Let’s just say that after today I UNDERSTAND WHY I have felt so bad! Somehow within the last few months I just neglected the fact that I have Hashimoto’s. I don’t have a blood infection, I have Hashimoto’s. My online Holistic Doctor told me that towards the end of last year. I was used to taking the supplement that helps my body and then within the last few weeks I had been not taking it as much and then the last bit here I didn’t take them at all. BAD BAD BAD. Basically, with Hashimoto’s – which, I “triggered” sometime in 2009, my own immune system attacks itself, including my thyroid. This causes LOTS of chaos in my body. I have to be careful with what I eat because that can set off symptoms. However, there are supplements that help “calm down” the immune system so it isn’t attacking itself. I’m gonna order the other supplements that I should have gotten a while ago to go along with the one that I usually take. I came home today and took the supplement that I had been neglecting to take…… and yes, I could feel a difference. I took more this evening and YES, I felt even more difference. My body relied on those to keep my immune system from going crazy. I’m gonna focus BACK ON what I should be focusing on – getting my immune system to calm the F down!!!

Anyway! Brad and I actually went back to the gym tonight for the first time since last Monday. WOOOHOOO. I also have to still be careful with exercise as well. STATS >>>

We didn’t do *as* much tonight, but it was a nice start up again. We split a gluten free bar afterwards then headed out since I wanted to go by WHOLE FOODS! Wanted to buy a few things, since I’m gonna try out a few things for my food plan and see if that helps me overall. I got coconut yogurt, KOMBUCHA<3, rice protein powder, almond butter w/flaxseed, and a few other things. Wal-Mart was the last stop before coming back home and here I am! I actually feel pretty good right now, kindof dazed actually! It’s way better than how I have felt for the last few weeks. Gah, I have to be careful with my body. I feel so relieved and am gonna get this sorted to where I can calm my immune system, feel awesome again, and get fit like I PLAN TO.

Stay positive and have an awesome night!!! <333
