Thank you for the link!

Thank you, CC! I am skimming that article, and it is one heck of a roundup about so many anti-inflammatory benefits delivered by these drugs for scores of ailments caused or contributed to by our current-day processed foods and lifestyles.

The more I learn about these drugs the more I wish I could live another 100 years just to see how the medical/pharmaceutical industries are going to change. I also think that a huge contributor to those future changes will be the need to reduce society's health care costs.

When it really kicks in you will forget the word starving (hungry yes but not starving). It basically doesn't exist when the medication is at a good level.

Looking forward to this!

Liz, Welcome home!

Miss Bonnie, good for you on all that cleaning!!!!!

DD, 64 degrees sounds delightful to me today! LOL.... It's all in one's perspective, isn't it?

CC, glad your little rascal is keeping you and the trainer on your toes. So, so glad you got those hideous fandeliers out of your life!

Diane S, YOU COOKED! I'm impressed.

Paula, sending you all kinds of love and strength. No one should have to navigate what you are trying to manage right now.

Lizanne... Gaining 5 pounds? I hate you!

I got home from Disneyland yesterday at about 9:30 am. Thank you travel gods for allowing me to see there was an earlier flight to our airport! I asked if there was room and there was plenty. We got the seats and got home about an hour and a half earlier than planned, so I got on the road to Oregon about an hour before planned! I drove for 10 hours and arrived just as the last of the light was leaving the sky (about 9:30 PM).

Up early and off to the dog show. Molly did well. And we have some very pretty ribbons. She got an Owner Handled Terrier Group 1 at an All Terrier Show. So that's basically like a Best in Show, right? LOL! We are both tired and are ready to hit the pillow and sleep hard.

I feel like I have been absent this week because of travel. I have not weighed since Monday, so no clue how the Disney trip influenced my weight. I doubt much. I was not terribly hungry while there, and when I did eat, I became "full" very quickly.

Note to self: DO NOT INJECT TIRZEPATIDE WHEN COLD - EVEN WHEN IN A HURRY!!!! It did not burn going in. Didn't even sting. However, within 30 minutes the general location of the injection site "burned"/"stung" for a couple of hours. I am blaming Paula because that has never happened, but since it happened to her, it has now happened to me! The power of suggestion? The med was refrigerator cold? Or perhaps, I sleep through it because I normally take the injection right before bed on Thursday nights???? Who knows. I hope it was an isolated incident.

I am feeling pretty good about my weight loss so far. My mobility is vastly improved and my recovery from all the walking at Disneyland was fast. A night's sleep and the soreness of the evening before was a mere memory. Also, I can once again tie my shoes with absolutely no discomfort. That was a stated goal! Whoo hooo!!!!!!

Off to bed for me... More shows tomorrow and Sunday and then a looooooonnnnnggggg drive home Sunday after showing.

I just have to say you are crazy for doing that long drive after flying home. You sure have a lot more energy than I do. What a difference 6 years makes!

But I am not surprised about your increase in mobility, etc. after seeing those pictures of you in Disney. You look very fit!
