It's that time of week, weighing in on weighing in.

First off, I started taking the weight loss pill, Foundayo on Friday. It's the same manufacturer of Zepbound, but the pill only has one ingredient, not two. Don't ask me what, I forget.

It works immediately. By the time lunch rolled around, I didn't care. I stopped visiting the refrigerator.

Let me digress... Thursday night I had the human equivalent of the "zoomies" in the kitchen. I've hurt my back last weekend drilling and screwing the new pool steps in. It has gotten better, but it hurts. I received several pieces of mail related to DH's accident, insurance-wise, and I was PO'd. I hate insurance. So, there I was at the end of the day and my rope, in the kitchen with a tin of brownies and bag of newly opened hot and sweet beef jerky.

When the damage was done and I tallied my fit in Cronometer, I had eaten maybe 1400 calories for the day. Big deal. Not a thing. Minor. But it was the action, not the calories that got me. Had I been on this drug a day earlier, it wouldn't have happened.

I find that mind-blowing.

Back to this morning. I'm down 15 pounds. 194.4.

Woah. 

For the past two weeks I have continued to eat like I was on the drug, behaving like a good animal for a change and only eating when I'm truly hungry. My portions remain small. No snacking, except for the previously described fit. 

There's something to be said for this medication. There's also something to be said for behavioral modification and keeping to it!

    Thanks for the report! Good work you’re doing!
    I’ve had too many fits with food lately.
    Is the pill once a week?

      This a daily dose. I chose this option for the half-life. After having the reaction to the injection, I'd rather have something that leaves my system sooner. So far, so good, but it's only day 4.

    This is indeed a good report. I've got an e-mail half written as I just had a visit with youngest sis who is on the Ozempic shots. Good information! She's down I think she said 30 pounds. Her shorts are threatening to lower on their own. Also reports the loss of appetite and the nausea. She shared what they recommend to her for protein and it sounds so high to me, but then again... when I think about protein recommendations they gave to my son back in the day... maybe not so bad.

 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...
