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!

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
