Spoke with my doctor yesterday. She's encouraged by the results, and says that as long as I keep with the diet and exercise, I shouldn't worry much about my cholesterol.

It'll just be something we continue to monitor.

She's also increasing the dosage of my thyroid medication and switching me to the brand-name version. Because I trust her and thinks she's the cat's pajamas, I'm going with it. We're hoping the increase takes care of the whole exhaustion thing a bit better.

I would just like to be able to eat a piece of bread now and again without feeling that it's taking all of the will in the world to digest the sucker.

I'm excited to start taking the new dosage tomorrow, which, upon saying that, makes me officially an old lady.

Yesterday I worked out so hard and got so much exercise I'm surprised I'm not hobbling all over the place. I spent 40 minutes lifting at work (we have a private little gym in the building) and immediately after work hit a 45 minute cardio kickboxing class. Then there was all of the walking I did. I slept like a baby.

Today? Another 40 minutes of lifting here at work and the a three-mile run tonight. Probably at the gym because it's colder than all get out here and I'm not fond of being any more uncomfortable than necessary.

Tonight when I get home, it'll be one long evening of cooking - turkey meatloaf and BBQ turkey meatballs. I'm salivating at the thought.
