Doing Better
We got the truck today... truck, car, if it has 4 wheels, is relatively small and goes vroom it's a car to me. I'm feeling much better than yesterday. I got 12 hours of sleep plus an hour nap in the middle of the day and an hour nap at night. It's 11pm as I write this. We got our grocery shopping done and went to the Chinese buffet. I ended up with a food coma, so I came home and lay down. I was only going to lie there for a bit, but then sleep hit. Scratch that, I slept for 2 hours tonight. It did feel good, but I'm probably going to have to take klonopin -again- to get back to sleep. I'm just glad we got our stuff done. I wish I would stop mood swinging like this... I don't know why I'm going up and down like I am. My mood stabilizer has been pretty steady for the most part, and the last time I got like this they put me on Neurontin. That's what caused all the pain in my taper, so I don't want to be going back on that drug ever again.
Mood today was good. I didn't get my workout in since 1. we had the car and had things to do and 2. it was raining most of the day, but I did still feel good. Yesterday I felt like a failure since I didn't get a good workout in. I might be taking this whole losing weight thing a bit too seriously, but that's why I have to talk to my therapist about it. I'm doing good... I'm back down to 215 (at least I was today, pre- Chinese buffet) and feeling good. My body confidence is dropping a bit since I have all this loose skin, but as time goes on I hope it tightens up a bit and I'm not left with everything sagging. I'm too young to be sagging lol! I told myself that when I made it to 215 I was going to get a pedicure, so when I go for therapy next time (where the salon is) I'm going to go get my toes done. You have to set mini goals and reward yourself for them when you reach them.
Food today was bad, but I had planned on that. I went over my calories at the buffet, but it was so worth it! The food there was so good! I didn't eat as much as I normally do because before I went I had a little snack. When we went to the store, we got Wendy's and I got a chili and a potato. It was too much for me, so I just set aside some of the chili to have later. Well, I ate it a couple hours before I went to the buffet, and it prevented me from splurging too much. I did have ice cream at the end, though, which I normally don't do. Oh, I can't wait to go back again, but our budget and lack of car make it rare that we get to go. It's for the best- for my waistline at the very least.

Although I am not learned on the meds you are taking - do you think you have to wait until they are in your system for a time. I do know some meds are not working fully until you take them for a couple weeks to a month. Maybe you have to give your new combination of meds time.
Super you were able to get your shopping done and enjoyed your Chinese.
yeah, you got the car did your errands and best of all, had the chinese buffet! congrats on getting to 215, and great idea about the pedicure. that was a much better amt. of sleep, i know the food made you sleep in the evening like that, otherwise youd of been fine. hope you had a great day today.
