Dear Random Lump On My Neck ( this was written over a few days )

So this past week has been a roller coaster of sorts for us here in this household.  I went to the lady doctor for a yearly ( sorry TMI ) everything was normal but a random lump he found at the base of my neck.  You can only see the lump as I swallow or tilt my head backwards.  I exercise I have a pretty good diet and so finding MR RANDOM LUMP has thrown us for a loop.  Yes its in the general thyroid area but seeing as my obgyn is sending me to the ENT over the ENDOCRINOLOGIST leads me to believe this lump isn't my thyroid, with that being said I was told that I would be having more issues than not knowing the lump was there.  So this lump is painless, I feel a bit more tired than normal some days but not everyday I could attest this as well being to the dogs in our bed and the TV on and in general Im the lightest sleeper ever even when exhausted!  For the last week Ive kept o n my normal lifting schedule, though Im really focusing on only doing cardio for right now!  So onto the ENT Monday Morning at 930 AM.
ENT Partial Diagnosis
The ENT felt my neck and since I had no prior ultra sound to show, he promptly told me that was the next step and I was done.  He seems to think this is a Thyroid Nodule.  I have an Ultrasound set up for Tuesday at 4pm, and a Fine Needle Biopsy may be needed.  I however talked further to the nurse over the phone and she told me that a majority of the time because of the placement of the nodule and size this requires surgery but in some cases they leave it alone and monitor it!  So basically its a wait and see game!
How are they formed you ask?  I asked the same thing... medically speaking they have no idea why this happens, 90%of the time its a normal functioning thyroid. So until later this week this is my diagnosis.
When the OBGYN told me this I instantly was worried and consumed by this, worrying really gets you NOTHING.  Doesn't make you feel any better, but today I feel good and rested!  I will keep you all posted on the final diagnosis.

Women Supporting Other Women

I wonder what this world would look like if all women supported other women instead of bashing them constantly?  Lately this has been on my mind because I see it happen frequently and Im not gonna lie I can act like this and be just at judgmental sometimes myself so theres no sugar coating there.  Women are a very intriguing breed if you will call it that, theres so many different sides to a womans personality. What I want to know is are we programmed to be so vicious all the time?  Am I overly sensitive to the world where I notice this and Im like can we please stop with the constant cut downs ladies.  I can't take it anymore.  The fact is this, be friends with women who you can support because they have the same goals/ values and morals as you, IF they don't then don't support them but also don't be fake about it.  We can all learn to love people from a distant if we truly want the best for them, sometimes as human beings morals goal values ect don't add up and t

How You Feel About Yourself is an Inside Job, Make Yourself a Priority

Recently Ive noticed more and more how I feel about myself.  Im loving the progress in the gym, I love my businesses, I have a life that is truly wonderful ( yes I have bad days just like everyone else ) but in general Im extremely happy and if Im not I try and fix things or work on them until my end goal is reached.  Ive started to notice that the more I take care of myself the better I feel.  I have a weakness for clothes they are expensive but there is nothing like a great pair of jeans and a swipe of mascara that doesn’t make me a happy girl just something about it turns my day around always.  So how do you celebrate yourself?  Do you allow yourself that one sweet treat?  Pay yourself compliments?  Buy yourself flowers or clothes what ever your vice is remember to celebrate you because theres only one of you, take the time for yourself on a weekly basis regardless of how others feel about it silly or not if its important to you, you will make this a practice in your life.  It does

This Led Us to Our Invitro- Fertilization and Frozen Embryo Transfer

So it has taken my husband and I 5 years to get to this point in our fertility journey.  During these last 5 years Ive been told that Im Bi Polar ( nah i just have resting bitch face and have no time for bullshit sorry that imnot overly smiley it doesnt mean anything ), Im Depressed ( nope just sarcastic by nature ), Im Anxious ( i really am anxious though ) and multiple other things from Doctors in the area and they even tried to give me all the PILLS in the WORLD.  As we all may or may not know my husband loves to research things!  So the first thing to research was the GOITER in my neck basically my thyroid blew up and the reason it blew up was because to be honest I wasn’t taking care of myself I was at the gym every morning at 5 am I worked out for 2 hours.  Though I know how to eat ( im a nutrionist ) I was told crazy things by PERSONAL TRAINERS  ( they don’t have degrees y’all ) stop eating carbs ect.  However I never stopped eating the things I wanted, but all that working out
