Either Spammers or Really Bored People

Its interesting me to come on here after so long and to see that I get an average of 25 page views a month. For all of you not that are not here to spam my comments with a bunch of stuff I cant even read (nor try to), I must say "Welcome" and "Sorry I don't write on here anymore for the moment." I bet by now most of my links are broken too. Sad. Ce la vie.

Yay!

Masterpiece Theatre started again! I watched the first one, it was really good. You can see them online at http://www.pbs.org/ and by clicking on Masterpiece. Might need to play with the start and stop on it to get it to work right but it will if you have patience. :) Enjoy.

My Lazy Thyroid and Me

I went in for a physical the last week and they did the all the normal labs that they do and stuff. Everything came back normal except for my thyroid gland. It wasn't producing enough of the hormones that its supposed to and as a result my metabolism has been way down among other things.

This news has sorta been one of those things where once you know it, everything just fits into place. Like how I gained 30lbs over like a month and a half despite no changes in diet, etc from before. I had guessed that I got to the age where my metabolism just decided to crap out >.>. That happens right? To twenty-one year olds? I dunno. I suppose I didn't look too much into it.

I also assumed that what turned out to be facial swelling was just 'cause of the extra weight I had gained. Not to mention the pressure on my wind pipe. It was getting a little more difficult to breathe for awhile there. I thought it was just neck fat crushing my throat -_-. So I suppose now that all fat people dont feel that way at my weight.

All those symptoms come on so gradually they are easy to miss until a big change sorta happens. I think in about 3 days or so I'm supposed to be feeling more normal. I do admit though that after 7~8 months of this I dont remember what 'normal' is like. The pills they gave me sorta make me act a little drunk but I guess its worth it.

When I went to the doctor yesterday I asked her about weight loss. She recommended two places. One being Weight Watchers, which I cant afford, and the other SparkPeople.com.

Its free to use and is just like Weight Watchers only online and free. If you want, it can plan your daily meals and even compile a grocery list for the week for you. It keeps track of how many calories you eat and helps you to track how many you burn when you exercise. Its really awesome.

You can set goals in it and it seems really helpful. Im not letting them plan my meals but I do enter in what I eat and it tells me how I'm doing nutritionally. It helps you set goals and everything. I think its really helpful to use and I hope I'll get good results with it.

Heres the link for any of you that want to try it out:
http://www.sparkpeople.com

Might as well look into it, right? :)

I suppose I was right....

Obama did win. Lets see how that goes.

I take back what I said previously. Thank you for the information.
