Thankful Thursday...

Did you count them? Seven, right? Good! I had to check a few times just to make sure I had picked the right number.

This is significant for me, something I can be thankful for on this Thursday:

I've Lost SEVEN POUNDS!!!

I made that as large as the font size would go for this post. Just imagine: I'm yelling, jumping up and down, running around, throwing a party...I'm that excited!

What's makes this even more amazing is that I still lost weight even after "cold turkey-ing" (my new phrase for the week) my old thyroid medicine. After receiving terrible results from my blood test, I just knew my doctor was going to up the dosage even more.

That medicine was seriously making me crazy....and I'm not joking. 

Seriously, I flat out refused to take the prescribed medicine if I wasn't put on a different kind...non-synthetic. My doctor, bless his heart, looked very thoughtful as he studied my lab results.

Well, we could try you on a more natural form of treatment.

I almost hugged him. He probably would have had a heart attack.

Instead I whipped out a print out list of thyroid medications covered by my insurance along with the prices and together we "chose" a medicine I was hoping and praying he would switch me to.

So. Happy. *sigh*

And then this morning's weigh-in was added coconut to my Almond Joy Fat Bomb.

Thirteen more and counting!

P.S. There are others celebrating happy thoughts with thankfulness. For more inspiration head on over to LOL In Ministry!

Simply "S"elebrating,
