I have a friend that had a family history of Alzheimer's and she has been doing the brain games for years to help ward it off for herself. Not sure if it will hel*****t but why not try!
Yes, hopefully the new dose for you will jump start more loss. I would consider the summer a big win though since you said you historically gain! And I agree, when you get back to AZ you will have more control of the choices and social situations!

If you can part with your furniture it is so much easier to do that!

Liz I think 8 miles while gaining altitude is very impressive! Only 16 days to your DD's wedding!!! Wow, the time is flying.
Like CC, we are having the best weeks of summer right now. 86 today, low humidity, lovely breeze. I'm loving it.
Today is the same as yesterday. Work is satisfying, everything is very steady right now. I am reminding myself to cherish these days. I love novelty, and adventure and excitement. But there is room in a happy life to string together some no drama days with comforting routine. And I do have a trip on the horizon in one month when we go to Galveston.
So good to hear a small boost in calories is giving you some more energy. Year round kayaking? What a treat!!!
Good luck with the moving planning! We still need to go through and get rid of lots of stuff but are still thinking of having an estate sale and either buying new or buying a home that is already furnished.

Yes!! Would you Willy nilly inject other medications that impact your hormone levels? Insulin? Estrogen? Testosterone?
I hope this dose increase gives you more restriction. Once you are more in charge of your food environment, I think you'll return to a quicker pace of losing. You've done so well this summer, and now you can build on that.
No weight today as the day started at my Mom?s. We are now back in Appleton. Drive there and back was good. Weather is picture perfect.
Today is injection day. First time I saw blood with the poke but it was barely a drop. Still didn?t hurt but burned just a bit after. It has been easy getting in my 1000 calories and I could have eaten more but didn?t feel denied at that level of calories either. Maybe a few belly rumbles at bedtime but I can live with that. At least I feel in the land of the living again and have some energy!
Will do dinner out with grandma and then tomorrow will need to do some meal planning and grocery shopping and start with picking up items on her list. She wants to do some clothes shopping too which is always a pain because she can?t ever decide what she wants and she is ultra picky!
Liz, the bike trip sounds fun but difficult. I cannot do hills! I like the idea of e bikes, especially for the hills. We walk and hike much more than bike but that may change once we move. We?ll take our bikes and then based on use decide if e bikes are in our future. One of the communities we are considering living in has a river with kayaking available.

When Covid showed up in spring of 2020, we were told it was especially dangerous for "elderly". Oh those poor old people I thought. Then I read that the old people they were talking about were 60 years +. I was coming up on 59. Suddenly those poor old people were me!
Stupid azz woman. It's not a recreational weight loss drug. It's a high power drug with pretty intense physical ramifications.
