197, liquid meals and graduation...not in that order

Hey lovely people!

I can now officially say that I am a grad school graduate:) I am happy that I am done so that I can focus on...what else but losing weight:) I have been juicing my meals with having a little protein with each meal. I have no idea about calorie content for the day and that feels nice not to stress how many calories that I ate/drank. I was inspired after watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead to try and fast for at least 30 days. So far I have been fasting for 4 days and have lost 1.5 lbs, which is a huge deal for me since I have an underactive thyroid which causes me to gain weight. So I am now 197 and I think I may be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel. The thyroid meds that I am on are natural so I won't see drastic results like some people do, but I think going natural is worth it in the long run.
The juicing has helped get rid of those post food allergy bumps that I had which makes me happy.
I have been jogging 2.5 miles straight and am trying to up my miles by 0.25 miles every other day.
I am still not happy with the job prospect situation but I hope to be employed again by next month.
Goals next month: New job and 5 lbs lighter.
Now time to get my breakfast juice on.
Have a great day lovelies.

Finally in One-derland

You guys are the first to know that...

I went on the scale this A.M. and for the second day in a row its says 199. I am finally under 200 again. Maybe it’s the thyroid meds I am on, or the liquid fast I did this weekend. Not sure, but I’m glad and I hope that it continues.
I’m kind of tired of getting my hopes up…
I jogged for an hour today with no walking breaks. Yah!

Oh thyroid meds you ask? I found out that I have borderline hypothyroidism which can give the same symptoms of having full fledged hypothyroidism. It causes weight gain (check) inabilty to lose weight despite efforts (check), hair loss (check), always feeling cold (check) among a few other symptoms. I finally found a doctor who listens to me :)

And I am gluten, wheat, corn and some dairy sensitive among a few other random food items. Might help explain why I was getting cysts on my face. They hurt like hell! But since I have changed my diet my skin is clearing up. I do have to be diligent in reading labels. These gluten free pretzels I love happen to have corn starch in them and I broke out recently. Ugh.

School is over in 2 weeks and I cannot wait!
