I am home sick with a wicked cold.
I did the AIDS walk yesterday, which was pretty cool. It was 6.2 miles, but I think I wound up walking about 8 for the day.
I realized how horribly out of shape I'm in. A few years ago, I lost about 55 pounds in a little under four months, thanks to Prozac. I had actually started JOGGING. But then I had to stop taking that medication, and I stopped being good about what I ate, and I gained all the weight back and then some. I would like to get back to a place where taking long walks is enjoyable for me. This new medication is actually making me hungry, whereas on Prozac, I had lost my appetite completely. As my brain gets less mushy, I'm going to have to control my impulse to shove food down my gullet.
I'm starting to like the new pill I'm on, Abilify. It keeps me up most of the night for now (which is probably why I got sick), and I'm dizzy all the time, but it is helping me feel at least well enough to blog. So, that's something, ay?

I hope you feel better real quick!!!
Congrats on the walk!
I hope the bad side effects diminish or disappear completely soon. Sometimes medication can change after a little bit of time (in my experience anyway).
I hate exercise, but I've realized it's not possible to feel good without it. And besides, walks can be fun if the scenery is interesting.
If you can walk 8 miles, Carli, things can't be too bad but 55+ pounds is a lot to gain. Good luck!
maybe it's the hot pads in the lasagna. I assume plastics and carbons are fatting.
P.S. Am very happy you are back blogging.:)
