Changed to NDT (Nature-throid) and doing better

I got my new doctor to switch me to NDT (from Synthroid generic) about 6-8 weeks ago.  I am taking 97.5 mg of Nature-throid twice a day.  I was still a bit foggy and forgetful, and with my Reverse T3 problem, I added a 25 mcg dose of T3 twice a day.  I am feeling better and have lost a few more pounds (I see more cheekbones and less moonface) even after finishing up Insanity a couple weeks ago.

I'll get my labs drawn this week sometime and see if the dose is OK or I need to tweak it a bit.

Enchantments

I just opened up a Kitsy Lane boutique (jewelry and more)! It's called Enchantments and includes oodles of jewelry and pretty scarves.

Since I love great coupons, I created one for anybody wanting to shop for some bling.  Right now, you can get $20 off a $45 purchase using coupon code TXHJL7GBKR.

Government Makes Money off Vaccines

I was looking at this list on the NIH government page (http://www.ott.nih.gov/about_nih/FY2012top20.aspx) and saw the inventors listed. The inventors can make a ton of money off inventing things, correct? NCI (http://www.cancer.gov/), NIAID (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/), NIDCD (http://www.nidcd.nih.gov), NIEHS (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/), are shown as some of the inventors. These are ALL government web sites shown under "inventors". So, the government makes a ton of money off pushing medications and vaccines that aren't proven to not cause harm? Really, how many times has a drug or vaccine been given to the public, only to find out later it causes harm or death? 

So, it's not just that Big Pharma is in bed with the government with money changing hands, etc. I would look at this more as government IS A PART OF Big Pharma.

Can you trust drugs where the person requiring their use is making money off of them?

Hip Hop Abs by Beachbody

I started Hip Hop Abs last week.  I ordered it from my Beachbody Coach at Live Core Fitness.  It's on sale right now!! More than half off.  Beachbody is the same company who offers P90X and Insanity.

It is actually fun.  I used to love to dance so I am trying to get my groove back while trying to get rid of baby belly from four kids.

I am starting Insanity after I do Hip Hop Abs for awhile. I have to work up to Insanity!
