Got me bummin

[Shea125]

I really try not to whine about things, but this really has me bummed out recently. I'm one of those hypothyroid folks (who isn't these days, huh?), but it seems to be progressing faster than I expected. I'm already at 100mcg, but my latest TSH is still high, and symptoms (weight gain, lethargy, dry skin, low BP and HR, decreased gut motility, etc...) show no signs of letting up.
Lifts show little or no change over last 4-6 weeks. Runs are touch n go. Only thing not in decline is my biking.
Working my a** off and have nothing to show for it. Always motivating everyone around me but starting to lack my own motivation.
Anyone else suckin a dry well right now?
Anyone know of ways to snap out of it?

Everybody has times when their motivation is lacking and the last thing you want to do is go training. I had the same thing a couple of months ago. My advice is to listen to your body and don't be too hard on yourself. There are times of fast progress and slow progres. Have you tried making some changes to your workout regime? It may give you the little spark you need and you will see progress again.

Just keep pressing on and adjusting your meds. It can take months for a new dose to have an effect so just have lots of patience. Keep your diet in check, and get as much rest (naps are great!) as you can. You may do well to take a week off from exercising. Give your body a rest. This is needed at times for everyone. Not going up in lifts for awhile is a possible sign that a break is needed. You may also need to change up your routine or even your diet.

My hypo is stable, my hormones aren't. My body is toying with going into menopause so things have been a bit crazy. I do believe it's inhibiting my progress. But there's nothing I can really do about it other than just go through it. It'll pass eventually. It can be frustrating but I'm so much better off even if progress slows. If I find myself getting down I just keep reiterating the bright side of things. In spite of hypo or meno we're not sitting on the couch chowing down on chips and resigning ourselves to being fat and frumpy! We're eating well and getting really good exercise! Progress may not be what we want, but we're still making progress

Lol! I keep telling myself I'll take a break "next week". Don't most people talk about starting working out "next week". Fortunately for me, I'll be diving in Mexico next week, something of a forced vacation.
Been doing a 4-day vertical and horizontal push/pull split, mixing heavy and light. Planning on switching it up when I get back, just not sure to what. Perhaps a 4-5 days, single focus plan. ?

Ok, all that being said, what do I switch it up to? If I still want to make gains, what's the right move to make in terms of increasing/decreasing weight, sets, reps?
I appreciate the encouragement and help. Thanks.

You have a quite intense program. Introducing a rest day may actually be good for your progress.
