4/27/11 297lbs

Hooray! I lost a pound! Considering the past two weeks have been my busiest ever, that is a miracle. I don't even know what I did to lose. I didn't walk, I didn't drink nearly enough water. I did make pretty good choices though. We had lots of salads for dinner, even had a salad for lunch over the weekend. Our Easter dinner was a disaster, so I didn't eat a whole lot of it. How many times do I have to tell people not to buy meat at Walmart?!?! Steve bought ribs at Walmart and they were basically bone-in slabs of rubber despite his painstaking, day-long preparation.

Oh, Thyroid Update! The doc said that the first test it was up and then the second test (which was a week later) it was down a little bit. All my other hormone levels are normal, so she doesn't want to put me on a thyroid medication that could cause heart palpitations and high blood pressure. My Grandpa died from a hyperthyroid, so I'm not in a big hurry to speed up my thyroid if its not needed. I'm going back in September to have another check. She said if its up then she's going to send me to an endocrinologist. My hope is that by September I will be down about 50-60 lbs and I'll be healthy as a horse!

I don't have much else to report this week. Like I said, I kinda feel like I've cheated the scale this week. But that one pound has sky-rocketed my motivation, so next week I'll have plenty to talk about.
