Yep. He is presently not owned by anyone, totally in limbo. His "parent command" is Coronado but he's living in Balboa so for a couple days he was "phone mustering" but they were like, we'll just give you back to the hospital people. Hospital is like you don't have to do anything for us here. Besides going to appointments,…

Lisa, So glad Skyrizi is working for you! Youngest son is done with his hospital infusions and now has the injection pens that he will start in 4 weeks. He said he still has meals and afterwards he's like, well never eating that again, let me go die in the bathroom. So its still trial and error with what he eats. Now my…

Machka, I guess its not all about the amount of exercise, but also about the way it changes how food gets processed. How glycogen gets triggered, and how our brain responds to that. Its a whole thing.🙃. Once I get to a weight that feels right, I will go on more of a maintenance dose not ever week, but ever 2 weeks. I have…

Welp, we bought a car today! This Thursday we pick it up. We have yet to see her. Here's her photo. I will miss our Chevy Spark but we've had fun! She was only worth a $1000 trade in value! She's a 2012, a basic model, so there's that! II had 3 prunes at 6:00 am along with coffee. Its now 5:30 pm and I am just getting…

Eli being his sweet self!🤗💖 💖 Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Well I'm up a lb, but I believe that to be from the soup I fixed yesterday, also I seem to get a hiccup in weight right before I lose. At least I told me all those things as I stood on the scale this morning.🤗💖. I went to the gym with husband and walked 1.58 miles, my heart rate increased to 145 over the course of…

Yep the keto bread I eat is made by Healthy Life and is a 5 seed bread. Its small slices so just enough to hold my sandwich ingredients. Its also fluffy. I keep it in the freezer so it will last longer.👍🏼💖 Stay cool! (its only 70's here, it won't get any warmer). Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Lanette, GGP doc didn't really give me any eating plan, but part of the process to get med was to see a dietician. I had logged a weeks worth of eating on here, printed them out and she was very impressed. The main issue with many on this med is not eating enough, and not getting enough protein. So my goal is set at 1300…

Rori, Hey friend! My sandwiches were legendary before I started zepbound! Artisan bread, toasted with havarti cheese, tomatoes, sprouts, relish, turkey, maybe even some pickled asparagus spears. They were monstrous! I was "queen of sandwiches"! Your sandwich sounded epic too. And your sunny afternoon! Hugs to Mars! Rebecca…

Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD, I used to really enjoy the point of a fast when you're 18+ hours in and you feel a bit euphoric, keen sensed, and in autophagy. That's the only part of fasting I miss. I envisioned my body cleaning house, getting rid of stuff it didn't need, and using for fuel, kind of like a…

I will look for these! I shop at our commissary which is a military grocery store, so you kind of get what you get most of the time, but we do have Safeway, and Wal-Mart too. I like ones that aren't a huge bottle and Atkins are mostly 11 oz cartons. Lol lurker thanks! Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Annie in Delaware libraries can be so quiet, and you never find what you're looking for! I just soon find one on the library app and put the book in my browser, or on Kindle. Then I can read when I am walking on the treadmill. I am realizing I don't have to best the best at this, just try my best. So today eating that darn…

For Athena I made her get all her cutie undies (They had practiced but never really made the leap), and we put the undies on all over her stuffed animals and bears. Then we played and occasionally I would say, "I think bear needs to use the potty". So we would both take bear in, and take off his undies and one of us would…

This upped dosage is serious business! Flu like symptoms yesterday, achiness. Its a familiar feeling. Just toughing it out. Today was a sandwich and could only manage half. Who can't eat a frillin sandwich, me I guess. Its a weird feeling. Dinner is 2 oz steak and some shrimp with raw veggies. Then an 11 oz protein shake.…

I do that with my protein pasta,then just jam the snack bag sized ziplocks back in the box. These veggie straws are 40 pieces a serving which seems like a lot to me so I eat half. I am like you on appt. days. I need to adjust my thinking and "get my head in the game" so to speak. This next week is a hair appt and a teeth…

