Overall, it was a decent week. Nothing worth writing home about...but still I didn't bomb. So, I'm happy about that. My weight is down almost another pound - which is good. And when I asked James if he's noticed any changes in my body, his response was (keep in mind he's brutally honest and I love him for it), " Yeah, that cottage cheese sh*t is disappearing on the sides of your legs and your hamstrings." I laughed...it's cool to know he sees progress as well.

For the most part, I'm staying within the calorie budget I've set for myself. I just know there are times when I could make better choices. Trying not to beat myself up about it....just learn and move on.

Workouts were good. I curled 30lbs dumbbells this week...that was the first time in as long as I can remember that I've done that. It was a nice little ego boost.

I guess the thing I struggle with the most is wondering if I will ever feel "normal." My hormones seem to have gotten better in the past 6 months...and I'm grateful for that. But, I still can't remember things for the life of me, get some dizzy spells, anxiety, night sweats and have trouble sleeping when PMSing. It's frustrating because I feel like I'm treating myself a lot better than I used to...so how long will it be before my body finally balances out? I know it could be a whole lot worse...and it has been. Great strides have been made.

That's about all to report for now.

Hope you all have a Happy, Healthy Halloween Weekend!
