Hypothyroid levels are worse. Everything else is better.

I went to my doctor yesterday, finally. I have been due back for months but haven’t wanted to go. I have been feeling really bad lately. I think I’m failing half my classes, and I have been eating like crap, gained wight, and I have been so tired and lazy lately. I hurt my back really bad in December. Then I had a flair up of the injury about a month ago, so I haven’t been able to exercise. I’m going on a study abroad trip in less than a month to England, Scotland, France and Spain (I’m super excited about that actually) but I’m terrified that I will have another “flair up” while I’m there and have to be flat on my back for the whole trip.

So anyway. I went to the doctor. I did all kinds of blood test. I had a diabetes check, my lipid panel done and another thyroid check. I have terrific blood sugar levels, my cholesterol levels are all going in the right direction and I have improved a few points in all areas, and my thyroid dosage needs to be increased. I’m going from 100 micrograms of thyroxin to 125.

I am actually really surprised by all the good news. I was sure it was all going to be super terrible news. I think that I’m most excited to hear that the thyroxin needs to be increased though. I have been taking my pill religiously so I thought I was just having issues. Now I know that my sweet tooth, trouble thinking, depression, and tiredness might all be from a low thyroid again. I really hope it is because I have seriously been having a super hard time.

Two calendars for March: the basic calendar and the beginner’s calendar!

The directions are simple: find the current date on the calendar, see what workout(s) it asks for, and pick one from each section listed for that date. For example, if today it says “Arms” and “General,” I’d find an arm workout and a general workout to do today.

If you’d like to write about your experiences during the month or see how others are doing, please use the tag “BoP: March”. By all using this tag, we can see what others are doing during the month and send others encouragement along the way. Let’s all support each other on our journeys! (If you’re not on Tumblr but still use these calendars, feel free to update us on the Back On Pointe Facebook Page!)

During the month, remember that you should take as many rest days as you need, modify any workouts that you cannot do, stay hydrated, get more low-intensity cardio, and eat well.

Have fun!

p.s. Any of the calendars can be modified. If you are training for a half-marathon, feel free to count that as your cardio on cardio days. If you’re sore in the arms from helping a friend move, substitute a butt workout instead. It’s all about you!
