Biggest Loser Sapphire Spring Melt Off Challenge 2013

OPENING CHALLENGE:

LIST 4 THINGS THAT MIGHT BE HOLDING ME BACK FROM BEING HEALTHY:

1- Thyroid Disease is kicking my butt. My DIL was in hospital this week with pneumonia. Turns out her thyroid function was rock bottom and she was only using 40% of her heart and retaining tons of fluid. Turns out....all of this was thyroid related.

Since I had thyroid cancer back in 2005, I've ignored just how important my thyroid is (was) . I'm gonna read up on it and give ...

LIST 4 THINGS THAT MIGHT BE HOLDING ME BACK FROM BEING HEALTHY:

1- Thyroid Disease is kicking my butt. My DIL was in hospital this week with pneumonia. Turns out her thyroid function was rock bottom and she was only using 40% of her heart and retaining tons of fluid. Turns out....all of this was thyroid related.

Since I had thyroid cancer back in 2005, I've ignored just how important my thyroid is (was) . I'm gonna read up on it and give my "lack of thyroid" the respect it deserves. gonna find out just how that is affecting my whole body.

2 - Thyroid Disease - I have no energy! Okay, I take that back. I might have 2 minutes of energy out of 10 minutes. That is enough to do A Fly Lady Fire Alarm Challenge of collecting 6-12 things that need to be put away or cleaned during each 60 minutes. That's gotta be do-able and would certainly mount up over the period of a whole day.

3. Giving up being over-whelmed. I feel better when I am making small changes in my life. Like staying with the low carb, SlimFast shakes with yogurt and fruit and dragging my butt over to my stat bike for 30 minutes. I programmed that 30 min. into my phone so i get a call everyday at 4:00 to get on the bike.

4. I am going to put my hand weights back beside my chair. I can do hand weights during tv time.

I'll check back at end of ten week spring challenge and see how fantastic I did!!!

Good luck to us all.

Linda,
I felt so sad to read that your yorkie passed. I am so, so sorry.
Maybe the rainbow you saw was her passing over the Rainbow Bridge.

I know how my little pugs are my children now that my own kids are grown and out of the house. Even knowing that I will lose Julia (my older pug) in a few months to cancer is too hard to think about. Love is love no matter the hearts that share it.

Thinking of you sweetie.
Belinda

Linda,
How is my Spark buddy doing?
My week has been pretty good, my little Lily came through her surgery just fine. She also had dental done while she was under, she needed to have 6 teeth removed!!!
I love my little dog, she makes me laugh so much.
Pug Power all the way!
Hope you are doing well.

Belinda

MIRROR, MIRROR ( a poem to make you giggle)


Mirror mirror on the wall do you have to tell it all?
Where do you get the glaring light to make my clothes look just too tight?

I think I'm fine but I can see you won't cooperate with me.
The way you let the shadows play you'd think my hair was turning grey.

What's that you say, a double chin?
No that's the way the light comes in.
If you persist in peering so you'll confiscate my facial glow.

And then if you're not hanging straight you'll tell me next I'm gaining weight
I'm really quite upset with you for giving this distorted view.

I hate you being so smug and wise.
Oh look what's happened to my thighs!
I warn you now oh mirrored wall since we're not on speaking terms at all
If I look like this in my new jeans you'll find yourself in smitherines!
