No gain, no loss this week. Considering the pig I made of myself yesterday I can live with that.

I'm going to try to taper down on my Celexa. When I started thyroid medication I became really edgy and would cry over every little thing. The doctor raised my Celexa from the standard 40mg to the maximum 60mg and it worked like a charm - the edginess went away and I stopped crying.

But I wonder if maybe my body has adjusted to the thyroid meds. I've been on them since August and am now taking 100mcg a day. The bruises on my legs have practically disappeared! It's so good to see that the meds are working and my body is starting to heal. Anyway, I'm going to take just 40mg of Celexa this week and see how I do. If I get edgy again I can easily go back to 60mg a day.

Thyroid meds are natural hormone and a good thing to take, but I don't like having to take depression medication, especially more than I need. I take it because i need to, but if I can get by on 40mg I'd rather do that.

Okay, the weekend. Friday Brad and I went shopping. First I bought an large bag of the Innova Evo cat food. It's expensive, but is bar none the healthiest cat food on the market. I buy the dry food, and use regular wet food for them, but wet food is strictly a treat and not something they get daily. At any rate, Innova Evo is the best commercial cat food. The only thing healthier is feeding raw, but most people (myself included) don't want to hassle with that. I eat healthy, and so my cats should to.

I bought Alli and paper towels at Coctso, but they were out of cat litter. We went to Safeway and I got a couple of the large containers of their store brand litter.

Friday night I baked the oatmeal cookies using the wheat gluten. They came out chewier, but not bad at all. I'll use the wheat gluten again and post the recipe here soon.

Saturday we never did get around to walking. We took the back way and it ended up taking us an hour and a half to get back to where I live from church! Never again! Every time we take the back way it ends badly. I tried to communicate to Brad where I wanted to go, but I wasn't clear enough and he didn't ask specific questions to ascertain what I meant. We finally found where I wanted to go, but it was too late by then. Maybe next week.

Today Brad's health club pass was still good so we went to the health club together and he (mostly) just watched me work out. Then I ran on the treadmill for about 30 minutes (I accidentally pulled the emergency stop twice so I don't know the exact time or distance) and Brad walked on an adjoining treadmill. It's our last workout together because his pass runs out this week.

I have some "God thoughts" and confessions to share, but that will have to be tomorrow because today's entry is already too long. So stay tuned. :)
