I'm weeeeeeeeeened!

After a very disturbing visit to my now ex-pshychiatrist a few months ago, I decided to start weening myself off of my anti-depressants. I started taking them during a really tough part of my life and have recovered from that and found great happiness internally. And my now ex-pshychiatrist said he didn't know why I was taking them.

Well ladies and gentlemen, after a long and slow process, I am completely free of my anti-depressants!! Never to enter my body again (knock on wood). I feel more alive and more like myself. Of course, I'm a little more emotional, but that is just me. And to be quite honest, I like being emotional because it makes me feel alive. I felt numb on effexor.

Anyway, just wanted to share my good news!!

Hiking on up...on the south side

It's been too long, where have I been? Working out, that's where!! :)

In my quest on getting fit, I made a decision a couple of weeks ago to start climbing up the steep hills on my way to work instead of taking escalators and elevators in avoidance. It's been great! I get to work refreshed and energized. It's still hard and I breathe rather rapidly all the way to work, but I know it's good for me and I need to do it!

I've also been trying to go for walks after lunch. And I haven't been accepting any of my lame excuses to not go to the gym. I've gone when completely exhausted, headachy and busy. No more excuses!! Matt's been really good too. I see a change in both of us.

Well, gotta go climb up some more hills!!
