iheart faces & the daily life of us

iheartfaces photo challenge (shadows)
Can i just express how much i enjoy my life! I am so truly blessed in so many ways. I have such a supportive Husband who is such an amazing daddy. I seriously couldnt ask more of him. I am so privileged to only have to work 2 days a week and be home with my baby girl. I love babysitting my niece and little neighbor girl and soon to be babysitting my baby princess Hopelynn (my wifey's new baby). I get the best of both worlds, being home with my daughter, and feeling productive by helping my friends and family out.





Now for some annoying news. Got the results back on getting my thyroid checked again.. apparently my levels are normal. GRRRR.... then why have i not lost weight in 3 weeks of working out and watching what i eat? and this last week i started INSANITY (working out INTENSELY, dripping sweat, for 40 min, 6 days a week) and only ate like 1,000-1,500 cals a day. Only had fast food once (panda express). Everyone has got to have a cheat day :). i drink SOOO much water, poop regularly <--haha sorry i had to say it. I eat 3 square meals, lots of fruits, veggies, etc. This is so frustrating :(

i think i might go see a endocrinologist if i dont loose any weight this next week.

Anyway... enough venting :)

Totally want to try out that insanity video!! Where did you order it off of and how much was it, if you dont mind me asking. When I was watching biggest loser a couple weeks ago they were saying something about the more intense workout you do, you need to eat a few more calories. If you eat the same calories and do a more intense workout, you just maintain your weight. Almost like when you workout so hard you burn burn burn, but your body needs to hold onto some of that nutrients, etc so it doesn't let you body burn it off? Don't quote me on that, but i swear they said something to that point. I'm not sure. Maybe research something about calorie intake vs. more intense workouts.
P.S. You are doing awesome staying so motivated doing this! You are amazing! Way to go!

I got off ksl for $40. Factory packaged, brand new. (The sell on tv for like 3 paymenbts of 40 bucks) so its a really good deal. He lives in provo. He also sells p90x and turbofire and stuff. I didn't like p90x cuz it was long and boring. I want to get turbofire next. But thanks girl :)

@Dina, thanks yo! Haha I know I'm a little out of control sometimes :)

I completely understand what you mean about the thyroid. Hypothyroidism runs in my family, and I have several of the symptoms. The problem with doctors is that the range for "normal" in which they compare your lab results to is so large, they don't take in to consideration what YOUR normal is. You may be in the "normal" range, but that isn't where YOUR body needs to be. Definitely go see another doctor.
