So I visited my Endocrinologist last week. We had a long discussion about weight loss and the struggle I have without a thyroid. We went step by step, my chosen exercises at the gym, my food choices. He changed up my medicine and added some T3 and slightly lowered my T4. After a week of eating how he wanted me to, and going to the gym and doing a minimun of 60 minutes of cardio, I must say I feel good and have lost 5 lbs. Who would have thought! But it takes a strong will to make the right choices as well.
Last night, we went to Carrabba's for dinner. I love that place but having Italian pasta is probably not on my eating plan. So even thought it was hard, I chose to pick the grilled chicken and a side of Broccoli. Yep, in a pasta restaurant I had broccoli and chicken.
Seeing my five pound loss in one week, gave me the boost I needed. It told me that all those hard choices were worth it. Today, some grilled Kabobs for lunch then it's off to the grocery store for some more healthy food. Till then!
