First off, thanks for all of the kind comments on the post yesterday. It’s just so frustrating to work so very hard and see no results.
But plateaus happen.
Plus this weekend, I’m taking measurements again, just to see if anything’s changing.
And yes, I know, muscle gains, etc. But this belly fat is most certainly not muscle.
And thanks to Chrissy’s prodding, I’ve made an appointment with an endocrinologist. I had a referral from my OBGYN, but hadn’t bothered to make an appointment. The referral was on my request, not something she necessarily thought I needed to do, so I had just put it off. As is my tendency.
I’m not expecting some miracle cure from the endocrinologist, but from what I’ve read, anxiety and panic disorders can be related to thyroid imbalances. That would just mean swapping one medication for another, but it would be nice to find the root cause of the problem.
Other than that, it’s just back to swimming and biking and hoping the change in the workout kickstarts the weight loss. Because it’s frustrating to eat well, work out and just keep gaining and losing the same 3 pounds over and over.
But I’ll just keep going. Because regardless of my weight, I’m healthier than if I were sitting on the couch.
If you want to talk thyroid disorders, message/email me. I didn’t think my visit to the endo would come up with anything, but it did, and although it was a little scary sounding, it’s made a huge difference.
