Weight this am - 150.6
Still
Although at least we're not still at 154 so that's something. I think I got used to seeing a 1.5lb drop each week so I'm spoiled. I'd just really like to leave the 5's behind. It's been since November, we're creeping up on three months now. At least the scale moved again so that's something. Tomorrow will be 11 weeks in the 150's. It's time. It's really time for a 4.
It's also really time for me to exercise. I'm just in overwhelm right now.
Weight this am 150.6
The sadness over what is happening is sinking in. I need a self-care day. I'm overwhelmed by all the horror this overgrown tantrum is inflicting because people thought that voting for hatred and prejudice was ok. I'm just so tired.
I'm sure the new dose isn't helping. I have a headache today. Still not at 150 either. I'd really like to get past this weight decade and move forward.
Weight this am - 151
Didn't officially hit the next mini-goal but I came damn close. Not bad for six months. 38 pounds in 25 weeks - that's an average of 1.5 pounds a week. Today we start 2.4 and the second half of this journey. Let's see what the next 6 months bring.
What I know is that I have to start putting in the work. I need to exercise. I need to start moving again. I have had my holidays and my time of sitting. I need to start doing again. It's so hard when the world feels like it's falling apart but if I'm not going to fall apart with it I need to pick myself up.
Just took my 2.4 shot. That one hurt a bit. Ow. My brain is definitely a bit fuzzy. I'm a little sad that I didn't get to end my 6 months with a final set of photos. Maybe tomorrow though I'll get to take them and START this new set with photos. Crossing fingers. Now I need to go set up my new monthly and quarterly posts.

Looking Back on Month : (weeks 21 - 24 ) 1.7
Did Dry January this month as well as starting a Fitness group. Added water tracking. Decreased BP meds to 1/2 pill. I tried to increase motivation but even in the group I'm in I'm not seeing a major interest in checking in and encouraging each other. I'm doing what I can but not getting back what I was hoping for. I'll probably re-evaluate next month. Not as good a month as I would like. Less than a pound a week this month. I'm hoping 2.4 kick-starts me back up because I still have 31 pounds to go.

Weight this am - 151.6
Looks like I'm not going to hit 150 before my 6 months ends. It's close though, closer than it was just 2 weeks ago. Tomorrow we start 2.4 and officially end my first 6 months on this. Looking forward to seeing the progress and the comparisons.
Today we saw the doctor for my follow up and Mark's annual. He's starting Wegovy soon, once he gets his 2nd box in case there's a shortage still, although I haven't seen as many posts about that.
My labs are good. Cholesterol and Fasting sugar are up, liver tests are down again and now normal. BP was decent 125/88 but we did recently stop meds. Weight was 150-something. I need to check the portal for the stats.
This afternoon my friend Roderick came over to hang out it was nice getting to spend time with him. I like him. Oh and I don't think I mentioned but the job didn't go through. It's ok though. I expressed interest in Project work if she has any.
Tomorrow we start the next chapter.
Weight this am - 150.6
It's cloudy and rainy....well drizzly anyway. Doctor Appointment tomorrow. We'll discuss meds and go from there. I'm interest to see what my BP is after Dry January is almost complete. Although I am adding 2 days to the end to adjust for Jan 20th and 21st Snow in Houston gets a pass.
Weight this am - 151.0
We had Popeyes last night. I knew the scale would be going up because fast food is salty food. So I expected this. Axe throwing was SO MUCH FUN. We even came home with a set of throwing knives. Now we need to build a target.
It's rainy today so no walking. I'm going to rest and make up the Turkey for tonight. My friend may be here on Monday so we'll get the house lightly picked up.
Weight this am - 150.4
Heading out today to go Ax Throwing. That should be interesting. And the weight is going in the right direction again. I see you 150.2. I can almost check you off. So close.
Need to look into cleaning the bones we found as well. Late this week maybe when it warms up a bit.
Weight this am - 150.8
Went on a hike this morning and came home with a disarticulated skeleton - as you do. It's definitely a predator, possibly coyote. That was fun. Rowan running into old rusty barbed wire...not so fun. At least it wasn't bad but we will need to take her for an updated vaccination.
