Thought I would do an update of post paxil... I've definitely encountered withdrawals. I also stopped birth control. I'm hoping to start losing weight. I was at 139 on the 5th. The medicines made me gain weight in addition to bad eating habits while Cody was deployed. I've changed up my diet some. Trying to cook healthier. I've also cut back on sodas. Not as much as I would like though!. We got a water machine for the house so were drinking a lot more water, which is wise out here in the desert. Cody is back on nights so we haven't seen really seen much of him around here. Next week he starts the range so we should start seeing him a lil more. I've began doing hair again which feels great. These past two weeks have been crazy though. We all got this stomach flu that's going around, then Connor and I have horrible sinus/allergies problems. Friday (4/16/10) I started the "Friday Fit Club" for wives here on base. It was a work out! My legs have been sore all weekend. I really need to lose about 15 to 20 lbs. A lot of people are discouraging that, because I'm "smaller" than they are but I need to get back to my "normal" weight, which is about 120. Everyone has their normal and goal weight. Whats right for me may not be right for you and vise verse. Tomorrow I am starting p90x. I will post updates on here with before and after pictures.

Changes

Wow, it's been a while since I last made a post. Things are going good here in Yuma. It's already starting to get into the 90's and it's just now April. Connor is getting to be such a big boy! He is very smart and talks SOOOO much. He will definitely fit in well with the family back in Texas. We are planning to have an early birthday party for him while we are visiting in May. School is going pretty well. Not so great in Math but I'm trying. My Meteorology class is kinda tough too but I get by lol. Cody just graduated from Corporals Course and is now going back to night crew as of tomorrow night. So maybe I'll be able to go to the gym or just for a run around the block during the day. I'm trying to get word out that I can cut hair to make a little extra money. I'm trying to lose a little weight that I put on while Cody was deployed, due to stress, eating bad, and medications. I officially stop taking my Paxil tomorrow. Today was my last day. I've done pretty good I think. I went to a dr. that started winging me off of it slowly. I'm going to be glad to get these meds out of my system. I have one more month of birth control and were still talking about whether were going to start trying for baby #2 or wait longer. We'll see!
