Squee!!!! If you are not familiar with this box, it is a Fannie May chocolate box. And inside this box are Mint Meltaways. Mint Meltaways are little green and brown squares of minty chocolaty goodness. I love these things. Every time I hear of someone going to Chicago, I request these. Yes, I suppose I could go online and order them, but it is not the same thing. Hubby had a co worker get these for me as he did not have time and she arrived this morning and he came over to my office to give them to me. I squealed...sorry my sweet co workers. Someone thought I had gotten jewelry, but let me tell you, this is just as good. I have only eaten one so far, but I am trying my best not to inhale the whole box. Edit, I have had 3. I have since hidden them from sight.
This brings me to today's " I do not understand" topics of the day. I brag on my hubby. A lot. He is an awesome person and why shouldn't I? Some people have the notion that the more you brag, post pics, say you love your significant other that it is fake and not real. Where do they come up with this garbage? So, if I dislike my hubby that means I need to post/write about how much I love him? That is messed up. I am a verbal and outspoken person and love to brag on hubby, kids, family, friends, etc. It is how I am made. I guess if you need to make yourself feel better by thinking that it is all fake, go right ahead.
My water challenge is going great! 60 ounces is a piece of cake. I can kinda see a few differences, but not too much yet. My appetite is better then when I was on 82, so the scale is slowly starting to move in the better direction. I am still 6 pounds shy of my ideal weight. I am going to the doctor tomorrow so hopefully I will not get the lecture. I have Hashimoto's disease, which basically means my thyroid is dying. The poor thing. It is just worn out. I take the ever popular synthroid. My doctor says I am quite the anomaly because I should be gaining weight and heavier because of Hashimoto's. Thank goodness that is not the case. I have had it for about 6 years. They originally thought I had a tumor on my pituitary gland because I would be in mid conversation and forget the next word. It was a bit freaky. Luckily, we were living in Houston, Texas at the time and I found a fabulous Endocrinologist who diagnosed me straight away with Hashimoto's. So every 6 months, I go see the wonderful Dr. Nimmo and every year I have an ultrasound to check the size of my thyroid. Luckily, it has not had too much shrinkage over the last few years and my synthroid dose has only been changed once. One of the side effects of this that I can not seem to shake is fatigue. I am never 100% and every so often I just crash. Does not matter what time of day it is, I crash. I have learned when this is about to happen and prepare for it. Usually it is toward the end of the day, so I will come home from work and snuggle up on the couch and sleep, get up, have some dinner, and fall back asleep by 9 or 10 and not wake up until the next morning. This is unusual for me. I am a night owl and do not need much sleep. But, when it's time, I am out! This leads to my tip for the day. Listen to your body. Not feeling right, go to the doctor. Need to sleep? Give up and sleep. Need a mental health day? Take the time. We are often guilty of pushing ourselves and not listening to the clues our body is giving us.
Tonight is cheer practice for Ellie. She was practicing hand stand push ups last night. Hubby joined along. I almost gave it a try, but it has been years since I have done a hand stand and I was already in bed with a good book. Maybe I will try tonight, with a spot. I can do cartwheels so I should be able to master the handstand. Maybe that will be my new challenge. To master the handstand, again. What is your new challenge?
Have a wonderful Tuesday!!!
Hugs
