Feb 5th Picture of the Day - finds from CostcoI've been feeling a lot better lately. My TSH levels have dropped again, to more normal levels. So it appears the thyroid might be OK after all. So what IS/WAS going on with me then?
My theory now, is that I burned the candle at both ends for too long in November and December and then paid the price. Stress, people, is what did me in. All work, no exercise and too much restaurant food makes Mizz D is a dull gal indeed!
I've been wearing my pedometer religiously since I got it. I even forgot to take it off my PJs last night and wore it to bed...oh, for crying out loud! How silly is that? I guess I know for sure now that I don't sleep walk, thanks to the zero steps reading this a.m. (Pedometer automatically resets to zero at midnight every night.)
I figured out what the aerobic steps are: anytime you walk more than 10 minutes straight, the pedometer calls that "aerobic".
So, now when walking Mizz Lucy I keep moving, pacing back and forth, when she stops to check her "pee-mail" so I don't lose those valuable aerobic minutes being logged. Valuable why? Just for the mental boost it gives me, to read those aerobic minutes logged at the end of the day and know that I was walking with purpose and energy instead of just accumulating steps shuffling around at work or in the kitchen.
So I look kinda strange, but Mizz L doesn't seem to mind. In fact, I am sure if you asked her she would say the pedometer is the greatest thing ever as it makes her mistress take her for more frequent and longer walks! And now that is it staying light out longer (Feb 6th POD, taken at 6 pm), walking the pooch is much more enjoyable too.
