Good Morning!

Day 26 
Weigh in: (because I'm too excited to wait until Monday) 294.2!!

Also watching Legally Blonde which motivates me to workout xD


I'm so sorry for the lack of updates!  I haven't completely given up on this weight loss effort.  Things got tough after my last update.  I ran out of my medication and since I wasn't able to get refills for 5 days I figured now would be a good time to start getting off of them since I'd have to someday anyways if I ever became pregnant.  Well apparently Seroquel is a hell of a drug to get off of.  The withdrawal symptoms were awful.  I didn't sleep for a week unless heavily put under something to help.  I'd lay in bed and just cry for hours.  Losing weight was the least of my concerns.  How could I think about working out when I'd lay in bed and hear voices screaming in my head for hours, pushing me to my very last point of sanity..

But! The good news now though is I'm on new medications and using Zzzquil to help sleep at night.  Since I'm getting sleep again and taking medication that helps with focus and energy I've been losing weight at an amazing pace!  I've already lost 4 pounds this week.  My appetite is down and I'm not ravishingly hungry all the time.  I had Chinese food last night.  I only had one glass of soda and only ate half of my entree.  I finally feel like I'm on the right track.  When I talked to my doctor about how tired the Seroquel made me she mentioned people on it have to be very very active and it can cause weight gain which explains why I gained 50 pounds since I've been on it.  Maybe tomorrow I'll post up a before picture so later I can look back at it and remember where I'll never be again.  :D  

Today I need to start doing my P90 workouts again.  I'm so excited to be awake and have energy to do stuff I'm almost overwhelmed by it.  I could do dishes, clean, read books, write stories, draw, knit, workout, play video games! I want to do it all at once!  Aaahhh!!
