Frustrating....

Today has been frustrating. It started out good, but after seeing my doctor about my paxil medication (for anxiety) I got anxious about my weight loss. I have been taking Paxil for about five years now. Well, recently my doctor informed me that Paxil makes you crave carbs, so, he decided to lower my dosage. That didn't work out, I tried the lower dosage for about a week but my anxiety was through the roof and I decided to go back up. Immediately I noticed the cravings he was talking about, but I did my best to ignore them. Today at my appointment he talked about how much harder it is going to be to loose weight with the higher dosage and how hard it is to ignore the cravings blah, blah, blah. Needless to say I could NOT stop thinking about the cravings.

I have read that writing down everything you eat helps, I didn't really see how. But I realized that at the end of the day I start to worry about how much I ate and what I ate. So, I decided that I am going to start writing down everything that I eat through out the day.

I had a good work out today, I walked/jogged on the treadmill. I could not find my ipod so I listened to music on the computer and it wasn't as fun, but regardless I still feel that I got a good work out. Tomorrow I think that I will go to Monte Berico to climb the stairs a few times. I don't have tennis shoes since my dog chewed my old ones, so I won't go to the gym until the new ones that my hubby bought me come in the mail (I can't wait)

Well, that is enough for today, hope that tomorrow it is better as far as my struggle with cravings go :)
