I weighed myself for the first time in many many weeks. I actually wasn't quite sure what to expect, but believed I likely lost a little weight. Seems I lost just over 7 lbs (over 3 kg) during this period. I wasn't exactly dieting, but had generally tried to cut down on overeating. I believe the combination of the trip to the health spa and the reduction of my Seroquel XR helped. It's so odd how again and again 550 mg (or less) of Seroquel XR is vastly more weight friendly than 600 mg and up. In any case, I want to knock off a few more pounds before the holiday whirlwind starts. November has two "special days" for my husband. Then of course December and early January.

I've been experiencing little bouts of anxiety for several days now. They aren't all day bouts, though still very uncomfortable. I've tried to control them with relaxation techniques, but that hasn't fully worked. I'm not liking the reliance on other anxiety assistance. When my anxiety increases, usually antacids are also required. Oddly, Czech Republic does not have the variety there is in the US. I'm nearly running out of my Alka Seltzer fruit chews from the US. They have some "chalky stuff" here, but Hubby said most people simply drink baking soda water. Yuck!
