Starting Again

I did almost everything wrong last week as far as my diet went - eating the wrong foods, eating too much food, not getting in my fruits and veggies every day, and just to top it all off I didn't exercise once. Tsk tsk.

 

However, by trying to moderate my food intake somewhat, I still managed to lose a pound. Down to 204 pounds, which still isn't slim by any stretch but feels better than 208!

 

So I have decided that this week becomes my "do-over". I am starting again with every intention of eating the right foods in the right amount, and abstaining from the wrong foods. And yes, getting in some exercise, too! I am determined to feel better this week.

 

I did realize this weekend that I was feeling rather thyroid-ish, so much of the problem may have been due to reducing my coffee intake, since caffeine is a thyroid stimulant. I bought more coffee yesterday, and my fingers are crossed! I am happily drinking a mug of it right now. I will spare you the details but it's amazing how many things go wrong in your body when your thyroid levels are low. In fact, that was what clued me in, having so many different kinds of unwellness going on at once. And that includes the depression.

 

So! Gird the loins and fortify the metaphors, world, because it's upwards and onwards - or should that be downwards and onwards?! - for Laura On A Diet.
