What is the deal? What is the update? When is the show?
You haven't deserted us for facebook like Lisa have you 
No. I've been pretty sick with the hypothyroidism. I think I told you I was getting ready for my yearly cancer scan. They take me off the synthroid and put me on cytamel for 4 weeks and then on nothing for 2 (I'm just about done with the 1st week of none...one more week of none) and then my scan on the 19th. I will be put back on the synthroid on the 20th most likely. They take me off the meds because the radioactive iodine they will give me before the scan attaches to thyroid tissue/cells whether synthetic (the meds) or natural (my own that might be left in my body) and will show up on the scan. They want to make sure they do not confuse synthetic for real thyroid tissue/cells because if they do see anything...it will just ring bells to watch for possible cancer and treat me again with a high dose of radiation (which they don't want to do if they don't have to).
So with that said, being on the low dosage of thyroid replacement for 4 weeks and now a week of nothing...my body is in severe hypothyroidism which is making me feel like shiat. I'm lethargic, cranky as hell, confused mentally, my skin and hair is getting dry, tired, very short tempered, sore, no appetite and just aweful. My job/boss is wonderful. He is letting me work remotely and I've been working a couple hours, resting, then working and resting again. I sometimes work until after 9pm just so they know I am getting my job done and not screwing off. I am however missing many days at the gym although I do make sure I get up and do my cardio right away. So far I don't think I've lost too much. We did go to the gym tonight (with my daughter, she moved down here
and trained a little back. I don't over do it, lol, I can't...don't have the strength to but I it makes me feel better that I went.
Here is a picture taken tonight. I'm 5 weeks out from the show, have 1 week left of being without my thyroid meds. I hope I don't fall behind.
