Daily fluctuations are why I can't weigh daily in weight loss mode. They just get me down too much.

Interesting! Because I feel like if I don't weigh daily, my weekly weigh-ins might be on unusually high scale days and I might miss what I really weigh and be depressed for a week unnecessarily! Funny how our brains frame the same events differently.

Greetings all

Greetings all

Last message was sort of a test. My whole post turned deep blue and I thought OH was about to mess it up.

Speaking of blue, it's a total blue bird day here! Sunny and crisp. DH is out to lunch at the Marina today. Great day to go there as it's on a little island in the bay and surrounded by ships and bay views. He will likely bring home fish and chips.

Pot roast last night and more tonight. Turned out great. But Tesla would not touch it. Maybe it was because I put red wine in the slow cooker but I don't think Tesla is a tea totaled. Poppy ate it gleefully. Last night I felt what seemed like a small mass on Tesla's shoulder. Will check again today. If I still feel it I will take her in.

Thanks Peps for posting the shot video on FB. Looks easy. All of you using these meds seem to be doing very well. Inspiring. Thank you all for sharing these experiences.

So I pulled the trigger and called the junk removal service. They will come Wednesday. Preparing for arguments with DH but it's going to happen. Our nephew wants to come visit later this month so the clean out must happen as there is junk in the guest room. Garage junk goes to dump and guest room junk can go to garage. They will take yard waste, general junk and E waste.

The dogs are back to their favorite thing of basking in the sun on the deck.

Still no hatch on the big bear eagles. Getting worried. I did find an eagle cam with two new chicks. Bluff City Eagle Cam in Tennessee.

Liz sorry shoulder is acting up again. It is telling you that you are correct to get on with the surgery. Hope your knees cooperate through the process.

CC sorry Kirby had another poo night. Crate indeed. Poppy was in a crate until 6 months old. I bet he is picking up stuff on walks since he grabs everything. Hope this phase passes soon. He is so cute.

Peps what a gift to be free or distanced from the Sugar Sirens! We all know that weight loss is not linear but I am wondering why. A cup or two of water can be easly stored in a 150+ pound body. Maybe thats it.

Ordered a grooming table from Chewy. I had one but I gave it back to Bat Girl's owner who had given it to me in the first place. Used to think I did not need it but getting on the floor to brush dog is now problematic.

I am still doing my treadmill every day. It's not much but it does make a difference. I feel less crappy and have a bit better balance.

Cheers all Diane S

News stories that semaglutide in pill form has gone successfully through it's first trial. Results from the first trial indicate it is more effective in pill form than injection. It's a brave new world. Once a pill option is available, it could mean easier production, so less shortages, and maybe less expensive. Here's hoping.

Liz, understand your worries about DD. To become a parent is to decide to have your heart walking around outside of your body forever. Hope all is okay soon. And maybe we should all embrace celebrating 1/2 birthdays! The first year DH and I were married, we celebrated our anniversary every month.

I have not seen my DD since Christmas, and there are no visits planned until July. Too long. And I last saw DS the end of January. I told DH I want to go to Boston Memorial Day if he can find good fares. Maybe DS would join us.

Remember when I said we received a rather insulting tentative agreement from our district? Last night they tallied the votes and it was rejected by 98% of teachers. Hopefully this helps the district negotiation team and school board understand that we aren't fooling around: do better! A strike vote requires 67%. Looks like we could meet that threshold, but sure hope we don't have to.

Wegovy is strong today. Not much food, but still no weight loss this week. It will happen eventually.

The compounding sites are offering semaglutide in pill form now at a slightly lower cost (probably because needles aren't required). Hmmm...
