My weight is not changing at all.

BUT...people are asking me if I have lost weight, my vitals are better--although I need to get back to the doctors to check-in.

My thyroid is broken...when I was first diagnosed in 2006, my tsh levels were off the charts. 5.0 is considered high, the clinical range is 300.0 and my level was 3,364. The senior endocrinologist asked where I was hospitalized. I wasn't...I was working full time, studying for a business designation (10-12 hours a week) and raising our daughter by myself.(the hubby at the time was an over the road driver and gone for 2-3 weeks at a time.)

My levels are now (6 yrs later and many changes in dosage)is entirely too low. When I went in earlier this year(Jan), my level was 0.00000. They lowered my dose, rechecked 6 weeks later and my level was at 0.00006 still. Lowered my dose, rechecked 6 weeks later and my level was at 0.00094...lowered my dose, recheck needed.

It's a bit frustrating; yet,I use it as an excuse, I think. Oh my weight doesn't change because my thyroid is broken. No--it's because my activity level isn't that high and I've been eating like shit as of late.

So, I am going to commit to three things:

1. Really focus on watching my added sugar.
2. Walk every day at work. I totally slacked off and am now committing to 1.2 miles a day...this is in addition to the Monday and Wednesday walk.
3. Commit to yoga and weight lifting 2x/week. Low weights and short duration, because the focus is on consistency.
