I apolgoize for the lack of photos in this post. I was fvcking hungry by dinner (1 egg and a slim fast between 9am and 7pm) I could not stop for one second to take a picture. I had to dig in and pratcially swallow the whole thing because my stomach was pretty sure I was starving to death.

I slept in today and missed my class at the gym. Argh. I will be there tomorrow morning though.

I had another doctor appointment today (for something minor, unrelated to thyroid issues) - and asked her opinion on calorie intake, weight loss, ect. She suggested 1,300 calories - with a bit more on workout days. I told her I had been shooting for 1,200 and she said that was fine - but to open up my range to between 1,200 and 1,300 each day to allow myself a bit more flexibility. Today I was at 1,150 - so I'll plan accoringly for tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning will also be the first weigh-in in a while. I'm not holding my breath for good news - I'll give it another week before I expect any changes.

I've got a fun weekend planned with friends and family. I can only hope you have as much friendship, love, and fun planned into your next few days!



*dinner was one of my favorite ways to prepare salmon. A little bit of chili powder and a tiny bit of cinnamon sprinked on skin and flesh side. Then sauteed in (very little) sesame oil. Just 3-4 minute per side - and delish.
