No Physical Activity

So, I'm not supposed to do any physical activity until I feel 100% better. Great. Not that I have the energy to do my normal workouts anyway. I don't want my spleen to rupture or anything. Doctor's orders!

Medication

I also wanted to mention about my medication. As of last Tuesday, April 3rd, I took my last dose of generic Zoloft. It is my belief that some of my weight gain was due to the medication I was taking. I think that after three or four months on the medication, I got what I needed and we’ll see how my well-being is without it. It was never meant to be a long term solution, just an encouragement and way to temporarily deal with my social anxiety. I think that I did gain some confidence, enough to see how I’ll do without it. With the combination of exercise and therapy, I think I can continue on this path of self-learning and growth. It’s really neat to reflect on how far I’ve come in the past year and it makes me thankful for all of my experiences: starting therapy, new and forced responsibilities at work, and diving deeper into life. I highly recommend it for everyone!

Lifehouse

As I mentioned on Trying, Lifehouse has a new album coming out in June. My goal is to lose ten pounds before I will allow myself to purchase the album. This is an effort to push and motivate myself to get off my fat ass and do something about my weight. As you can see, this well-being blog has really helped me with motivation (please note sarcasm). I think striving to work out four times per week will assist me in losing the ten pounds. The update is: I actually worked out four times this past week: Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. My legs are very sore … in a good way. This tells me how out of shape I am … I’ve pretty much lost all muscle in my legs (how depressing).
