Out with the Old, In with the New

Just messing around today.... got excused from jury duty and have been playing around on the computer. All of the 60 people called for the pool on Monday and asked to come back today were released. The person must have plea bargained. I waited around for about an hour and a half but wasn't called onto any of the cases beginning today, so all of us leftovers were sent home. And, I don't have to come in Thursday or Friday!



As you can see I decided to lighten things up a bit and changed my blog template. Hope you like!



Last week I had my TSH levels tested for my hypothyroidism. Just been feeling out of whack lately and feeling like I am gaining weight despite all my running and eating well. I was low so they reduced my Synthroid dosage from 125 to 100. Hopefully this helps. I also purchased the book Living Well With Hypothyroidism by Mary Shomon and it talks about ways to battle this weight gain despite proper diet and exercise. One of the many things she advocates is a low glycemic diet. So I'll be trying this out. I'll let you know how it goes. I also plan to do it within the boundaries of Weight Watchers which is a program I am familiar with.



My Tuesday update:

Weight watcher points goal for weight range= 22points
earned for exercise=8 Ran 5.3 miles with Michelle
total points used=33
Used 3 bonus points out of 35 allotted for the week. Paul and I went out to lunch at the Powerhouse for a date while the kids are at Grandma and Grandpa's. I ate the Black bean burger with bleu Cheese and mushrooms. I only ate 3/4 of the french fries and drank 1.5 glasses of strawberry lemonade. I think I did pretty well.

Wednesday update (so far)
Weight watcher points goal for weight range= 22points
earned for exercise=8 ran 5.3 miles on my own
spent 16 so far and have 14 left over for dinner.
I plan not to use all of them and to eat salad with grilled chicken. Paul is out golfing so I only need to cook for one!

Grace and peace you you.
