    Your weekend sounds wonderful. I wouldn't weigh either. And I wouldn't feel bad about the carbs, cake, and ice cream. You're doing great.

All I can do is try to have a decent day in the midst of my mess right now. Looking for a lighter number tomorrow. Taking it day by day. Nearly flunked the eye with the side vision part but found my head was not square on the head pad so it wasn’t me. It was my eyes. So relieved! In regards to this journey of mine, I would love to say that I’m going to have a great week but I really don’t think I’m there yet. So much to focus on right now after this Storm of the Century.

    I am pleased with my weight this week. It is steady, at least. I have upped my protein and cut back on carbs. For breakfast, I had an egg and 2 sausage links. Husband had toast along with these things. So, I'm trying to skip higher glycemic index foods when possible.

    I have upped my walking on the weekends. I am also enjoying some spring cleaning which adds to my step count.

    8 more days until the end of this challenge! I will be starting a new challenge for the next three months. I'll post the link soon. Thanks to everyone for sticking with this challenge! I think it really helps us stay connected, motivated, and determined.

    I will be in on the next thread for sure. This resource helps keep me accountable. Thank you @RubyRed427 for keeping this going.

    My insurance will not cover Wegovy. Shocker. Through my Dr it is 500.00 a month. Through Hers I think is is 1500 for 6 months. You pay upfront. My daughter has lost over 20 lbs in 2 months on it. That is the one I am going to get. My Dr sings the praises of semiglutide. It helps with so many things. Not only weight loss but blood pressure, lowers A1C, lowers stroke risk, addiction, OCD….it's unbelievable. I wish it were affordable to everyone. The insurance companies should realize preventing these problems is A LOT cheaper than trying to fix them.

    Now I just have to let the husband know I am dropping this kind of dough on this……🙃

    Wow. That's so strange it's not covered. Six months would be all you need. Lowers blood pressure, A1C, lowers stroke risk. Those are huge. Drug costs are so bad. It's very frustrating. I'm thinking about the costs of treating strokes, diabetes etc. What a racket. That's all I can say.

    Your husband will be OK with it as soon as he gets over the shock. I've saved a lot on my food bill since going on this diet. I love food. I'm sure I don't need to explain that.

    I think my friend said Medicare covers her Ozempic. I'm glad you're able to get it for $1500. It will be worth it. Good luck.

    And yes, thanks RubyRed427. We need all the help we can get.
