Ugh!!! Help, I have an underactive thyroid...
It's not a pretty picture for someone like me. It's bad enough that I have to take a cocktail of meds just for epilepsy, but I found out a couple of days ago that I have an underactive thyroid, or the technical term, hypothyroidism.

Kickboxing and calorie burn
Does anyone know how many calories 15 minutes of kickboxing would burn? I haven't done that on the MFP plan and don't know how much I'd burn, even though I've done the exercise before. I need to stay within my calorie limit for the day, and I don't want to overdo it. Any ideas?

exercise and epilepsy
I need to shake up my exercise routine. My problem is, I can't go to yoga classes or other exercise classes where I'd be required to hang my head upside down because I have epilepsy, and the blood rushing to my head could trigger a seizure. However, I only have two at-home exercise routines, one that mixes strength…

Early May and Birthday Cake.
Okay. I posted something similar to this among my friends in my blog, so here goes. I have a seizure condition, so I still live with my parents. Keep that in mind. In early May, my dad has a birthday, which means cake in the house, and THAT could blow my diet!!! I love cake, but I don't want to go overboard, so do I just…
