'Tis True

The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication.
- Cecil B. DeMille

If you aren't going all the way, why go at all?
- Joe Namath

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

Cowgirl UP!

Okay, so I told Annette and Wendy and Nathalie ... and whomever else reads the LGNC forum, I was going to state some new goals today and get back on track. Mentally I'm not really ready for this although I want to be. I have given it some thought and even though I will be fine-tuning it this week here goes ...

Going back to 2-a-day workouts at least 3 days a week. They might not be as long as the LGNC workouts, but I plan to do a quick workout at lunch and another one in the evening whenever po… Continue

And we wonder why …

Why is America's obesity rate rising? Because of Bozo journalism like this:

and the "EXPERTS" this guy interviewed!! C'mon people ... WAKE UP!!

Putting it out there - blue day

Eh, can't say I'm operating full-tilt. I'm basically taking it easy on myself. It's been really busy this week in all areas. Back to school, introducing new branding at work, appointments. I've had a couple of days my meals haven't been that great (lack of planning on my part) and one workout a day. I'm not even going near the accumulator or the meltdowns as those wipe me out for the most part. Revisited the IMT and was surprised how much easier it was. But I figure something is better than noth… Continue

Adrenal fatigue bites

Yesterday I had to go get my blood drawn so my doc can check my thyroid levels. I drive about 1 hour to the clinic I attend so lunch workout was shot. Then when I got around to an evening workout I was so tired I only did 2 rounds of the individual circuit. I hate to say it, risking sounding like a complete wimp and a whiner, but I believe that the intense workouts - meltdown circuits, accumulator, etc., are catching up with me. I had a very hard time getting through only 1 individual circuit -… Continue

Back in the Saddle Again

Alrighty then, enough of my little pity party .. waah waah.. yadda, yadda, yadda. But thanks to Wendy and Annette I'm still here, and I haven't given up! Thank goodness for the internet! I think I need to keep blogging to help keep myself on track.

Eats for the past couple of days have been really good even though I may be eating a little too much sweet corn from my Dad's garden! : ) But it tastes SOOOO good! At least it's the meal after my workout so maybe it's not been too damaging! This time… Continue

Hi Melissa!
I am good! Just got over H1N1, which wasn't a fun week, but well, now I don't need to worry about getting the vaccine anymore (which I wouldn't have gotten anyway, but my son has asthma, so I wanted it for him - he had it too!). I slacked off quite a bit in terms of workout and diet, and have gained back about 5 lbs, but still fit into my new size 6 pants. I will probably do a 30 day ED blitz to get rid of the extra weight again.

How are you? Didn't hear from you in a long time! BTW: I started my own blog: www.annettesroadtofitness.blogspot.com, where I try to every once in a while chronicle my journey. Check in if you like!
What are you doing now??? Stay in touch please

Hi Melissa,
sorry to hear that the thyroid medicine outage is affecting you so much, I really hope the other medicine works for you! Again, I realize how little I know about thyroid issues! I just saw this article, maybe it is interesting for you, about how bromides affect the thyroid:

Let's stay in touch please, I miss our daily "conversations", but right now the Dax site is so slow that I barely ever log on anymore. What about you?
have a great weekend,
Annette

Hi Melissa:

I just got another month of Naturethroid. I guess I'll just take this month to month and if I run out, I'll have to go back to synthetic until the shortgage is over. Hopefully, my parmacy has enough to see us through.

Sorry to hear you are having such difficulties. How are you doing on the new formulation of Armour?

Hmmm, T-150 - not sure I want to go there, yet. If you do end up taking it, you'll have to let me know how it goes.

Ugh, I hate all this thyroid business. I always wonder if I brought it on myself with my crazy crash dieting in my younger days. I wish it was something that we could "fix" through clean eating and exercise.

Okay, griping over!

Hi Melissa:

The thyroid shortage is freaking me out. I tried to get a refll the other day, but it was too soon for insurance to pay for it. My pharmacy says they have four bottles of the stuff, but I don't know how many people are using it, so how long it will last.

So, I hear you are taking a new supplement. What is it? I need all the help I can get.

I hope you are able to get the thyroid meds you need. If your pharmacy does not have it, check out other phamacies - you could always move your precscription.

Hope everything else is going well!

Hi There,
long time to talk... How are you doing? How is life after the challenge for you? I am still eating fairly clean, about 90% ED, but only work out about 5 days a week now. Gained a few pounds back, but feel good! I did need the break from twice daily workouts...
Hope all is good with you

Hi Melissa:

I've actually had a rough couple of weeks, but I don't think it is related to the thyroid. I was feeling really rundown and wiped out. Also, my eyes were super puffy and swollen. At first I suspected the thyroid, but then my eyelids started burning and flaking. I still don't know why it happened, but I'm almost back to normal. Last week, I took a recovery week - just yoga and walking. I felt ready to start up again, but I've pulled a muscle in my shoulder/neck and can barely move my head. I've been doing stretches, mobilty moves and some light kettlebell work, but that's it.

I definitely could have more energy, but I've been working long days. Once I cut my hours back, if I don't see an improvement, I will ask for another blood test.

How are you doing now? I know you were having a tough time recently.

Hi Melissa,
I completely agree with you on the let-down! It actually made me almost mad, which I think to a big degree caused me to drop out last week, mentally and also physically to a degree. The beginning was great, but then it felt the 30/30 group had all his attention and we just got the leftovers. On the bright side, that group also brought a lot of energy that was otherwise completely missing. And now, knowing that he is far away, I just hate reading about all the raving e-mails and great results that he seems to be getting! Sounds just so wrong, since we are all struggling, and I doubt that there are a bunch of people that just rocked and rolled and never posted. So yes, I am a little angry right now with the canned e-mails from previous challenges.

Yes, I reached my original goals, but it almost went back from there. I need to re-think my goals and how I want to get there. I think by next week I am ready for something again, but I know that I won;t workout twice a day! No way! I do have to go back to ED though, I can really tell how my body deteriorates when I eat wheat and sweets... Amazing, I never really noticed before!

What do you think: by next weekend we both publish our new goals, and our strategy to get there??? I enjoy your support so much, if it weren't for you and Wendy, and at times Margot, I would have dropped out a long time ago I think....

Hi Melissa,
our last day on LGN! How does it make you feel? I have to say, I am glad it is over, the last few weeks were rough (besides us no one really posts, but then Dax writes in his e-mails about the many positive e-mails and great results he gets - it makes me angry!). Also it is way too much exercise right now, I started this week doing my own thing again. I don't want to stop, but I need to regroup I think. What are you going to do???

Hi Melissa,
I like watching The Renegade Health show, a raw food daily You tube show, and Kevin just had something on thyroids and cruciferous veggies. Check out the first two shows, and then read all the comments on the second show (about what can not be eaten raw) I have to admit I don;t understand everything they are saying about the thyroid, since I luckily don't have an issue, but it might be interesting for you: http://renegadehealth.com/blog/

Hi there! Did you get the results of your latest blood tests? What is going on? How are you feeling? Do you work out right now or do you have to cut back completely? Have you tried lower intensity cardio sessions with a few higher intensity intervalls? Maybe that does not affect you as much while still giving you some calorie burn?

Natasha, I used an organic hemp protein powder throughout the duration of my time on ED. LOVED it! Blended with organic yogurt and a dynamic greens product along with a little frozen fruit and ice post-workout (sometimes with a little agave nectar...

Great goals Melissa, hope you get your thyroid meds straighted out too. I'm not ready, don't know if I'll ever be mentally ready for ED 100%. I have made good changes, each week I made improvements, I like Annettes idea about power statements. Let...
