The Bitching, The Buff & The Beautiful

Jodi...excuse me if I am blind but I didnt see a list of your symptoms and your blood results (or did you not get them back yet?)...anyway....if you could list them all in one place that would be helpful (PM me if you dont want them posted...or call Jodie and we can talk).

you said FSH is "whacked" but what was the #....is it high or low...this would help shed light on your thyroid issue.....also, who and when were you diagnosed as hyperthyroid with weight gain...it is true that 20% gain weight, just wondering how you came to that conclusion and are you confident in your Dr's diagnosis.

also why did you start DHEA...how long were you taking it...any other pro-hormones?...when did your symptoms start.....and a MILLION other question...lets start with these for now...lol!

 

[DrChiro]

it could just be an overdose of fish oil causing all your problems....fish oil is the devil

(kidding of course)...but now that i think about it...what brand do you take....are they pharmaceutical grade and certified free of toxins...especially mercury.....and do you eat ALOT of fish, especially tuna...for some reason mercury poisoning keeps popping in my head.

 

[Jodi]

I'll pm you Craig

 

[JLB001]

Ok *big sigh* ...here's the deal...my life sucks, been battling w/ depression for a while now....but, it's not gonna change so I just have to suck it up as best I can. The only thing good right now is training...it was a real good idea for me to get a training partner...so I just need to focus on training and SCREW everything and everyone else

I haven't had time to do a program yet...just been friggen winging it for 2 weeks now

..... didn't wanna leave but didn't know what else to do so I left


.....no cardio....haven't done cardio in about a week now. And I have been eating like shit for the entire week as well.

 

[nikegurl]

so sorry to hear this wild. i think if nothing else is clear....it's obvious we all need to move in together. i vote for jodi's house

i'm not doing so hot myself. just can't find a groove lately. motivation never seems to last more than a day or two or three... i'm not eating crap but i'm also not doing the cooking i need to do in order to pack and plan all of my meals.

i still want to get all the way "back on the wagon" and stay there but it's been a hell of a struggle.

gym tonight - chest and bis.

 

[PreMier]

 

[nikegurl]

i suck.

i didn't go to the gym last night.
i did eat cheerios all day long. seriously.

 

[PreMier]

What kept you from going?

Where is Wild?

 

[Triple Threat]

Where is Wild?

Too much time painting and not enough time to workout.

 

[nikegurl]

at least she's painting. that's one step better than what my lame self has been up to.

heads are gonna roll when jodi gets back. (please hurry!)

 

[Triple Threat]

C'mon NG. Today's a good day to get back on track.

 

[nikegurl]

C'mon NG. Today's a good day to get back on track.

damn. i really like this post. so eloquent in its simplicity.

this week is off to a good start. diet has been in order. if i just keep going 'til it feels like habit again i should be ok....

made turkey chili on sunday. i put a bit too much chili powder in for my taste but i'm eating it anyway - too much time and turkey and beans in there to waste. i'm fiddling with my diet plan a bit this week just to find the meal combos that are the right balance of tolerable and easy. once i lock in i tend to eat the same stuff over and over.

i can't say i've been doing well at all .... but i haven't given up yet either.

i realized something this weekend. i hate having pudge on my body BUT i like being fuller and bigger than i used to be. i want to be leaner but i don't want to be much smaller. i was way too scrawny before (now i'm too pudgy so maybe i'll find the middle ground)

 

[Triple Threat]

Anybody home?

 

[nikegurl]

yep!

i'm doing pretty well. i haven't missed any workouts or eaten any crap. i'm not logging the workout this week (just don't feel like it ) but at least i'm doing them. (small progress)

the turkey chili i made sucks i think i mentioned that before

 

[nikegurl]

jodie come home

wild come back

 

[Jodi]

I'm home

 

[JLB001]

I was wondering wehre you were. I was gonna call you today but got busy. How was everything?

 

[Jodi]

I had a great trip. I miss my family already. I went to a Sox game, ate a ton of fresh seafood, visiting my friends and family. It was a lot of fun. Would you all believe me if I told you that I ate healthy the ENTIRE time? Well, guess what? I did. Not that I wanted to but with my body won't let me eat crappy right now

 

[Emma-Leigh]

I'm home

YAY!! You're back!!

How are you going? Are you feeling better? What have you been up to?

 

[Jodi]

We must have posted the same time

Thanks, nice to be back. I'm doing, I guess. I have to go for bloodwork tomorrow morning. I want off of this medicine. I feel out of it and no energy. Sleeping alot too

I actually ran almost everyday I was home too. LOL!

Man, I got a TON of catching up to do. I got to see how you and every one else have been

 

[tucker01]

Welcome Back Jodi

Glad to see you had a good time back home

 

[aggies1ut]

Welcome back. I think a little R&R and going home was just what you needed. Your toes seem to be doing better too, if you were running a lot. Have you started working from home yet? How's your house coming along?

Btw, so now that we know you've been working out and eating clean, it's time for you to kick NG and wild in the butt to get on it.

 

[nikegurl]

so glad you're back. now we have to:

1) get you healthy
2) round up wild and drag her back here
