I've started getting up a 4am to take my thyroid medicine, but then I go back to bed and get up for good at 6am. Since we are self-employed and own our own business, we have a home/office and home gym. My husband is a concrete contractor, so the crew comes in at 6am. We hit the floor running. He gets the crew set up and going. I was drinking a protein shake before my workouts and realized that the whey = calcium which prevents thyroid medicine for absorbing. Some say that you need 2 hours before you can eat foods with calcium or take calcium supps. Now I get up a 4am for my medicine and 6am... hit the gym around 7am. The shower and start my day. I love my commute to work... I just walk downstairs. It's hard to turn work off when you work from home.
I has oral surgery a week ago, so I'm not able to lift right now. I had last week off. This week I'm stretching and doing 15 minutes of cardio. I go back next week to have the stitches removed. Hopefully I'll be able to go back to lifting. 2021 has been a struggle. I've ended up having three surgeries. From the first of the year until June, I was unable to workout. I've gain weight that I'm so ready to lose. I have cleaned up my diet and eating healthy again. I don't like to call it diet. It's a lifestyle for me especially with thyroid issues.
