Time to do some catching up

Last night's weigh in: down 3.8 pounds. Total lost to date: 18.2 pounds. I received my "Sixteen Week" charm from Weight Watchers last night too! It's applauding hands (very nice) because actually sticking with it for 16 consecutive weeks is to be commended. Feeling good about it all and don't plan to stop.

I've been taking a new (different for me) medication to help me fall asleep. The results have been favorable. I AM falling asleep. I'm still waking up, though, but can usually fall back asleep pretty easily. The "sleep hangover" (feeling sleepy the next day) is not as extreme as other medications I have taken in the past. I have been taking this medication for approx. 3 weeks.

My exercise of choice continues to be the exercise bike. I have added some resistance band/hand bell arm workouts as well.

I am processing a lot of "mind clutter" by journaling, list making and thought mapping. It has been good therapy (and quite eye opening at times).
