Well, I went to the doctor here in Montana for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I explained that I'd been monitored for hypothyroidism in the past, and so my new doc (who is very nice, by the way) took a blood sample once again. He said my numbers were well within the normal range, and that since I've been normal for a year, he doesn't think I have anything to worry about. We'll keep monitoring it, but not as often as my other doctor was recommending. So it looks like I've dodged a bullet. Still, I have to wonder what was making my numbers wonky before. Maybe I'll do some research on that eventually.
Anyway, I haven't been on a scale in a couple of weeks, so I don't really have an update for that. I don't feel any smaller, so I'm probably not. I'll get on the scale this weekend to be sure.
One thing I did this past weekend was go to a seminar on self-defense. I learned a lot that I hope I can apply to my daily life, because you just never know what can happen. We were taught a few moves to help fend off attackers, and they will make great exercise if I practice them daily. I'm thinking that's just what I'll do too.
Well, that's all that's going on currently on my weight loss journey. Still walking the path, though I sometimes stumble on rocks (last week it was a burger joint with yummy sweet potato fries and Cherry Coke). I'll get there though.

It's March
So I weighed myself a couple of days ago, and I was 169.8. Yay, I'm back in the 160's. Barely, of course, but still. I haven't weighed this little in at least a year.
It's starting to warm up and get sunny around here, so my little one and I have been going on "adventures" around the neighborhood. That's what she calls them anyway. I just call them walks with lots of breaks, because my little one likes to take the binoculars and stop and look at everything along the way. Still we're outside in the fresh air, and we're moving, so that's what matters.
Yesterday I lost a little in the battle for my willpower. I binged on Frosted Mini-Wheats, of all things. I have to say, while I don't feel guilty, I definitely wasn't left satisfied after indulging my craving. Makes me think I'd have been better off just sticking to the appropriate serving size after all.
Today has been a very weird day. After fighting off hunger almost constantly for the past two weeks, suddenly I'm not hungry at all. I actually had to force myself to eat lunch, because I still felt full from a breakfast I'd had five hours before. I don't know if it's just a fluke or what. Maybe it was the binge I had yesterday that reminded me that food isn't the end-all, be-all. It's just more evidence that I'm making this all up as I go. Whatever. I'll keep on fighting the good fight, and I'll see you around!

Another Quick Update
Well, I'm still at 15 pounds down. I don't know if that's because I hit a plateau, or whether I'm building muscle from all this snow I've had to shovel in the last week. When I reach 20 pounds lost, I plan on rewarding myself with something. I was thinking a new pair of shoes, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I'll be back later when I have some progress to speak of. TTFN!