I'm super happy about the scale this morning. 0.8lbs away from my mini-goal! It's so close I can taste it.
Tomorrow we are supposed to go Axe Throwing. Fun Stuff
Weight this am 151.2
Well then. That's nice. Now if we could keep going down for a bit that would make this last month awesome. I would love to start my next weight in with a 150.anything. Maybe tomorrow I can have the 151 without the 0.2 and be able to mark off another number on the list. The next one on the chart is 150.2 in Oct of 2020....I'm getting close.
Should have another walk tomorrow with Rowan. Need to get to be early so we can get up early and go. I may need to pick up a pair of real jeans (stretch preferred) so I have hiking pants. Something cheap.
I'm tired today but that's on par. Just trying to wake up with some coffee.
Weight this am - 152.0
Last week at 1.7 Next week I start 2.4 . It's great to check off another notch on my chart. I would dearly love to see 150 next week but that might be wishful thinking. We'll see
I'll be finishing up my Summary posts this week with the final data next Wednesday.
I need to find the joy. And that may mean stepping back from theatre commitments. I'm just not sure I can do anything longer term right now because I am getting closer and closer to wanting to leave. sigh.
Weight this am - 153
Our democracy is in the hands of bullying toddlers. But it snowed, so I'm getting my joy where I can. Rowan and I went out on a hike this morning at 6:50am. It was beautiful. 4 miles through the woods in the snow. Hopefully I can get them to go with me more often.
We even made a snow angel.
Through all this darkness, remember, there is also love in the world.
Weight this am - 153
I don't have much to say today. In honor of the hero whose day is being co-opted by a traitor, I will resist. I will find my center and my calm.
Today we mourn. Tomorrow we Stand.
Weight this am - 153.0
I prefer the downward swings. I'm wondering if this will technically be an "up" week since last week my new low weight hit on weigh in day. LOL. It loves to be a tease. Hopefully not though. I am really really hoping to be able to check off 152 on my lists. Especially since I was SO CLOSE yesterday. I've also got just over a week until my final weigh in on this box/month. I would so like to hit 150 by then and get to check off my mini goal and set a new one. My last mini-goal was back on Nov 16th. It's been two months since I got to do progress photos and reset my goal. I'm really jonesing to do another one.
I'm not sure how much I'll be mentally up for this week. We have the winter storm coming and the swearing in of the traitorous felon. I might need a mental health break. I'll see how the week plays out. I've put everything into place that I needed to in order to not have to log on if necessary. We'll see how it goes. Self Care is going to be my mantra this week.
Weight this am - 152.2
Another teeny drop. I'm really good with teeny as long as it keeps going down. I'm so so ready for a new goal. Not a fan of limbo. I'm ready for this to move along.
The whole world seems to be in limbo right now. Waiting to see.
Winter Storm is forecast this week. We'll be grabbing the rest of the groceries this morning. Then we're ready. Finish moving the wood inside and then see what the weather brings.
Again. Waiting to see.
Weight this am - 152.6
Down again. At least we are see-sawing with the new number. Much better thank that 156-154 jog. I still hope to see it drop lower soon.
It's looking like there might be a storm next week so today I should be heading out to get some groceries. Better to have it done early than do it with the whole massive crunch of panicking people. I'm really looking forward to this.
Started work on the 6 month comparison. Debating on whether to add any lab values at that point. 😕 We'll see how it goes.
Weight this am - 153
I'm ok with this. It's not 54 so it's definitely progress. Although I still feel like I'm waiting in the 50's limbo right now. I've been in the 50's longer than any other decade so far and I'm getting tired of the "middle five" on the scale. I'm overly ready for the 40's. I've been in the 50's since November 23rd. The Saturday before Thanksgiving. It's closing in on two months in the 50's. Actually one more week and it will be two months - date-wise that is. It's time for the 40's to be ascendant. I mean, I know that *I* am in my 50's but that doesn't mean the scale needs to get stuck there.
It almost feels like going backwards in time as the scale goes backwards. And I'm ready for that. Ready to move freely. Ready to LET GO of things. Ready to let go.
