I got a couple things to touch on for you all......
I found out Thursday this week my mild hyperthyroid issue (diagnosed in August 2013) was not getting better while on the low dose meds to help it over the past 5 weeks. That said the endo specialist I am working with has increased my medication dose as he feels that will help for sure. The key is that I need to keep the next 4 weeks consistent in terms of exercise and diet to assure the med can take effect without any outside changes being to blame. That said I am not to do any extra aerobic kinds of exercise training then what I do now. I am not to do any more eating challenges either as those really big meals like that seem to make my hyperthyroid matter worse I am told. If I did not mention this before...... the case I have is rare but simple. I do not make too much thyroid hormone as in most typical cases, I simply convert too much inactive T4 to active T3 at my tissues which causes me to intake more oxygen and burn off more calories/body heat then I should be. The med I take reduces the conversion a bit. It has little to no side effects at my dosage which is nice of course. I am told its a gene disorder that is overactive in my tissues.
Very ticked off I cannot do any eating challenges for 4 weeks now as I had 1 lined up every Sunday for the next 3 weeks with some fellow eater friends of mine. My YouTube Channel fans will be so dissapointed!
Its not a total loss though as I am now going to adjust the focus to become a "cheat feat" vs an "eat feat" series. I still plan to do my Sunday Splurge Suppers every week as I have but rather then feature some big eating challenge it will be a simple cheat meal at a local San Diego restaurant. Rather than film the whole thing start to end it will just be a written review of where I am and what the place is about. The meal I get and why I picked it and then a quick review of how it was. I will have plenty of mouth watering pictures to go with it as well of course. I will then link/post to my Yelp.com page as well.
I also got news that I am now a partner/sponsored with the following company out of Carlsbad, CA. I use the product featured below which I love for immune system modulation and recovery! Is it a cure all? No not at all but it does help big time I find! I look forward to my growing partnership with these guys as they are on to something big with this!
OK.... so for the workouts now....
Had a little bit of a rough week in that I did not have 100% gusto in the gym my last 2 workouts compared to normal. Still good but just a little less then par is all.
