The Times They Are A-Changin'

I miss being on the medication that didn't work. Lithium has really helped my mind, but it hasn't really helped my body image. When I was on Citalopram, I was back to my high school weight of 105-100. Now, after a year on Lithium, I'm seriously in danger of reaching 130 if I'm not careful. And it shows. I know I'm not overweight or anything, but I just don't feel healthy. My clothes don't fit right, and I definitely have a belly. In other words, I'm not wearing the weight well. I've been working out via Wii Fit at least three times a week, but I'm not really seeing any results. Time to bump up the work out regiment. I'm trying to watch what I eat more too, but it's very frustrating since I've always had a really high metabolism and I feel as if I'm gaining this weight through no fault of my own because of the meds. Oh well. Maybe all of this will force me to be more active and eat better even though I've never really needed to. I just wish I could get my jeans to fit properly again.

In other news, I had a lovely afternoon and evening in Tacoma yesterday with some friends that used to work with Wren at Security. I'm sort of regretting not becoming closer to all of them when I had the chance. It's strange to miss people I've only spent a significant amount of time with in person maybe half a dozen times, yet I do. The play we saw was wonderful and affected me the way good theater always does, which is to say that it made me very contemplative and I'm having trouble shaking that. I miss college, I miss my friends, and I'm afraid of the fact that so many more changes are soon to come. Oh well. I guess I'll deal with them when they happen. What else can I do?
