I have decided lately that I really need to get back in control of my life so that hopefully I can feel better about myself. I am so tired all the time that I have no energy by the end of the day so nothing ever gets done. I am tired of living in a messy house...I am tired of being fat...I am tired of feeling like this!! I am trying my hardest to get back in control of my house and my body. It might take me some time to do it but I am going to do it. I started this week by buying lots more fruits and veggies to eat. I am more aware of what I am eating and trying to pick better snacks to eat during the day. My next step is to start exercising consistently! I am also going to tackle all the clutter on my kitchen counters. I love it when there is nothing on my counter tops but that doesn't happen all that often.
I get some surprising news today. I was in at the doctor's yesterday and they tested my thyroid levels. They were a little off! There is actually a reason why I have felt really tired and have been a little depressed. Normally TSH levels are around 3 or 4 and mine were at 12. I have hypothyroidism which means my thyroid is underactive. When my TSH levels are high, my thyroid isn't working like it should and I need more medication to make my thyroid work normally. I went to Target this afternoon to pick up the increased dose of thyroid medicine. I really hope that it will help me have more energy and be a little happier...I would also be happy if I could lose a couple more pounds but we'll see!! I hate having thyroid issues and being 100% dependant of medication to function normally but I am really grateful that it is a condition that can be corrected so that I can function normally.
