With the start of a new month, it’s time to join Coco and Deb and catch up over some coffee. As always I’ve got plenty to tell you and I wanna hear all about you and yours as well. If we were having coffee I’d offer you a libation in one of my newest mugs, acquired on my trek to Berlin.
Yes, my carry-on bag was a little heavy toting these babies home.
If we were having coffee I’d tell you that I’m excited to be manning (womaning?) the blogger press box at mile 13 of the Chicago Marathon on Sunday. It’s become a tradition and I swear cheering there might be even more fun than running the race! Find me on the runners’ right with Mr. Happy on a stick and give me a wave!
If we were having coffee I’d tell you our basement, that flooded back in June, is finally under renovation. I’ve had workmen here for weeks doing drywall, painting and installing flooring. I’m excited to see the finished product and to have use of the almighty pain cave once again. I might be even more excited to not have workmen in the house every damn day.
If we were having coffee I’d tell you for the first time in 12 years, this girl has been able to DECREASE her thyroid meds, and her methylation rate, which had been abyssmal despite taking some very pricey meds, is now optimal. What the heck happened? I’m not entirely sure but I can tell you I kicked the pricey methylation meds that weren’t working to the curb (stayed on my thyroid meds, of course) and starting taking Thyroid Energy and Methyl Folate from Now Foods. Thyroid energy is a blend of Iodine, Folate, Zinc and Selenium that I figured wouldn’t hurt. Never did I think these two supplements would have the impact they did. My Dr. is pretty delighted too!
If we were having coffee I’d whip out my latest collection of race bling from the RocknRoll Summer Strides Virtual Run Series. The one on the far right even lights up. Did you happen to see my Instagram story that showed it twinkling?
That’s enough from me. What would you tell me over coffee? Are you racing this weekend? Spectating? Fave bling? Did you enter my giveaway?
That’s quite the collection of bling – RnR never disappoints!
That’s great that you’re able to eliminate a med – always a good feeling.
Have fun spectating Chicago!
I love those medals! I need to show them off-when I get back.
I’m so glad you’re methylating again!
ooh you racked up some nice bling and some great coffee mugs. I bet being in the booth for the race is so much fun. Enjoy!
Loving the medals 🙂 you’ve amassed quite the collection!! Hope you have a great weekend.
Ah! Flooding is never fun–best of luck to you on the renovation and I hope it finishes up soon! Awesome medals, and those mugs are so cute! :]
Excellent!!!! Glad you’re feeling so good & kicking some of those meds to the curb 😉
Girl, you hit the jackpot on coffee mugs and race bling! #chaching
Glad your pain cave is finally getting it’s overhaul and you’ll be back to torturing yourself in no time! 🙂
Wow, great news on the methylation drugs. When we did our kitchen my husband was done with the workers before they were done – he decided to do some finishing touches by himself so he could have his house back!
That’s really awesome about getting off the pricey meds!
Workmen are both the best and the worst. We’ve really only ever done one major project but it kind of soured me on getting work done on the house again. The results are always worth it, though!
I love all the RnR bling! Congrats on cutting back on thyroid meds! That is really awesome!
You look so happy with all your medals!
You know I will always take hormone and thyroid tips.
I just started DIM – which is supposed to help with my estrogen conversion as it is all whacked up right now.
Your bling is so fun! The mugs too! Nice collections to have! How did you get to be a blogger at mile 13- that is a super fun idea!
im so happy to hear that those supplements are working out for you!!!! love your collection.
I only have 1 starbucks location mug (Costa Rica). I guess that means I need to travel more. 🙂 Cheering for races can be a lot of fun. We cheered at Twin Cities Marathon several years ago because the course was just a few blocks from our apartment. Maybe if Rock ‘n Roll Vegas isn’t too cold, I’ll convince my hubs to come out and cheer with me in Nov.
