Hi W'n'C! How are you going?

I just read the last couple of pages. I was diagnosed adrenally fatigued by my doc when I got my hypothyroid diagnosis. It's quite common for the adrenals to get burned out by making up for a shortfall in thyroid function. Unfortunately it seems from the research that I'm doing, that eating low carb causes your thyroid function to suffer and therefore your adrenals pump out adrenaline to keep you going and then they crap themselves eventually and you end up with adrenal fatigue.
I really have fallen out of love with low carb (and by low I mean anything under 150g a day) lately but I know that MDA is probably not the place to talk about it so I'll shut up now.

Congrats on finishing your ESL AQ!

Aaarrrggggghhhhh!!

Sometimes living in a small town SUCKS!!!
Like when you REALLY want a Lindt Dark Chocolate bar and EVERY store in town (and the next town) ONLY has milk chocolate!!!!!!!

Suse!!! Nice to hear from you!! How's it going??

Good luck with that! I'm still waiting for my psychic skills to kick in.

I can hope, can't I???

How are you feeling now? How did you"fix" it?

I don't think I'm "low carb" (by MDA standards) I can't remember the last time I was in ketosis.
I simply like sweet potatoes and carrots and chocolate and... too much.
Of course I haven't tracked anything for months. Maybe I should, just to see where I am...

Congrats on finishing your ESL AQ!

Thanks.
It feels great to be finished!

Thursday

S2C=485 + Sabine's 10 = 495
I should rename the squat goal, 'cause I'm eating chocolate...

Use Your Brain, Move & Lift, Avoid Poisons & Stupid Mistakes
Lets see, after I ran, I did some much neglected house work.
Always fun. NOT.
After supper, we took the Butterflies over to the farm and they ran around exploring.
They both came back when I called! (That doesn't always happen)

Friday

S2C=485 + Sabine's 10 = 495

Use Your Brain, Move & Lift, Avoid Poisons & Stupid Mistakes
My Farmer spent the day driving this 235 km at 17 mph!

He was helping my uncle, who is moving AND dealing with cancer treatments.

I went into London with my Daughter, sister and niece.
We spent the afternoon shopping and then after supper (BBQ chicken, veggies and wine) we went to a OHL (Jr hockey) game.
My niece skated at the JLC after the 1st period of the OHL playoff game.
We stayed for the game. I had a Palm Bay cooler and a couple handfuls of popcorn.
The Knights won. In overtime. We know one of the players. I used to coach him in soccer.
It was fun, I got home at 11pm with a headache and popcorn in my pants.

I am running a 5 K tomorrow morning.
I'm not really ready for it.

But I made a kick-ass playlist to listen to while I attempt it

[winencandy]

It's foggy. It's raining. It's 11C.
Perfect.

Good luck today. I'll be thinking of you(as I have my feet up on the sofa, knitting, and watching an old Lucille Ball musical). You can do it. Go, Winencandy, go!

39:25

Last year was 39:01.
I did NOT train nearly as much this time.
I did not think I'd come CLOSE to that time.
If I'd had a watch, I might have pushed it a bit more at the end and maybe beaten my record.
I thought I was going to come in around 45 min.
I'm pleased.

I'm also cold and wet. It rained the entire race.
