What is on my mind:
Finally had a good dinner tonight!  We made Sloppy Joe’s!  Homemade.  They were delicious.  I just piled the meat on to an open piece of homemade bread.  We got the meat special from a butcher so I knew it was safe to eat.  It really made me feel mentally better that I got a meal!

How my body feels:
Not bad at all, and I’m just so surprised.  I didn’t expect to feel good at all!  But it’s a pleasant surprise.

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Gym and relaxed.  Both very important.

Today I felt:  Great

What is on my mind:
Again, the diet sucks.  We just need to sit down and study the cookbook for ideas.  I went to work for the first time off my meds.  It went fine, but it wasn’t too busy.  My memory is good!

How my body feels:
Sore from going to the gym!  But in general, I feel absolutely fine.  It’s almost as if I’m taking my meds in the middle of the night.  I don’t feel any different!

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Went to the gym again - it feels very rewarding to go every day. I tried making myself a nice dinner with peas and potatoes, but my chicken was sub par.

Today I felt: Great.

What is on my mind:
This diet sucks ass.  I’m not good enough in the kitchen to make anything good - neither are my parents.  I’m just snacking on things!  No real meals yet.

How my body feels:
I went to the gym today, and I don’t know if its cause I’m off my meds, but I got really tired quickly.  But it was good to work out - I’m worried about soreness for tomorrow.

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
I relaxed!  I sat out in the sun and listened to music.  Tonight, Bill and I watched X-Files, then we met Jeanne at Destare for a drink.  Fun times!

Today I felt:  Great.  Weight:  120 lb

What is on my mind:
I’m finally done with school and I feel great!  I finally get to focus on myself: relaxing and doing what I really want to do.

How my body feels:
Very good!  I did five laps at Coolidge today.  Not tired at all.  I definitely am kinda spacey while driving - my mind wanders and I think about other stuff.  But so far, I don’t feel hypo!

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
I went to Ramano’s Market to get some fresh meat.  There was a woman there who had her thyroid out, so she knew ALL about my diet.  Very cool.

Today I felt: Great.  Weight:  120lb

What is on my mind:
The Low Iodine Diet sucks.  I ate way too many carbs today.  I need more veggies and fruits, and I should have egg whites for breakfast instead of toast.

How my body feels:
Great!  I feel no real difference.  I may be a bit spacey while driving - but that might be normal.

What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
I’m finishing up school work - feel I aced my test this morning.  Two papers due tomorrow, and part 2 of today’s test is tomorrow night.

Today I felt:  Great.  Weight:  120lb
