I did rally yesterday, after taking a Benadryl and sleeping for another hour. I'm OK this morning, so it must have been allergies.
As for the ADHD meds, after three days I can say its been mostly positive. I'm seeing a big change in overwhelm: before I often couldn't get started because I couldn't decode the starting point and it was just too much. I'm sleeping much better because my thoughts aren't looping, playing back the same thing over and over. On the down side its giving me headaches and an upset tummy, but both are tolerable.
Motivation for this week: yesterday when I got on the scale the +2 pounds from the day before were gone and this morning another pound had disappeared... first pound I've lost in along long time. So I'm going to build on that by keeping my daily exercise minutes up and eating better. I'd still love to drop 15 pounds before my WDW vacation which is ambitious but doable if I stay focused.
