Day 356 + 2 steps

Had to be part of a photo shoot on Monday. It was not THAT bad. When the (fat) photographer asked me at one point to pull in my belly I could even see the hilarity in the situation

What did he think I was doing there whilst hardly breathing? Pulling in ones belly is obviously top priority! Duuuh

Anyway today begins another journey of 1001 steps which should take me about 356 days.

I have been diagnosed with Grave's Disease which is an autimune disease and I am trying to avoid having my thyroid removed. I like my thyroid, we have been together for a long time. It is not her fault that the disease creates anti-bodies which attack her. Being a sensitive kind of soul, her and her mate the pituitary gland go bananas and the results are not pleasant.

I am, with medication, nearly stable again but not fit to run a marathon quite yet - actually had to cancel our 100km challenge in under 30 hours. That was pretty difficult!

Now I am adding some herbal remedies, strength exercises, 10.000 steps a day and a low carb diet.
