My podcast on RAI is now up! Hubby has shown me how to do this now so in the future I can do it all by myself. I am so growing up! ;-)

Movie Monday quote is “Tina come get some ham!” I absolutely love this movie! I repeat watch it it is that good!

Feels good to finally get this podcast out.

Oh I forgot – hubby was sawing wood. NO not sleeping. He was sawing wood in the garage during the podcast. Well, composite wood to be exact. He was rebuilding our deck. Sorry for the noise!

I hope your New Years was good!

As most of you know January is Thyroid Awareness Month and to promote this Dear Thyroid and Mary Shomon joined forces to create I am the face of Thyroid Disease.org. It is a wonderful site that promotes Thyroid Disease in a medium that hasn’t been done before – VIDEO! I have posted my video out there as well as Hypoman, Joanna Isbill, Katie Schwartz and many others! My video is about discussing your Thyroid problem with EVERYONE!!! In the past few months I have met people who suffer as I do. ONE just today! It is important to share your story and have opportunities to teach others and also to learn!  It also helps me feel not so alone. We have a great online community but to find someone in the cube next to you suffering from the same thing?!! I consider that priceless. So when I am having a bad day at work- I can run over next door and vent. Maybe even get a hug!

Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile the winter has been hard on me and the end of 2010 was crazy busy for me. You shall see much more of me in 2011 though! I look forward to connecting with all of you. I plan on blogging much more about my disease this year as well as things I am doing to make it better for myself!

I will continue the Podcasts as well and maybe will even venture out into video again soon! I really thought that was a excellent idea in order to get our stories out. I loved watching them all!!!

Below is my video:

I know, I was bad. I planned on Blogging everyday this week and I failed. I have been so busy with work, working out and socializing that I haven’t gotten to do very much blogging. I promise that going forward I will make more of an effort. Life tends to get in the way.

My social calendar has filled up. I consider it a good thing. But not when you have a 2 day test to study for and working out. I am excited to go do things with people and I think it is very important. It’s just, right now, I wanna be a hermit and get some things done. I came home last night expecting to record a podcast (my weekly one with weight management information) and ended up having to fill out some paperwork that needs to get somewhere soon (that’s a story for another day…). October already is filling with events as well.

Working out this week has been good. I joined a coworker on Monday to attend a kickboxing class which was a ton of fun and I burned 700 calories in an hour. We are going to continue to do that next week and do a cycling class on Wednesday together. I am going to only attend the gym in the morning during the month of October. I am starting to stress a little bit about this test. I need to pass this thing this year. I can retake it in May – but I don’t want to give up. This is really important to me – can you tell?

Due to my busy life I haven’t recorded my foods either. That is not good. I need to try to slow down and take the time to do that. So, this coming month –I am going to slow down, study, and record my food and workouts.

ONE GOOD THING that has happened so far this week is that I have managed to take my vitamins every meal except one. I can tell a huge difference in how I feel! I am going to finish out the week strong and take them during the weekend. It will be a challenge because I typically let this stuff lag during the weekends. I am also going to try to record my foods this also I  let lag during the weekends. It’s go big or go home time.

I hope that you all have a good weekend and I will continue to keep you updated on my weight loss progress. 

FYI – As of Monday the 20^th my weight was 185.2. There I said it. It’s on the internet now.

I want to give a shout out to my good friend. Unearthingem! You can find her blog here: Unearthingem Blog Spot. I couldn’t remember her blog name on my podcast and for that I haz sad. Sorry girlie!

My plan is to embarass myself by posting a picture. Which you will find below. I needed a starting point and a shocker to myself to give me motivation to continue. I got that and then some!  YUCK – here it is..

I had a fantastic day at the gym and in terms of my food. I burnt 500 calories in the AM doing weights and riding the bike. Then I went back at night with a friend and did a Kickboxing Jam class and burnt another 700. No way I could eat that many calories in a day so now I have a surplus of calories. I may need those over the weekend though and Wed. we are going out to dinner with friends.

I am doing this to make myself accountable so that I can focus on the task at hand weight loss. And really – to get over myself. I am so worried about my body and the weight gain I needed to put myself out there to try to bust through.

Heading to sleep – I have to get up in the AM.

Hi Everyone! That there is my Kitteh Babee! She wants to see what you are all doing!

I finished another Podcast tonight and right now hubby is working to get it uploaded to the site. This will make a total of 11 podcasts and over 1,500 downloads total. I want to sincerely thank everyone of you for listening. I like recording them – so we make a good team.

Here is a link to the new podcast: Gym Rat

A few things I mention in the Podcast can be found here: Audible (where I get my audio books) and My Fitness Pal (where I log my food and workouts).

Earlier this month I was interview by the Dearthyroid site as part of their Blogger Spotlight. To read my interview visit the Dearthyroid Site.

Enjoy the Podcast and thanks for listening – You Rawk!

As I continue to come out of my rut, inspiration comes out of everything I look at! Things are looking up and they are looking exciting! Grab the new podcast here

In a Rut

New Podcast! Find it here!

In this episode we talk about the effect our disease has on all of our loved ones and all the others we interact with during the day. Enjoy the Podcast!

That is my kitty, Snowy, she warms herself during the winter mornings by the heater in my bathroom. Which just happens to have the scale in front of it. Look at how utterly cute she is! Doesn’t  you just want to pick her up and squeeze her?? Her tail is one of the reason’s we got her.

A new Podcast is out- finally. Sorry it took so long, life majorly got in the way this time. I review my doctors appt in this podcast. I also explain why my doctor has placed me on Magnesium supplements.

Elimination diet update: going well so far!

Enjoy the podcast. It is so late – I am going to be now. Nighty night!

Hi Everyone!

I am currently writting up a new podcast that should be out soon. In it I talk about my currently Doctors appt. As well as one of the supplements I am taking.

The Elimination Diet is going well. But it is challenging at times. It is also a HUGE learning curve. However, I saw the benefits right away and now understand what I need to do to get a little healthier than I am.

Anyone out there on any special diets that have seemed to work for them?
