My Motivator



If you use Pinterest, you've probably seen some of these floating around on the health and fitness boards of the people you're following.  This one was a HUGE motivator for me, because at the young age of 19, I felt way too old.
There's a story that goes behind it and I'll try and keep it short...
I have never been a healthy eater, and when I was 16 I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism.  At 16 I had an under-active thyroid.  Not good.  In runs in the family, so it wasn't that surprising but still...
This past January I set a goal for myself: to finally get off this medication.  I'm not completely sure it will work, but I am going to damn well try!  I don't want to spend the rest of my life on medication if I don't have to.  If eating better and working out more can help reduce my dosage or get rid of it all together I will be one happy girl!
If you have any tips or questions for me feel free to comment!  I'd love to hear back from anyone or help anyone I can!  I've learned a few tricks in the past three years that may benefit you!
Talk to you soon!
