Check up today has reignited my fire!

I'm officially pre-diabetic. I want to be officially not diabetic. So, I'm all in.

Weight loss is a little tricky for me since having a total thyroidectomy 8 years ago. I have to have regular bloodwork to check my thyroid levels and other things.

Today, everything was out of whack, and we're working on that. On top of that, my blood pressure was high. That never happens to me and I'm pretty sure it was the cuff size. I mean, it has never been sky high like it was today. I'm going to start monitoring that at home on a regular basis to make sure it was a fluke.

So, I'm going to be cutting the sugar and cleaning up my carbs as well as adding a little exercise in there.

I'm planning to keep a streak calendar including:

taking meds on time
going to bed at a decent hour (before midnight)
getting enough sleep (7+ hours)
taking a daily multi-vitamin
getting at least 5000 steps/day to start
logging my food, weight, exercise into My Fitness Pal

When I plan to do this, I always succeed. Always. When I don't plan, I fail. Always.

I'm ready to succeed!

your blog sounds so similar to my life. I am hypothyroid and diabetic add in a diagnoses of morbid obese and you have quite the mix. I have to be watching my weight for a while and all the charts now point towards just obese. My blood sugar is under control thanks to medication and exercise. My diet has always been fairly good although I do have my moments when I am into the not so good stuff. I found that the exercise was the key for me and the control. Unfortunately, as you know the thyroid is something we just cant control, of course having surgery there is no choice but medication. I want you to know that it is doable, you have some great goals and I want to be here to support you in anyway I can.