Weight this am - 152.6
I love a new number on shot day! Officially down 1.4 this week. This is great! Of course the weight loss starts up again after I decide to go up in dose....LOL But it's fine. It's been too long without any real movement so I'm still good with my decision. I should be in the 140's by now anyway if I hadn't stalled so this is just getting me back on track.
The Creme Brulee was too sweet and I don't know if that was a failure of the recipe or me doing the topping. Going to taste just the custard later. It was also way too liquid. This one will need a major tweaking and a review of different recipes. Definitely a "trial and error" dessert. I'll get there.
One more shot of 1.7 after today and then I'm in a new month AND a new dose. I'm so ready for things to move forward. I'm ready for another progress photo. New NSV clothing. New mini-goal. It's the New Year and I'm ready for all the NEW - including being able to check off boxes again. Just 2.6lbs to the start of all the N.E.W.
Weight this am - 153.0
If I can keep that scale number I'll be down a pound from last week. Which will put me at one and half so far this month. Half a pound a week is still a loss, and much better than the alternative, but I'd really like to be back at 1 to 1.5lbs a week. Especially since I still have over 30 pounds to go. I really need to kick the exercising into gear - it's just so hard when I'm tired because of interrupted sleep.
Made Creme Brulee for the first time last night. It's currently chilling in the fridge and will be dessert tonight. I'm looking forward to tasting it, especially since I altered the recipe a bit in terms of flavor. We'll see how it came out and if I need to adjust anything.
Events in the political arena are starting to get to me again. I think that's affecting my sleep. I need to find a way to channel that anger away from myself. I need to come out the other side of this intact or they win.
On a winning note - Clothing is all put away. I still need to review that script and make a decision. One day at a time right now. One day at a time.
Weight this am - 154.4
This morning I was supposed to meet up with a walking partner. I was looking forward to that, not just for the walk but for the motivation. Unfortunately her kid was ill last night so we didn't go this morning because she was up most of the night. We will reschedule later. I should still run out to the store. Maybe at lunchtime. Also thinking about hitting the arboretum tomorrow...unless Rowan wants to join me somewhere else.
I'm feeling like I'm in this odd transition stage and I'm having second thoughts about committing to anything right now. The world just doesn't feel stable and I'm having a very hard time being excited about anything theatre.
I don't know. I'll look over the script this week and make a decision.
Weight this am - 154.4
Up again Up again Jiggety jog
While expected, it's annoying. Especially since I really want to get away from that damn four that's been hanging around for weeks. I could feel last night that I had eaten too much/too heavy. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
Back to the rest of the items on the To Do list
Prep Veggies
Clothing
Treadmill
and adding a new item
Unearth the scaffolding. Let's see how we do. I may also work more on the 6 month data comparison post.
Weight this am - 153.4
The up after the drop. It's weight loss in miniature...LOL. Hopefully is drops back down again before Wednesday. Talking about taking a walk in the park today. We'll see if that happens.
I missed my goals again except for making dinner so here we go again:
Treadmill - nope
Christmas - Yes
Clothing - Nope
Veggie Prep - Yes
Let's try again today.
Also got some cleaning done. Did not make it to the park.
Weight this am - 153.2
Still in 53...now if I can stay in the 53 range or go down to the 52 range for Wednesday Weigh-In that would be really great. Hopefully Dry January will help with that.
Reviewed my labs. Some things are up but I definitely ate and drank things over the holidays that I normally don't consume. I'm going to do a "data only" 6 month recap. I'll probably start putting that together later today. Do all 6 months and then show the changes overall. That will be good to have to reference back to later on. Especially in August when I hit the one year mark.
This is the year. This is the year I will achieve the goals I wanted to achieve for my birthday and anniversary. I want to be comfortable in a swimsuit this summer. I want to fit into my wedding dress for my anniversary. I'd love to get some glamour photos done and re-do headshots especially once I hit goal weight. That means that I DO need to add weight training and Pilates for toning.
I didn't get to my goals yesterday so I need to just copy them to today.
Treadmill
Christmas
Clothing
Dinner/Veggie Prep
Let's see how much I can get checked off. It's such a sleepy day.
