Tracking my progress in fighting the symptoms of auto-immune disease, specifically Hashimoto's Thyroiditis(Hypothyroidism) and Fibromyalgia, through physical activity and nutrition. I hope to be successful in helping others learn how to manage their symptoms as I experiment with different forms of physical activity and nutrition.

Or now...
I was hoping to start to get myself on track but with a combination of the holidays and getting much more sick I found myself regressing... significantly. I'm up to 253 lbs now which puts my BMI at 37.4, this is beyond what I consider acceptable. That qualifies me under "severe obesity"... which is just crazy. My daily pain levels are consistently about 6.5 out of 10 with 8/10 being the worst days and I can not even rate the fatigue. I've surpassed being frustrated, and am tired of making any excuses. So, I have do what I can to find the answers and it's very important that I figure out what is wrong with me whether it be through conventional doctors or through holistic medicine. I have a Rheumatology appointment this week to do a follow up on some test and I also have a Urology appointment to determine what is going on with my kidneys. Hopefully we will find something out. As for my diet, I am trying to reduce a lot of carbs especially sugar (as I said previously) and up my intake of vegetables and lean protein. As for now I am going to stick to cardio and work in some weights as I am able too. I will post back again soon after some further research and results from medical appointments.
