Update

Tonight's weigh in was 242.0.  Not exactly moving in the right direction, huh?  I know why this weigh in was up from last week's (241.25).  The weekend was spent eating foods that I wouldn't normally be eating.  There was a wedding and the rehearsal dinner.  Instead of controlling myself, I allowed me to eat some cake.  And other junk I shouldn't have.  Not only did it show on the scale, but I also felt crappy after eating it.  My stomach hurt and I felt like I was going to get sick. 

After going through a horrible experience with my doctor this past Tuesday, I think I am finally going to get to see an endrocrinologist about my thyroid.  Even though my labs come back in normal ranges, I am still experiencing many symptoms, such as fatigue, inability to lose weight, etc.  The fatigue is what is really getting to me more than anything.  I really do not have the energy to do anything.  All I think about all the time is sleeping.  Once I wake up, my first thought is to calculate how much longer until I can lay down again.  It is difficult to get through a day without taking a nap of at least 1-2 hours.  I don't think that's normal!  Hopefully I can get some answers from an endo and life will improve.  If not, then I'll know that it's just me and I'll suck it up and deal with it.

In exciting news, today is my 19th wedding anniversary and I set a new PR on my back squat - 155 lbs!  Previous personal record was 135 lbs, so that's a 20 lb increase!  I think I could have even gone higher, too.  I came close to hitting 225 lbs on my deadlift, but my muscles were just too worn out from lifting the weight plates for the classes.  I don't mind, that's my job, after all.  Maybe next time!
