Petey is coming home today! He's on vetsulin now, and will be starting meds for Cushing's.

I've been thinking about this for a bit...I think because weight loss has been in the news so much because of the newer injection meds.

I don't eat that many calories, when trying to lose weight or not, and I am fairly active (due to exercise, sedentary other than purposeful exercise, though). I am in my early 60's and post-menopausal, so that may be something. I think my day-to-day movement is similar to when I was young (desk jobs with minimal running around, starting at age 23 years). And all those years when I was working, I would exercise in bursts, a few months on, a few months off, with longer off's than on's (meaning, less than now, which is pretty much every day).

Why is it so hard to lose weight now? I have been tested for hypothyroid numerous times as an adult because I have a few of those symptoms, but is has always come back normal (yay), even the few times when they did extra thyroid tests. I get and understand CICO, but I do wonder about the impact of other things, unknown to me (aging?). I guess I'm feeling a little defeated. I just want to lose 10 lbs and it just seems so impossible. I take weeks to lose 3 lbs and they can come back on in an instant. Eating at the lower calorie amounts to lose the weight just leaves me hungry, so I can only sustain it for a month or so, it seems.

Well, off to exercise!

Now that I am on trulicity, I have trouble eating enough. Funny. I still have an appetite, but my stomach is full as the drug slows down the stomach emptying.

The good news is that I am weaning myself off the rapid insulin!

I want popcorn with butter! 🤣

I just can't imagine the problem of not wanting to eat enough. There was, however, 2-3 days of decreased appetite for me with COVID, but nothing of that magnitude.

Tish, send some decluttering vibes over my way! 😆

Pray that I get more energy.

At least I like to read a lot and watch documentaries for the time periods I find it hard to move.

Hugs to u both.

I will hopefully be trashing quite a bit tomorrow. It got cool here again. Can't say I don't enjoy it. 😊

I enjoyed the fur balls today. I need to get them appointments to get their shots and rear tests for a possible boarding for a few nights in June. I really want to see my other sister who can't travel. We haven't seen her since before Covid, about 3 years. Then, our third sister is driving to St Louis to see her mother in law, and then on to visit us! I haven't seen her for about 3-4 years too.

Next week, I get to see my sister in law, who is driving down to scatter her husband's (my brother's) ashes up in the mountains where all our other family members have been scattered.

Sending hugs!

Sending hugs today and everyday Tish. Spring is just around the corner. The sap is rising in my young male pooches who are charging around and having a good time! Daisy, being an older Miss, enjoys sleeping in the afternoon.

Good to hear. Doing your best is all one can do sometimes. 💕
