A little over a month later

So it's been a little bit over a month now, and I think it is time to give you a little update of how I have been finding and what difference I have found. Though I will state that I feel it is very early in the game.

I start off with a rip and a roar and was really loving the cooking and the newness of it all and in some ways, this hasn't really worn off. In saying that though It has been a really rough couple of weeks. Not too long before all this started I went through a medication change and initially it looked like this were really good and that it was better than previous mixes but I crashed down into a fairly major depressive episode. This really affected my motivation and ability to cope which in turn affected my ability to go the gym and cook well. I muddled through and have been cooking as best I can but I'm back to see my doctor on Thursday to discuss meds.

I'm now seeing just how much of a struggle implementing something like this while depressed can be but that doesn't make it any less of a good idea. For me, I'm just having to be kind to myself and do what I can and forgive myself the rest. So to anyone who is thinking about something like this but is not sure how they will cope, I suggest giving it a go and perseveringly without stressing about how well you are doing or not doing.

Update: I've seen my doc today and we have agreed on of my medications needs putting up a little.
