I'm normal!! and Sex challenge Update

Well, I may not be normal, but my thyroid levels finally are!  A YEAR!  A YEAR, but my levels are in normal range.  I think I should throw a party!  I still have to take medicine every day and I can imagine that it may have to be tweaked from time to time, but it is definitely a goal that I have wanted to meet for a very long time.  I have also lost 10 pounds in the last two months!  I think I should have another party...with a vegetable tray!!  I am now at my pre-babies weight...which mind you is still overweight, but for the past year that ten pounds that seemed to hop right onto my belly area overnight had not gone anywhere...not even budged, no matter what I did.  I was starting to think that I was going to have to live with that ten pound lump in my front forever.

Now, I still have a long way to go and have a few issues with the medication, such as I apparently cannot go without breakfast and need to include protein at every meal or I have crazy adrenaline rush feelings that after passing make me really tired...not a fun feeling, but will be trying the protein push to see if it helps.  Levi had some thoughts as to how I could get more protein at breakfast...yea, sure babe.  I am also still not regular and will need to go see THAT doctor again, ugh!  But I am trying not to focus on all that and just be happy that I can finally say that I am my thyroid is normal!

UPDATE:

Here is an update on our 30 day challenge...we are halfway done and I have been bummed that we have missed more times, but maybe there is something to learn in that...still thinking on it cause it only makes me irritated at this point...I am a fill in all the blanks sort of person.


Day 10: nada...although alternatives were enthusiastically offered (I have Ovarian Cysts which can be very painful and had a particularly bad month that messed things up for a few days-he knew I wasn't feeling well and praised my offering of alternatives)

 
Day 11: nada again (same reason)

 
Day 12: sleepy morning sex (We had some awesome morning time...that slow, quiet dreamlike kind)


Day 13: cockblocked (The kids had their sexdar on today...We started to get frisky in the morning until the three year old knocked on the door, when Levi got home he began a seduction in our closet until the middle kiddo needed something, at bedtime our oldest needed "talk" time with Daddy as he is having a couple of issues at school...EVERY TIME we started something a kid was in the way...we gave up...sometimes they are just little Libido Suckers)


Day 14: morning art on a canvas (I don't know why, but this one makes me blush...I'll let you figure it out)

 
Day 15: kinky fun (Levi is not very kinky, but sometimes he surprises me...ohh la la!)

  2. Congratulations on your thyroid levels and weight loss Bea! So very happy for you. Sorry for all your interruptions...just remember that the challenge should just be a way to make time to enjoy one another...not another task in the day to get done. ;)

    Sending lots of positive energy your way.

    Blessings...

  3. Sounds like things really are looking up! So happy the thyroid is behaving! As for the rest I may come back and read this every time I miss our kids - but I'm seeing that the empty nest isn't really so bad.

  5. Excellent Bea!

    We are doing more protein in the morning. It has taken some time to get used to but egg whites and turkey bacon are good.

  6. Nice work. I've always thought the point of these challenges is to get your brain on having sex, making it a priority so it doesn't get lost in everyday life, so don't stress missing days.

    But it sounds like you guys are doing a good job, sounds like a lot of fun too.
