Checkpoint

When I opened my Levothyroxine box this morning I was surprised to realise I only have 10 left. I should have a couple less than that, but I did miss 2 earlier in the month.

So I called in for a repeat prescription and decided to book in a blood test too, since its been a month almost.
I just thought it a good idea to get a test done and see the results now, rather than get one done in August for the specialist appointment in September.
Not to rush things, but I'd like to know a little about whats happening at this time instead of in another 2 months. There's little point in continuing on the wrong dose of Thyroxine is there?

So, its another HOT day, yet I'm feeling great. No, not great.... FANTASTIC!
I've got through more laundry, done the shopping and continued on my cleaning streak by tackling the wash baskets and dusting a little more.
We're forecast some rain in the next few days, so I've decided to iron then, and leave the windows until afterwards.

I've never been so focused or determined when it comes to cleaning. In fact, I've never liked it at all, but now... I can't stop myself from tidying a little here and there. It's burning off excess energy and making me feel so happy in myself. I feel so "up" that its even making the cat like me... the cheeky thing won't stay off my knee.

I've cut down on caffeine with the heat, and drank water instead, along with orange juice ice lollys that DD made with me. She's getting so cute, and loves to spend time making buns and things.
At nursery today they made carrot cakes, and she's now decided we need to make them at home, so thats a fun project for us. Anyone know any good recipes?

I took stock today of how lucky I am to have a OH that adores his family, and a little girl who is so loveable and loving that I never stop wanting hugs from her. It's a happy time for us, and I'm glad we have to wait a little for #2. It means we can enjoy what we have now for a little longer.
Not that its going to be less happy when #2 arrives. I think it'll be even happier, but we'll never get this particular moment back, so I'm going to make the very most of each day whilst it lasts.

Also, I've spent a week now swapping chocolate for salad (not dieting, just making... erm... healthier choices.) Last week I weighed 14stone 5 (201 lb) ... this week... 14stone7 (203lb). So I'm guessing since I have barely eaten a bit of junk, that I'm not doing it right hahaha, so its time to turn on the yoga dvd's I guess.

My target this next week is to lose the 3lb. I'm gonna do that by eating a little less bread and pastry. Not cutting them out... no way... but I'll have wraps instead of sandwiches and similar... any tips?

I know it could be a problem with the thyroxine that I've put on 2lb... and it could also be that its almost my "me time", or even just the heat... but I'm going to try. Nobody said it'd be easy and I feel healthier, which is what matters in the end.
