Um…ANOTHER hike, ANOTHER non-crashing

May 28th, 2010 by Busy Mommy

Wow this is truly just unbelievable.  Third hike (around 1 hour each time) in one week, and I still feel great.  I haven’t experienced this is in years.  I almost feel like I don’t deserve to go exercise and feel good after- it’s just so good and wonderful, how can I be allowed to feel so great?  My Thyroid dose is up to 25 mcg now.  I’ve only been on thyroid medication for 9 days now.  The results have been a complete change in my ability and feeling basically overnight.  At first I was thinking maybe it’s the placebo effect- but believe me, I have tried to “think” my way out of feeling terrible after exercising in the past many a time, only to have the terrible and dreaded exhaustion and depression descend on me anyway- there was no placebo effect possible when it came to exercise and feeling crappy afterwards.  So I know this is for real.

Highlights from today’s hike:

By the way- if you haven’t noticed it yet, I’m telling you now- Nolan definitely knows the word smile when I hold up my camera.  He obliges almost every time.

My little guy got sleepy and had his nap on the trail….

Another Hike…another Non-Crashing

It’s happened again- went for a hike Wednesday evening for 1 hour and 15 minutes….still feel great on Friday.  We had so much fun- it was refreshing, quiet, cool, and isolated where the three of us went and just so peaceful and invigorating.  Nolan just loves it…he babble away happily much of the time, and the rest of it he was content to just watch quietly from his perch.

And we came across a couple a cute salamanders…this one musta been cold cuz he wasn’t moving very fast….
