Pre-Tagigo - 21 days to go

In just 21 more days I will be 55 years old. And I keep telling myself that it is "not too late". Not too late to stop drinking, stop eating unhealthy foods and lose this massive weight. Every year I make the same goals, promises and plans. But I am not going to give up. Tagigo means "dawn" in esperanto. I am going to wake up!

Mission
Cultivate a vibrant life through prioritizing health and wellness, while fostering financial responsibility.

Tagigo Main Goals
1. Create and establish new, healthier habits.
2. Explore business and career ideas
3. Be mindful of financial impacts of earning, spending, saving and investing
4. Maintain strong family bonds and friendships

This year - Tagigo 2025 I plan to:

(1) Stop drinking alcohol altogether
(2) meditate daily
(3) pray daily
(4) stretch daily
(5) get in 4-5 hours or more of Pickleball per week
(6) get in 2-3 hours of strength training per week
(7) Lose 60 pounds in one year. In other words "get to One-derland".

    Pre-Tagigo - 19 days to go

    I decided to add reading to my already long list of changes I want to make. Reading Daily and reading a minimum of 12 books a year (one a month)!

    Pre-Tagigo - 17 days to go

    I had a terrible day yesterday -- too many cocktails and too much pasta.

    But today ---

    Meditated 5 minutes
    Prepared my lunch
    Healthy breakfast of eggs and avocado
    Prayed
    Journaled
    Stretched

    So far so good. Now I need to do the work and make sure I exercise today.

    December 5 - Pre Tagigo - 14 days to go

    I was terrible yesterday. I had a bunch of cheetos in the car after I went to the grocery store. Then went home and had a whole box of mac and cheese. It is so annoying to have a fall like that (especially after tracking and trying so hard for several weeks). I have to admit that although I do not see the weight coming off when I stand on the scales I do feel different. Eating better and staying away form alcohol gives me a sense of control that makes me feel better about myself even if the weight is not coming off. Today I weighed in at 252.5 which is not bad. I want to be down to 250 or less (113 kg) by Dec 19 when I go to see my nutritionist.

    I also need to get my Daily List under control because by Dec 20 I want to be doing my Daily List religiously and without fail until it becomes an absolute habit.

    And last but not least --- I need to join a gym and start some strength training.

    December 6 - Pre Tagigo - 13 days to go

    Cocktails, cocktails, cocktails. My downfall. It ruins my sleep, ruins my health and makes me say weird stuff on the phone (!) I am absolutely committed to putting a stop to the cocktails before my birthday.

    December 9 - Pre Tagigo - 10 days to go

    Had a great pickleball tournament and I managed to stay away form alcohol which is a huge accomplishment for me. Over the next few weeks I have SO many things planned for my pre-birthday preparations and festvities -

    Dec 11 - emsella chair for pelvic floor strength
    Dec 11 - semi glutide consultation and possible prescription and injection (!)
    Dec 12 - microneedling session
    Dec 12 - eye exam
    Dec 10 and 12 - hypnotherapy sessions
    Dec 17 - mole and skin tag removals
    Dec 18 - hair color
    Dec 19 - mani/pedi, brow and lash tint, cut and blowdry
    Dec 19 - corporate headshot photo session
    Dec 20 - birthday

    On Dec 19 I plan to have my last cocktail. On Dec 20 I will have some cake, celebrate my birthday and get started on a one year plan to improve my health, lose weight, save money, cultivate friendships and stay/get close with my family. It's a big plan but as I get older I think it is important -- SO important.

    December 18 - Pre Tagigo - 2 days to go

    I am actually starting to panic a little bit. I have a friend who JUST had her birthday yesterday and I always thought she was older than I am (or at least the same age) and yesterday I found out she is 3 years younger than I am. In my mind I am SO young but in reality I am pretty old. It is kind of stressing me out and I need to stop thinking about it (or at least change my way of thinking).

    I have only lost 1kg since getting semiglutide. I took my second injection this morning.

    December 20 - Tagigo - DAY ONE

    I had a great day yesterday. I got all the things I planned on doing. My hair was great, my makeup stellar and the photographer was great but I am still fat, frumpy , old and ugly. Sorry to say it that way but... yeah... it sucks getting old. There is no way to stop it.

    I am committed (super committed) to getting this weight off. My goal of dropping 53 pounds between now and May 10 is do-able but very very challenging. I would -- literally have to lose a little more than 2.5 pounds per week. But it has to happen. My primary goal is to lose the 53 pounds by May 10 (before I leave for America). But my absolute MUST is to lose it by Dec 20, 2025.

    This is the beginning. TAGIGO 1 - Day One.

    I went to the doctor's office and my stats for today are:

    Weight 114.8 kg (252.5 lbs)
    BP 139/77
    Sugar 5.6

    December 21 - Tagigo - DAY TWO

    I slept deeply last night - more than 8 hours! So deeply that I was almost late for morning Pickleball. I got there 10 minutes late and had a great time despite the heat and humidity.
