First, the weight loss/fitness challenge. I hit a stumbling block and I hit it hard. I have hypothyroidism, have had it for years, and my dosage on my medication has been steady for that entire time. A couple months ago, the dosage needed to be increased. It took 3 years to get a diagnosis of hypothyroidism in the first place and a little over a month to convince the doctor to check my levels again (I had them checked in February and everything was fine). I finally showed him the handfuls of hair that were falling out and he ordered some new tests. My dosage was increased, I'm not sure it was increased enough, and I went back in today to get everything checked again. I've stayed between 297 and 293 pounds since May and it's very frustrating. However, all of my clothes are a size too big, even without the weight loss, and that is definitely a positive sign.
Third, the book reviews. I have admit that I've been slacking on these and for that I really, sincerely apologize. I've intended to tell the world about some of the amazing gems I've read for the last year and I just haven't taken the time to sit down and write about them.
What else have I been doing with my time? Well, I got a job! Yay and boo. Yay for money but boo for being so freaking busy again. Add to that the fact that I still haven't figured out how to pack a lunch that will still be edible by the time I get to it and that will allow me to continue on my health/weight loss journey and you'll see a very frustrated worker bee.
So, I may not be posting as regularly as I once was but I am going to do my utmost to keep writing about my creative journey. I'm feeling the need to pull the sewing machine out again and I'm on a story telling roll. I may also share things I find out about health and wellness that I find interesting.
Thanks for sticking around and enjoy the posts that are to come!