Weight this am - 153
YES! An actual new number. Just when things were starting to flatline a bit too much. Whew. I've been getting anxious getting on that scale and only seeing variants of 154. Part of me understands that it's all part of the process but when you've spent several years fighting a scale that is only going up....there's a bit of PTSD involved when the progress stops.
I was saying the other day to a friend that this would be how I would want to feel when I switch to maintenance mode after hitting my goal...but it's too early for me to want to be there yet. I'd like to hit the 120s or 130s before stabilization happens again. Which is not that far away anymore. In 14-15lbs I'll be at least IN the 130s. At 2 lbs a week that's 7-8 weeks.
I was telling her that my 3 remaining weeks on 1.7 I'll be focusing on chipping away as much as I can to reduce the amount needed to reach that goal. I'm really hoping to hit 150 and be able to check off my next mini-goal and reset. Especially since this is the last of the larger mini-goals. My first 3 were 10lb goals <179, 169, 159> this one is a 9lb goal to get me to even numbers <150> and after I finally hit this one I can switch to 5lb increments. THAT will be a real achievement.
On to today - I need to make another checklist because that seems to help
Prep Veggies for Upcoming Meals
Prep ingredients for Black Bean and Kale Soup
Start Putting Away Clothing
Treadmill
Put Away Christmas Decorations
That looks like a good list. I'll check things off as I go and move whatever isn't completed to tomorrow.
Weight this am - 154.0
It is lovely and chilly outside. The only problem with that is my hot drinks don't actually STAY hot so I have to keep getting up to reheat them.
Weight is at least down this week. Even though it's only half a pound. I'd love to get out of this 'mid-150s' slump. I hit 156 on Dec 12th, 155 on Dec 16th, 154 on Dec 20th. And then...I just started hovering. The highs are creeping lower. I hit 156 for the last time on Dec 25th and my last 155.anything was Dec 29th. But the lows have really slowed down. I hit 154 on Dec 20th and then didn't hit it again until I popped just under it on Jan 5th. And I just today touched it again. Other than the jump up to 155.8 on Dec 29th my weight since Dec 26th has been between 154.8 and 153.8....so I've been hovering in the same pound for two weeks now.
Looking at the numbers like this I'm even more confident in my decision to ask to move up. I've gotten used to the swings and it's pretty evident that it's not doing that right now.
Took my meds. Two pens left of 1.7. I also made a note of the week I need to set my next 3 month follow-up. I really love doing the reflections posts because it gives me a great data overview. Both monthly and quarterly.
I'm actually going to go work on migrating data into the newest quarterly post since it's getting close to time to post that one.
Weight this am - 154.4
Had my Doctor appointment this morning and, like an idiot, autopilot took my thyroid pill. grrr. Which meant we couldn't draw blood. I have an appointment with LabCorp tomorrow morning to try again. THIS TIME, however, I have put a big NO post it on top of my pill container. This is the first time I screwed that particular thing up.
BP was 120/80 - decreasing BP meds in half. We'll see how it looks in 2 weeks when I go in for lab results.
Waiting to set thyroid meds until we get labs back. I'm currently at 90mg in the am and 45 in the afternoon for a total of 135mg. I'm thinking the next step down would be shifting to 60mg twice a day for 120mg but we'll see how labs come back. That might not be a bad idea for the next script.
Increased Wegovy to 2.4 since I have definitely plateaued and I don't want to lose momentum now. Not while I'm still hovering just over my *before Covid* highest weight. Plateauing in the 130s I can get down with...but not in the 150s. I expect to have to work harder for the lower weights.
My script should be filled on the 10th so I need to remember to check online at CVS for the status.
I'm really starting to feel like myself again.
Exercise - Treadmill 30 minutes at 2.6 for 2 miles
Weight this am - 154.2
Up again but not as much. Need to do treadmill today. I'm still dealing with an on again - off again headache. I'm thinking it's partly insomnia and partly Dry January. Would be nice if I could sleep through. Hopefully that kicks in soon.
Today I need to:
Call Insurance to Confirm Coverage of ALL Strengths of Wegovy
*Done - Auth is for 1.7 AND 2.4 good for 1 year. - YAY
Treadmill
*Done - 30 minutes at 2.9 for 1.9 miles
Prep Salmon for Tuesday
*Done - Salmon filet in a saffron-garlic-honey-lemon marinade
Start Putting Away Clothing
I'll check those off as they get done. Then I can feel like I accomplished things.
