The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

I Guess It’s June Already?

june 2023 calendar

I honestly can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. I can’t believe it’s June already. It seems that the older we get the faster time seems to pass.

I had a pretty uneventful month of May. Although there were some ups and downs. But I think that is to be expected no matter what month it is. I was happy to get back to my usual almost no oil diet. I usually have oil like maybe once a week or every two weeks. And I’m feeling really good with that so far.

As for June, I don’t have too many plans yet. But I know that this month I really want to concentrate on my physical and mental health more.

I got some medical tests done and there were a few issues last year when I did the same test. The main thing was that my thyroid (TSH) levels were quite high. That’s actually what prompted me to change my diet and lifestyle. And after about five months of making changes and living healthier, I am happy to report that the TSH levels are back to normal now. I wanted to avoid medication if I could since I always have side effects (I’m really sensitive to most medications) and I’m happy I could do that. With a lot of help from my mum.

How was your May? What have you been doing? Any plans for June? Anything exciting going on in your life? Let me know in the comments below because I would love to hear from you. Or simply stop by and say hi!

    I can’t believe we’re in June either, feels like just yesterday I was complaining about the 90 days of January. June month is going to be a packed month for me as I have two sets of work training to complete.

    I am happy you are getting better with your TSH levels, it’s great news. I started taking Zinc as my mother prompted me for weeks now. It helps I should say. We are experiencing hot weather here in Oregon and it makes me feel content, Rose Festival is in full swing and soon I am starting to teach art in the park sessions. I have some great plans for the month of June, and i will let you know a bit later, not to jinx it, ha-ha

      Zinc is really good. My sister (she’s a nutritionist) also recommend I start taking zinc supplements too to help with my insomnia.
      That sounds lovely. Hope everything goes great with teaching art at the park. And I’m excited to know what you have in store for June.

    I would like to learn more how your controlled thyroid levels Naturally?

    You shared a guest blog about weight lifting recently. Would you consider lifting weights in near future? 🙂

    Good thing is you get tested regularly. Something most people should understand.
    Getting tested tells more about our internal body. Like you learned about your TSH levels & took the wise step.

    You take care buddy 🍏 🥒🫘

    Also, before you share your next post and I feel like “hey I was just thinking about it” (because it has happened with me 3-4 times).
    I’m waiting for a post from you about SEO or anything that can teach us some WP. Your wisdom is vital 🌷

      I basically cut out oil, eat vegan and my sister is a nutritionist so she helped me create the perfect diet plan for me.

      Lol never, I’m not someone who would be interested in weightlifting 😅

      Yeah, I like to get tested every year to make sure everything is okay. Better to catch things early.

      I want to do an advice post soon but they take a while to research so it takes a while to create 😑

        Last time I was waiting for part 2nd of ostrich farm and you posted the next day. I almost forgot to mention that the day prior to that 😆

        She’s a nutritionist? Ohhh I’m interested. Why you never mentioned that before? 🤩

        Getting tested annually is a good practice.

    Veganism helps with thyroid problems????? Shooot.👀👀👀 Does it help with other things like hormones??? I might have to really really try for a plant based diet then!

    Anywho, my May sucked, but it’s over with and out of site, out of mind.😎

    I have no plans for June and currently am thinking up something now.

      Vegan diet helps a lot….

      I know so many people who have shared that how their bad cholesterol, diabetes, blood pressure levels came in controlled numbers with vegan diet.

      But it has to be permanent, I mean you cannot just stay vegan for a month then switch back. Vegan diet is about lifestyle choices.

      Yeah, veganism helps with lots of stuff. I don’t know if this happens for all vegans but all my food intolerances went away after going vegan. However, it’s not just veganism. It’s eating healthy that helps. I think you can still be unhealthy while vegan so you have to be careful.

      Lol, hope June is better 😅

        Yeah, I know I definitely would be an unhealthy vegan (veganism is fine, but I question my eating choices and mental health and probably end up eating the same foods and starving myself).😩

        I’d prefer a plant-based diet instead.

        And, thank you.☺️

    Hi Pooja,
    I’m waiting for my exam results: regular exam of college and competitive exams.
    Our summer vacations are declared between 2nd june to 18th June.
    I’ll ultimately focus on the studies. I need to cover a large amount of syllabus.
    Not completing syllabus has caused, enough loss, in the competitive exams.
    I generally make monthly plans. In the month of June I’ll make a list of some Dos and Don’ts.
    It’ll be about 1) eating habits, 2) thinking and implementation balance,3) sleeping patterns, 4) productivity, 5) self-talks and evening walks, and 6)‘transition to the rainy season’ etc.
    My best wishes to us: you, me, your readers, and everyone.✨✨

    Congratulations on your TSH levels being normal. Glad you are doing better by being healthier about what you eat. Well May was good for me. I prepared for college, it was a lot of work though but I got through it. This month came so fast. I can’t believe how this year is going by so fast. Well, I will be starting my classes hopefully on the 26th of this month. I am waiting on my advisors to contact me about that and a few other things. All in all I am very excited. Keep doing what you’re doing to stay healthy, I am proud of you.

    May was a busy month for me. I read a lot. Glorious Month. But I was even busier in April with it being poetry month and all. Every month brings new adventures. I hope June and July remain healthy months and stress free for you and me too. Blessings to you from Japan. xoxo

    Congratulations on a healthy thyroid! I always had issues too, but thanks to becoming vegan two summers ago, now I have a healthy thyroid!
    I’ve also cut down on oil tremendously. I now stir fry vegetables in water. I even made a water base soup yesterday with a ton of spices.
    Keep up the great work 🙂

      Thanks so much! That’s amazing. Vegan diets can be really helpful but of course it’s important to eat healthy. It’s easy to eat unhealthy even when eating vegan.
      I do the same, most things are cooked using water or shredded coconut. It doesn’t taste bad at all and I actually prefer some foods without oil.

    Thanks for sharing! Getting older sucks… So many health issues pop up as your body starts to wear out. I am glad to hear you got it under control. I have found there isn’t much we can’t do for ourselves if we are determined enough!!
    I had a great month of May and looking forward to a great June. My oldest is getting married later this summer and I am so excited!
    This summer I get to go out into my Community with absolutely no fear and rebuild my social skills that have been slowly coming back the past few months. I get to enjoy the peace of mind I have gained and can finally relax and just enjoy living for a change without the hypervigilance I have lived with for so long. It is a glorious feeling!

      Yes, I love April and May the most when things turn green and flowers come back. However June, July and August is usually too hot. Well… I really should not be negative. Now whenever one says something negative, one needs to say three positive things. So about June, the positive things are: the temperature is good for growing veggies and rice; the inflation is slowing down; nobody is wearing masks anymore.

    Yes, time sure does go faster as we age. Good job on the thyroid management! Best to avoid medications if you can do well without them, I believe. But, if you need them, then by all means take them. I’m glad summer is finally here. I’ve been cycling a lot (180 km in the last week), even though the temperature has gotten up to 32C. Think I’m getting acclimatized to it.

    Good luck with the continued focus on mental and physical health!

    So glad to hear that your TSH results are ok now! I had a lower TSH during my pregnancy, so I had to take medications. Didn’t have any side effects, but I agree with you; speaking of medications – less is more.
