It helps a little with volume, but I can still finish what is in front of me, though I do have more self-control than before the medication. I can reason with myself that it's okay to stop. I do think being on the meds is better than not being on them, but at this point it's starting to feel like an eye test where you're never quite sure of the right answer: "is one better or two?" um...one? No, maybe two... I'm sure if I went off them completely I would definitely be able to see again that this feels better than without! But maybe I've gotten so used to being on it that I'm forgetting how bad it was before? I have medication privilege!

Full fat works that way for me, too.

Sure sounds like you may need to rent some kids to entertain Kirby ;)

Running all over creation: isn't it amazing how a day can be eaten up like that?

What a mess at work! My last year I also ended up in an environment I wouldn't have put up with if I had a choice but the I don't give a you-know-what attitude and good co-workers made it tolerable. And it made it really easy to leave and not miss it (though I missed the people).

Having been born in Florida (albeit residing only a few years), I feel I own the right to throw a few southern phrases around now and again. My favorite is "Bless your heart " which can mean any cotton picking thing you want it to.

Love the idea of unlimited car wash subscription. Years ago I nearly rusted through my gas tank when I spent a week on South Padre. ( yes, some months later...drip, drip, drip) Who knew that the salty beach sand got stuck up on the undercarriage? Not this girl!

Sounds like you hate to pay for a plumber to visit for lots of money to replace a low price item as much as I do!

Weight back down! Whew! I'm suspecting I'll hit 10 lbs lost soon. Yay!

Worked in the church's garden this morning and brought the haul to the food pantry. Tonight is couples Bible study.

Im feeling nappy, so think I will lay down for an hour. The retired life! I did take a walk yesterday and it felt good. I'm working on editing photos from the Botanical Gardens and need to start implementing some Search Engine Optimization ideas for my Etsy site.

Interesting how everyone responds differently to the GLP 1 meds. Sorry you are not getting as much help from them as you would like CC! My 5mg came in the mail today but it isn't shot day until Sunday. I'll see if I can squeeze another dose or so out of my first bottle!

Peps, glad the new dose is working for you again and Yay on new clothes. I just ordered a new summer dress in a medium and hope to be able to wear it by the end of summer! First time giving in to the Tik Tok made me buy it trend!



5' 4" tall, HW: 242, SW:215.4 Weight Loss - pre-op: - 26.6, M1: -15.4, M2: -16, M3: -11.4, M4: -11.2, M5: -12.2, M6: -7.4, M7: -7.8, M8: -2.0 Goal of 130 lbs. reached at 8 months, 2 days post-op!

For what it's worth, I find that when I am focusing on protein, especially when its coming from low-fat dairy and protein shakes, I end up lowering dietary fat, and I'm less satisfied and want to eat more. Upping fat a bit holds me longer.

Yes, he'll figure it out on his own. Or maybe it will never be his thing. There are worse things than a big dog who doesn't get all wet!
