Started Thyroid meds this summer and have developed some lovely cystic acne ever since. Not planning to change Thyroid meds, so I started RX acne cream today. Figured I'd track my skin's progress here. Also started at a new powerlifting gym last week so may share some progress photos at some point. Life has been interesting. Keep looking forward.

It's so fucking cool that I spend my whole lunch break on hold with a mental health clinic only to eventually be directed to leave a message. I would have loved to leave a goddam message 30 minutes ago! This is why people have untreated mental problems!

It is painfully obvious that I'm on my period right now.

[wordsmakeheat]

So fucking tired of feeling this way.

Migraines fucking suck.

That is all.

Supposed to be starting another 40 day elimination diet tomorrow and it is much needed, but I am also going through a stressful time personally and trying to decide if I should start the 40 days and risk failing, or wait until things are less stressful to start. I feel like it's now or never, but I'm afraid of not being able to maintain the mental strength that this requires. I guess there is no real risk, if I fail, I fail. "Failure is not permanent," said someone...

I think this is the year

I finally lose it.

Sir Nicholas Winton is a humanitarian who organized a rescue operation that saved the lives of 669 Jewish Czechoslovakia children from Nazi death camps, and brought them to the safety of Great Britain between the years 1938-1939.

After the war, his efforts remained unknown. But in 1988, Winton’s wife Grete found the scrapbook from 1939 with the complete list of children’s names and photos. Sir Nicholas Winton is sitting in an audience of Jewish Czechoslovakian people who he saved 50 years before.

So my neurologist RX'd an antidepressant to help me sleep and relax my jaw (I have TMJ and I grind my teeth). I can't believe how much better I feel overall. There are exceptions, but it's almost like I just don't care or worry as much. I can focus on the positives more. I have been sleeping much better. I am more interested in sex. I actually want to workout and do things and go places. I still grind my teeth, but not as bad. I am constantly dehydrated and have trouble drinking enough water. I am still dizzy, but it's no longer constant. Hoping I can discontinue the BP med that I'm on, but won't know for another two months. Neuro wants to see how I'm doing after 3 months on both before changing anything. As much as I'd like to not take medication, I am hopeful that it will allow me to feel better and be happier long term.

I'm so excited for what's next. Life seems to be going in exactly the right direction at exactly the right time.

From this day forward I am recommitting to focusing on: Healthy living Romance Adventure That includes taking medication 😢, allowing myself to take rest days, and limiting stress. It also includes going out with friends, hiking and getting outside, and adventuring with my love. I like this plan.

Does it mean I've had too much coffee if my poo smells like coffee?

Got my first chest to bar pull-up yesterday, but no one was watching and I haven't been able to repeat it yet. I'll be there again this afternoon and will give it another try, but if I'm still not super close, I throw a band on and practice with switched grip. My goal is to get a bar muscle up by the end of the year. I think I can do it; I'm surprised at how strong I feel considering how my body had felt over the last several months. Oh! Also PR'd my bench press! 105# and failed at 110#. Always go until failure so you know you maxed out. Loving Crossfit lately...

Went indoor climbing last weekend with some friends for the first time in over 2 years and it was amazing! I had no idea how much stronger I had gotten since my last time climbing and it was exhilarating! I can't wait to go again! Will probably sign up for an outdoor trip with a local gym for this summer and get some outdoor experience! Ooh this is going to be the best year ever!

Me. Foreman, where have you been all my life?!??

Started my reset yesterday and all is well so far except: I have a monster headache I'm constipated I gained a pound Haha! It's crazy that one full day without sugar gives me a rip roaring headache, but I quit coffee (temporarily) with no ill effects... It's also that time of the month, so I think that's probably contributing. Seeing a new specialist this Thursday. Hoping they find something that could be causing my symptoms.
