A lot happened over the weekend….
I started HIV-treatment… just 3 pills a day… I’m feeling just fine… no side effects
I also, went on a date… first date in a very very very long time. Had a wonderful time… we did kiss… first kiss in over 2 years for me… He says that he would like to see me again… He is HIV negative; that kicked up a few things with me. This would be first for me as well; I have only ever dated someone that is pozitve since my diagnosis 10 years ago.
Let’s see… what else… I started taking lessons in sign language… 1-on-1 for an hour on Sundays.
I am still transitioning off of public assistance. Starting next month, I will be paying about 90% of my rent… I can still receive Food Stamps for about a year and keep Medicaid because my employer doesn’t offer health insurance at this time.
In just 2 months, I will be 40 years old. I am still working on my 40lbs by 40yo Challenge. I need to lose 13 more pounds. However, I am not sure how much fat I have actually lost. I know that I have gained muscle and my waist size is getting smaller. So, there is a chance that I might hover around my current weight of 171lbs if I continue to gain muscle mass and shed some fat. Anyway, I feel great.

Just wanted to give a quick update on what’s happening with me.
