Great job on the weight milestone, Em!
I seem to have a different reaction on Ozempic than you, Mike and others. I have the same hunger but feel like I have much more restriction. But my blood chemistry loves it.

Good morning, everyone!
Same deal as yesterday - I made it to 6:30 AM CrossFit class. Usually, I WFH on Wednesday but since I will be on a long vacation, I am trying to get a lot of in person days before I go. Which is tomorrow, 1 work day to go!
Marilyn turns 57 on Saturday and on Sunday we have our 34th wedding anniversary. We are having a Mini celebration tonight. Marilyn is making a quiche and I picked up a bottle of Mouton Rothschild for a special toast.
Nothing too crazy though, because we need to leave for the airport around 8:30 tomorrow. Our son is driving us. I will post tomorrow.
QOTD: I think just restaurant recommendations.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: don't know
Dinner: Quiche and Grand Cru
Have a great day, all!

Good morning! Oooh now I want a head massager for Chloe! Send me the link!
Today is moving day for my ex. Naturally it's raining. The movers aren't here despite confirming 9 am. I'm on laundry load 5. I am just telling myself, half of today will be stressful and then you're onto a new life. Also, I found not one, not two but THREE great house options for me yesterday. So that was an attitude boost!
Eats today are just random. I have potbelly sandwich left and chipotle burrito bowl left. With all the packing there's been no cooking! I didn't do my shot yesterday and today I can't really afford to feel off even a little bit so I'll do it tomorrow. I want it work better over the weekend anyway! It's seriously changed my life over the last year, being on Wegovy (compounded since my insurance won't cover it so it's about $300 a month). I'm down a pretty momentous amount of weight as of today so I'm choosing to celebrate that!
Have a wonderful day everyone!
Good morning all and Happy Hump Day,
So ... It's the middle of the week; do you know where your brain is? This thought played out in my mind like, it's the middle of the night; do you know where your child is?
I had a good day yesterday despite not accommodating a lot of tasks due to external forces. My support circle made it a good day and warmed my heart.
QOTD- No fashion trends. Oh, the Tik Tok hustle in place of a full time job. I watched a lot to confirm what I should not be doing. It was pretty much promising easy money for doing almost no work. That's why the trend was called the Hustle. Since I have actually been hustling, in their definition, to support myself for years, so many good lessons why you don't take the easy way out. Also, pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Those tik tok hustles that actually worked got burnt quickly since everyone's replication saturated that market to death.
B: Almonds, coffee, half bagel and lox.
L: PP shake
D: ??
Meals have been hard to plan. I haven't been in the mood to cook anything lately.
HW: 371 SW(8/9/21): 324 CW: 208 lbs 0 lbs til goal of skin reduction surgery. I'm still looking for a new plastic surgeon.

Good Morning! I hope your mom is doing okay and isn't too sore from her fall. I think we should declare it Thursday?! I do have a few reports to work on today so it should go by pretty quickly. I'm grateful that my two team members are doing good and even during the payroll weeks I am able to work on my other stuff while they handle most of that, which has been the goal.
QOTD: The Ninja Creami counts I hope!
TSS: 10 years 1 month
B: SF latte, Fiber/protein oatmeal, turkey sausage, and an orange
L: Turkey and cheese sticks, carrots, light and fit yogurt and some fruit
S: Protein popcorn, a piece of fruit and yogurt
D: TBD
ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast
E: 1/2 hour elliptical and 20 mins Pilates bar
V/W: On track
Totals: TBD
Have a great day!

Good morning ~ Nothing ever seems to be as exciting as our brains tell us it will be! That is what I told myself on Monday when there was a Nacho Bar party in the lunchroom. I didn't go but my brain won't shut up about it because I still want nachos! Yesterday was great work progress for me, but very stressful in other ways. Today will be very busy, a mini project first thing, 3 back to back meetings after that and another after lunch. Tomorrow will be better, I just need to get through today.
QOTD - I've been influenced absolutely! A posture sport bra that I love it and basically living in it at home because it feels so good on. A hot comb straightener that I used yesterday for the first time. I like it and it got out the curls but did not tame the frizz as well as I'd hoped. Prime bites brownies - I loved them at first, now they are absolute ick.
Accountability - perfect! 43 active minutes, 10,526 steps. Today I am 168.0 and have 30 minutes done on the treadmill.
B- coffee, yogurt
l - chicken and spanish cauli-rice, zero tortilla
d - meat sauce, parm and garlic baguette
s - small apple, cutie, jerky
Have a great day!

Good mornin everyone!
The only thing set in stone is an appointment this morning. We might need to run for a quick grocery trip too. My mom is just not doing real great. Lots of stuff.
I got the report back for my myelogram. Lots of issues but they are in the mild department. A big bone spur complex that is on the interior of the spinal cord canal. Nothing that'd explain my shoulder so I see more testing in my future. It's really been bothering me a lot. It makes everything a little more difficult. My lower back is and I guess will always be a **** show, no one is willing to help me with that. It had me in tears this morning. So now on top of feeling overall ****ty I am feeling puffy faced and ****ty. It's getting old. I did find my controller for my spinal cord stimulator and changed some of the settings like the NP suggested. So far no change. :::shrug:::
QOTD: I am so not in on the latest things. I should try to be more so but I literally always forget to look at things or get recipes. I'm an old fuddydud.
Food is up in the air today. Easy stuff I am sure as I have little energy.
Good Morning and Happy Hump Day!
I am not feeling it today. I really don't feel like going into the office. It looks like a light & easy day but I am still just not in the mood for a commute in the rain.
QOTD: What's something you tried because of an internet trend and loved? I can think of two - first, I saw about a million videos on TikTok of cats getting their heads massaged with these little electronic massagers and the cats looked so happy. I finally got one a few months ago and my cats have never loved me more. Our night time routine got a lot longer and more complicated because they both need a turn but it makes them so happy :) I also got one of those hot brushes that you can plug in and it takes your crazy curly frizzy hair and straightens it with one comb through. It's not quite that easy, but it really does work better than anything else I have owned.
Accountability: Good until my walk through Target led me to some mini Doritos. Funny, though - the call to buy them was stronger than I could resist, but after a handful, I was satisfied and done. They really were not as exciting as my brain told me they would be. I am down another .5lbs. Slow but steady.
- protein coffee
- egg bites
- salami & cheese & cucumber
- meatballs & marinara
I have the Fit*****arge 6 and like it. They sell a pocket clip for it and you can take the watch bands off. They have another (the Inspire, maybe?) that you can also switch out the band for a clip.
