199.0000000

A solid 199. So officially I've lost 10.2 pounds in seven weeks. I took the last of my "starter dose" jabs on Friday, weight day is Sunday.

I can see a difference, and I like it. Everything fits a bit better. I keep in mind my gym work and activity level have increased so I also have built a bit of heavier muscle in those seven weeks. DH thinks I've lost a lot more but my body changes rapidly in a scenario like this (how many times has THIS happened?). 

Lack of appetite is also lack of interest in cooking and I've fallen off the food prep wagon. Fortunately when I do prepare, the freezer gets portions. Last night's dinner was a chicken Florentine which I might make again today. I am still not eating enough and I'm working on it.

I will make a huge effort to cook/stock up on items this week as my next dose is increased. 

yay

    Good job on 10.2 lbs in 7 weeks. Good job. That’s a good plan to make meals for the freezer so you can just pull something out when you don’t feel like cooking.

    Good luck in this new week!

    I'm glad you are seeing results, adapting to the way things are with the medication applied, and continuing to focus your brain on making it work.

    I'm still having to go hunt for posts of my friends every so often. Between the two dog week, and recuperation from it..
    Oh well!

    Hope you have a great week ahead, and keep on filling that freezer.

    Congratulations! Is the jury still out? Looking forward to the report on non-starter jab results.
    The transition from one school rhythm to another sent me on an eating frenzy. Working to correct that now. Three days of the scale moving in the correct direction.

 It's raining, it's pouring, my old man is snoring! I am living a new normal.  Oh, wait, this has been my life for quite a while! After my hip surgery, an awesome adventure to which I have recovered in an amazing way, my DH insisted I slow down. Ha. He finally got an active call for the job he's been on for a while; sitting in a car by live wires brought down by disasters. Think ice, snow, tornadoes. It's easy for him as all he has to do is yell "get away from there" until the utilities fix the wires. What he didn't do was drink enough, sleep, take his meds (none). He passed out, landed on his head and received a TBI. Subdural hematoma and multiple hemorrhages throughout his brain. Lucky us, he has no deficits, a headache, 6 staples in the split in his scalp and a lumbar spinal injury that will heal with PT. I had to drive 6 hours to the trauma hospital, sit in it for three days with my elder daughter in tow, and bring him home 3 days after his injury. Ano...

 My once in a while post. Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful for all of you. I am grateful that the Christmas cactus, once a twig of three leaves that fell off my dad's plant in 2001, has decided to bloom early for me on one side. There are small buds on the other side of the plant. I'm also grateful this chest was built by my dad. It holds half my hoard of yarn. I am grateful for a full table. I cooked and we joked about the "meals on wheels" I delivered to DD2's house where the four (five) of us had a nice, quiet Thanksgiving. No, it wasn't his plate. It was opportunistic jumping onto an emptied chair. And speaking of chairs. Behind this you can see the other hoard of yarn. The new chair is for the recovery of a new hip, planned for late February. It was a very short and quick run of "why does my hip hurt?" back in July to "oh, that's why" last month when the doctor told me it is bone on bone! I am helped by keeping in shape and going ...

 A day late, but here's week 4 of jabs. The scale was kind and showed me I had lost seven pounds at the end of three weeks. I'm now back to where I was in the beginning of December when I swore I could get under 200 pounds by NYE, at 202.  I then gained 2 pounds and started the new year a bit grumpy that I couldn't do right. Deja vu, all over againšŸ˜¬. My surgical weight was 204 and when I started the drug, I was 209. The creep. It's followed me all my life. I am consuming the same kind of meals I normally would. The volumes are a bit less and I have to force myself to eat the required amounts that are healthy for me; like adding two ounces of chicken to my salad is a chore. I find I hesitate to fill up on my beloved veggies as I need room for the protein. That 1/2 cup of elbow macaroni, three small meatballs and about 1/3 cup of sauce was hard to finish. After years of dieting I can tell a 1/3 cup of food from a 1/2 cup of food from a mile away. I can split a bagged sal...