I am waiting until my pants pretty much no longer stay up well, then I will buy more 1X's (which state they're 18's). I am sloughing around in my 2X's but if I have to visit with the rest of the world I do have 1 pair of a 1X🙃😁. I plan on being out of the 1X's by Christmas. My goal anyways.🙏 Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Today I bought some veggie straws, and though I could have 20 (1/2 of a serving) I think I had 40! Deciding those are pretty dangerous to buy! Way too snacky! I will plan out 40 mid week. Today was a great sandwich with my keto bread, turkey, slice of tomato, relish, cheese, and clover sprouts. Thoroughly enjoyed it!…

Lisa, yes! My tee shirts don't pull as much and even my undies feel more comfortable. My pants are really droopy butted, but the next size seems to constricting. So on times when I do wear the smaller ones, its not for a long time, not a whole day! Getting my medication yesterday seemed surreal, as I got 3 boxes. Looking…

Todays food diary: Good day for protein and liquids! My healthy Life keto 5 seed bread was really good! Had a substantial turkey sandwich and red bell peppers and dip. Full until my kielbasa 2 oz hunk (they're pre cut in the freezer) with some brown rice and quinoa. Then an 11 oz protein drink and a Magic Spoon bar. 👍🏼💖…

Good morning ladies! This afternoon I pick up new prescription. I'm kinda excited for that. This morning heading to the gym to walk for a while. I do a little over a mile and will eventually lift weights, just taking baby steps. I need to see what this new dosage does and I don't want to be sore. Down another lb. Heading…

How nice of you to have a nice outing! I was like that yesterday with husband. Its a nice drive from Oak Harbor to Anacortes, which is technically the next island to ours. It was a bright blue day, and we went to a fish/burgers/pizza place we'd never been to. My appetizer of 5 Baja seasoning dusted shrimp cocktail with a…

Awe, I'm sure you sound fine! I sound like I am 12, though I do try to lower my tone so I can at least be taken seriously in this world! I will send you an audio howdeedo on Messenger.🤗😁💖👍🏼 Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Zepbound has an intro dose of 2.5 then most gradually go up throughout the journey. At some point I will be in maintenance and only take the dose every two weeks. I think your body adapts to it, but like my doctor said since I lost weight on the beginning dose, I should tolerate the 5 mg dose just fine. I don't want to go…

 Barbie in NW WA, I picture us ladies all on a big porch somewheres, just sipping our respective morning libations, catching up with our going-ons.💖🤗 I never got to Okinawa but I heard great things about it. Totally different mindset then of lets say a Japanese person from Tokyo. Okinawa is a blue zone, having some of the…

My son being goofy chatting. He seems in fair spirits.🤗💖⚓👍🏼 Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Carol, yep they are all very independent, the Navy helped them in that area. I think my son does what his wife wishes to do most weekends. And though he seemed excited to have come down to my sisters bday, it was wifes call on if they went or not. Or maybe Athena had a party to go to, or Eli was sick, I was never told the…

Lisa, MmmMmm, lasagna! Funny story. Many years ago with each layer husband had taught me to pat down each layer with a spatula. So I was doing that, each layer, then cheese, (no ricotta because husband hates it), then sauce, and when I got done to the top I was so proud. Baked it and sliced him up a piece. I had squished…

Yes, though I do send birthday cards, boxes of treats, and she thanks me, it goes no further. She has always been kind of shy. Her Mom and I are friends on FB and chat periodically about our kids. We are about the same age. She is divorced. Rebecca Whidbey Wa

I am such an OCD person. This morning figuring out my food for the day. I bought a flat of red grapefruit in small 7 oz containers, so factoring those in. Figured out if I am having both protein pasta, and taco meat for lunch, then I have too many carbs for my day. So I finally put back my grapefruit, to allow for that.…

Michele, Oooh a cruise, how fun for you! I'd be crying too!💖🤗. Congrats! Rebecca Whidbey Wa
