past.  This is something I have always wished I could do.  Stay home.  Not have to go...

Weigh In Wednesday 2/19/20

Weigh in:    256.4   lbs       This week:    +/- 0   lbs Weekly Calorie Limit: 12,460       Calories consumed: 10,822 Exercise goal: Walk 3 times for 20 minute minimum ✔ Health goal: Drink 2 bottles of water daily ✖ The Road So Far... 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...
