Since 2003, I have been struggling with the regulation of my thyroid hormone. I went through a procedure to deactivate or reduce the overactivity of my thyroid called radioactive iodine therapy. Well, I have not had any function in the thyroid for over six years. There have been times in which it has been regulated, but never where it should be. Guess what! I asked God for a new thyroid. A brand new one. I believe that this will happen for me, I am being patient and thanking him for restored thyroid function. Anyway, I went to the doctor last week for a three month check up on my thyroid and discovered that the dosage of synthroid I have been taking has not been high enough. Not only had my thyroid levels remained low since my last doctor's visit, it has gotten worse. It amazing though. I usually feel like crap when my thyroid levels aren't right. I have been feeling great. I have had extremely cold hands, but it's February. The doctor is sending me to an endocrinologist. I hope its one different than the one I have been going to since 2003. I'll let you know how that goes.
This morning I ran 3 miles. I took it easy today. I really wasn't feeling well. Fred and I both have sore throats and chest congestion. I completed a short strength training routine and went home to prepare for work. For lunch I had a salad while I read Finally Thin again. This book is amazing. Its even better this time around. Oh that reminds me, I went to weight in today and I have lost a total of 48lbs at Weight Watchers. This is not my official total, but my WW total. I am so excited. 13 more weeks before my one year anniversary since the day I decided to permanently get on the path to a healthy life. I am gonna go ahead and bring it home this last stretch. I am going to give it my all and reach my goal weight.
