Friday, fun day
All these pictures turned out grainy cause I was messing with the ISO setting. But here they are anyway. I started the morning with a filling breakfast of oatmeal of course! Then I met Eliece and we hiked above the Avenues in Salt Lake. City Creek Canyon. Look how beautiful it was! Then we tried …
Its been too cold
Although I eat the same dinners as my family, often I will eat something different for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast for me is ALWAYS oatmeal or a smoothie. Lunch is usually a sandwich, fruit, or hopefully a salad if I’m at home. Lately though, it has been too cold in the morning for me to …

Levothyroxin; day 1
I am anxious to figure out how long this will take to kick in. With a TSH of 94, it will probably take awhile for my new t4 to convert to enough t3 to do its job. The first sign I will know it is working, is if my pain in my hip and in …
A Diagnosis: Hypothyroidism
As many of you know, I have struggled with losing those “last ten pounds” for quite a while! I don’t eat much, between 1400-2000 calories per day, and I have exercised religiously, daily, for more than 10 years!! Finally, a few weeks ago, during a life insurance blood draw, the results came back that my …
