Baby steps, right?

I've actually managed to stick to my guns for 5 days with most days carbs under 50 and only one with carbs high, but still under 100. I haven't broken down for Fritos and bean dip, and I haven't eaten too terribly much of the things that hate me (gluten, almonds, dairy, corn, sugar, fake sugar, eggs, etc.).

Results:

• Down 6.6 pounds
• Stomach is not as bloated
• My digestive system isn't constantly cranky (although it has had its moments)
• My wrists don't hurt
• The constant ringing/itching in my ears is less
• I have more energy (as in, I went for a walk in the park and boxed up another box of books to get rid of yesterday)
• My muscles aren't aching
• I'm not freezing all the time (just part of the time)
• Depression/anxiety is lifting more and more

Hoping for:

• Brain fog to clear
• Cravings to go away (peanut butter helps)
• Ears to clear up completely
• Depression/anxiety to freakin' go away.
• Digestive system to love me back.
• Further fat loss
• More muscles (I randomly weight lift or do exercise programs, need to get more consistent)
• Shoulders to quit hurting

We're talking about me taking a massage course in the fall (full-time college courses, including Anatomy & Physiology). If my brain and joints are cooperating, it makes my chances of success much, much higher.
