I went to see my Thryoid Doctor Today. "Lets make it to the five year mark please you have one more year and then I will be happy" she says to me reading my labs. After having Thyroid Cancer they give you a mark of 5 years to get through cancer free to decrease the risks of any cancer coming back. I have 1 more year, April 1 2018 will be my 5 year anniversary. So this year is huge for me.
Problem is my levels have been awful way downfrom 6 months ago which makes me in "hypo" mode. "Let's see what changed she said. Your weight changed." Oh great I thought just great! She said I had to loose weight, sleep more and increase the dose of my meds. All boring stuff I know. But really she's right. I put on seven pounds in less than a year. That's a lot, I mean some thryoid pateints can gain that in a month but still. The more weight I am the higher the does I will need so here's my plan...well I don't really have one yet but here's my goal. I have to see her again in 6 weeks and well it gives me 6 weeks to show her I mean business. I have to have some sort of plan to loose weight within that time frame, so limit my carbs and increase my exercise and sleep. Like before 11:00 be in bed, like now I should be sleeping but am not. So with this all said I have a BIG change ahead of me and it's all worth it right to be healthy, cancer free, here for my kids and family and loved ones. I know feel like crap some days and achey.
So welcome my blog posts of pushing healthy on you too cause you didn't think I would actually be doing this all alone, right?!
