Slacker

Hi, my name is Katie and I am a slacker.....

Anyways onwards and forwards I suppose.. So I know its been over a week since I blogged and I am not gonna make any excuses.  I am not gonna make any excuses for the eating and non exercising I have been doing either.  So I figure, its a new day and I will just start over right?   

So I went to the doctor on Monday and had loads of bloodwork done.  Everything from a CBC(complete blood count) to a Protein S test (some members on dad's side have this).  Everything came back good even my A1C which I was worried about.  (3 month blood sugar test).  Well everything was good except my thyroid levels were off which I suspected.  The thyroid gland makes a hormone that helps with metabolism.  So mine is off on the sluggish side.  Can lead to hair loss(check), fatigue(check), weight gain(check).  So I am on a low dose of Synthroid 25mcg I will be retested in 2 months to see how my levels are.  The doc also perscribed me Phentermine which is an appetite suppressant and kinda like speed as well. I took these years ago and lost a lot of weight and kept it of 2 years after too.  So I started that today when I woke up.  I will admit I am a bit jittery and feel like I have butterflies in my stomach.  

So far today I have had a 6" turkey sub from Subway and a can of Mt Dew( caffeine could be leading to being jittery as well.  I am not a big caffeine drinker.)  Gonna go do a Walk away the Pounds dvd in a min since it is raining and I have a short night at work tonight so I don't know what supper will be. I do promise to do a better job of blogging as I know what I have to say is so riveting!
