Man Cans

Started doing weight watchers at work. I figure/hope that spending money to lose weight and the scorn/encouragement of my fellow coworkers will help motivate me. So far that is the case...I've lost nearly 15 pounds. I hit 230 pounds...my all time high was 251. But I was starting to get man cans. Weight watchers tells me my goal is to get down to just above 200 pounds. I've done this before and I look sick thin. I'll be happy to get between 210 and 215. If I have a window I will be much happier vs. one number.

Wife has been doing weight watchers again and has already lost more than 10 pounds. Bottom line is that weight watchers gets the diet in check and if you excercise you will really see results. So we're trying to help each other excercise at least three times a week.

My psychiatrist wondered if Straterra might help me focus more at work. He also noted I would be taking it with my Wellbutrin to keep my anxiety in check. So far, Straterra may be helping me focus more at work. But the side effects suck butt. Dry mouth, more emotional, no appetite and possibly constipation. So it is a good diet helper, but I suspect I will not continue taking it after my month trial ends. I do not enjoy taking it quite frankly so even if it does help me focus, it is not worth it.

Work is going well. I enjoy it, it is hard and I am successful. This is a good combination.

Daughter and son are doing well. Daughter starts school soon which is odd and sad somehow.

More to come hopefully as I dust off this old blog o mine. Hopefully more of the good content I have in earlier posts and none of this diary of useless detail.