Doctor Appointment tomorrow morning. We can see how my labs are progressing and I get to decide what to do about meds.
Weight this am - 153.8
YES. Finally. A new number! Now it just needs to keep going in that direction. But THIS is what I needed to see.
Now it can continue to move in that direction and I can start being able to check things off again on my charts. I am SO READY to check off new boxes and finally hit my next mini-goal. I'm definitely due for a new goal and a new set of photos.
Now...do I want to do a treadmill today or do I want to do the Yoga workout.
I'll see how I feel after I have my coffee.
Weight this am - 154.4
Well...it's not 155. That's something. I guess. I'm feeling very much like I'm in a stall. sigh. I am back to walking though, and not drinking, so hopefully that will take effect soon. I do much better with any sort of progress...even if it's only 0.2lbs. If I could see 154.0 again that would feel like things are moving along.
Shopping day today. I definitely need to get on the salads. Also need to call the insurance to verify terms of the prior auth, meal prep for the week, and decided what I want to do in terms of dosage. Stay at 1.7 or move up to 2.4?
decisions decisions.
Weight this am - 154.2
First Friday of the New Year and while it's not a new LOW - it is a new number. And much closer to becoming a new number as long as it keeps trending in THIS direction.
Trying to get into an exercise routine. I've eaten and am getting ready to hit the treadmill. Just want to digest food first. Then after I walk I think it's time to get decorations put away and start working on getting my clothing put away and clean and organize my crafting area. I want to get things in order so I can complete projects.
The year of Get Things Done.
Exercise: Treadmill - 41 minutes at 2.6 for 2 miles
Weight this am - 154.8
Dammit. I'm so tired of the up. Just go DOWN already. sheesh.
Headache this morning. It's going to be interesting today with this. It's the day after shot day so I'm definitely exhausted. But the scale not moving is definitely getting challenging. I REALLY need to see some new bottom numbers. It's getting close to 2 weeks. Grrrr.
I just don't do well with stalls. Doesn't need to be a lot but I do need to see something happen. Like seeing 154.0 again. Or 153. I'd really love to see a three.
Yesterday was the first day of Dry Jan. Definitely easier than last year so far. Even with Mark having beer right next to me. Today I should take some time to pack away the alcohol at the bar so it's out of sight. That and get the dining room done. The library is pretty much back to normal so I can hit the treadmill again.
Debating between treadmill and pilates today. We'll see how it goes.

Today we start the New Year. With all the Joys and Tribulations it will bring. It's fitting that today is a "Reflections" day as well.
I'm starting the year off at half my weight gone. Which is great. I'm starting month 6 also at halfway to goal. Which is also awesome. This week I need to check on the prior auth and confirm it's for all dosages of the med. Then I need to decide if I stay on 1.7 or go up in dose.
I also start Dry January today. And begin my fitness group. It's going to be a lot of fun.
My word for 2025 is Accomplishment. This is the year of "Get Shit Done"
Checking back in. Walk done. Water at 64oz so I hit my minimum. It's a good beginning.
Looking Back on Month 5: (weeks 17 - 20) 1.7
Hit Halfway - 154.6 - on 12/20/24
It's been a month. Not even close to what I wanted to lose but it's still an average of a pound a week. We'll see how this week goes with getting diet and exercise back on track. Then decide if it's time to move up. All in All considering the holidays...I'm happy.

12/10 - 12/18 - Nope - nausea is back. It's more of a low level queasiness much more frequently with bouts of heavier queasy and very occasionally a full blown nausea. My body fully rejected food one night because it was apparently too much dairy? who knows.
12/18 - 12/25 - nausea specifically the night after the shot. low level queasiness otherwise. Thursday is now officially Tired Thursday. AND I just realized that my sneeze incontinence has mostly resolved itself now that I'm almost halfway to my goal.
12/25 - 01/01 - a bit more constipation, need to up fiber. No nausea the evening after but gag reflex is hair trigger. Definitely more hiccups and DRY TONGUE. It gets super dry overnight.
