Hi Ashley! Bummer on the thyroid. I take meds for mine. Helps a ton since thyroid issues can also lead to depression. Take care of yourself!
I drink tea and coffee. I’m down to one cup of coffee, but I’ll drink a couple cups of tea too. My understanding was that if it is caffeinated tea you can’t include it in your liquid count. So I still have to guzzle over 100 ounces of water on top of that.
That is awesome that you have a partner in healthy living!! It will make life so much easier. I had to sit in McDonalds tonight watching my husband eat a Big Mac, fries and pop. Tempting, but I was happy to go home and eat my apple and almonds. And not having that continuous food guilt feeling felt great!!! I guess I was used to feeling bad about myself over making poor food choices. Now I can feel great about making healthy choices!!!
Huge welcome to you! 🙂
