I haven't felt 100% today. I forget that I need to watch my thyroid. I took a thyroid supplement yesterday and today. I will continue till I feel better. The capsules are Thyroplex. Just a general thyroid supplement. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with hashimotos. I believe I was stressed and run down, contracted whooping cough and since I had a genetic predisposition ( my auntie had thyroid problems) I got Hashimotos. I took thyroid extract while I was still working. Last year I retired and went off the thyroid medication. Less stress makes it easier for the thyroid to work properly.
I have tried to keep to the kJ count but I had extra chocolate and coffee. I am still less than 7000kJ for the day.
I had porridge for breakfast, curried eggs and rice for lunch and tinned tomatoes and chickpeas for dinner. Snacks included chocolate, coffee, chips, 2 pears and orange juice. I may still have a banana later. I am tired but I need to work out tomorrows menu. I am determined not to get off track.
After years of losing weight and putting it on with interest I have found a plan that is easy and I will be able to stick with it on a day to day basis forever. I know it will work because it is my plan designed by me. This is part one - losing the weight. Part two will be maintaining. Being kind to myself and counting the kJ is the basis of the plan. My first goal is 70kg. The final goal is 60kg
