I am 2-years away from being able to collect full SS, but I have no pension, etc. and can't live on it. I will probally have to wor****il I "swim with the worms", so to speak!!

I did 45 minutes on my recumbent bike, reading 98 pages of a new book, and going for 10.3 miles! I am also exhausted, so I am taking Friday and Monday off (for my birthday weekend!)

10 pounds just this week -- something's not right. I don't know if you've seen an endrocrinologist before, but when I was diagnosed by my internist with hpothyroid, I researched it and discovered that the American College of Endocrinologists had changed the standards for a healthy TSH level and my internist didn't know that. they've determined that people with hypothyroidism lose best with levels between 1 and 2, whereas the previous standard was in the region of 4 or 4.4 (I don't remember.) It's just not fair for you to have to go through this, but I guess we know that life's not fair. I'm sure that when you become a physician you'll have a lot of empathy for your patients. Take care of yourself and please accept this official hug. Shari

Nope, sorry, it can't be your year -- it's going to be mine! Or maybe we could share. Keep your check list in site and more your body and sign up for the March Madness Exercise Challenge tomorrow.

So sorry to hear about your job loss. I know what a scary thing that is as I have experienced it several times in my life. That's the one good thing about being in Jewish Education -- vastly underpaid, but more jobs than you can shake a stick at (that is, of course, if you want to work part time.) Keep your chin up.
