A Quick Monday Update

About a year or so ago I was making good progress on my weight loss, and then stalled, and then gained all of the weight back and possibly more (we'll find out on Wednesday). It's an unfortunate circumstance as I experience chronic migraines, and the two meds that I was prescribed, Propranolol and Amitriptyline helped with both.

If you're familiar with these drugs you'll know that Amitriptyline is known to encourage weight gain, and Propranolol isn't, but if you search the web you'll find story after story of it happening. Well, despite keeping to my exercise routine and calorie restriction I continued to gain weight, until I got to a point of not caring -- because who is going to put in all that effort for no reward?

And so as we approach Wednesday and I restrict my calories and increase my exercise, I will once again be Propranolol and Amitriptyline free, having weaned myself off both over the last few months. I'm hoping I'll see the same success as last time, and should migraines again become a problem, I'll deal with them after reaching a healthy weight and body composition.
