Sleepy Update
I had big plans for an in-depth post tonight. But as the hours ticked by, exhaustion crept in, and here we are—a shorter post than I’d hoped for, written while I fight to keep my eyes open. My apologies, friends. Still, I want to share something exciting: today, I took a big step toward a Continue reading

Another Tuesday Tally
Quick update! Two more pounds down! I’m super excited! My doctor decided to keep me on the same 5mg dosage, which I’m cool with. We’ve officially decked the halls—our Christmas decorations are up, and it feels so festive! Dais is absolutely smitten with the tree; every morning, she gets up and gives it the sweetest Continue reading

A Tired Tuesday Tally
I’ve officially hit the 22-pound mark, keeping up with my goal of losing at least 2 pounds per week! Honestly, I wasn’t sure I’d make it this week. Tracking my food has been a struggle, and my protein intake has been lower than it should be—mainly because I’ve been avoiding the grocery store. I mean, Continue reading

Busy Bee Weekend
This Weekend Was… A Lot. Thursday started with a follow-up Doctor’s appointment for my Zepbound prescription. My doctor seemed genuinely shocked when she found that I’m down 20 pounds in just seven weeks. She acted concerned while I was thrilled. It left me thinking, what’s “normal” here? Did I lose too much or is this Continue reading

Quick Tuesday Tally
I had high hopes of shedding 20 pounds this week, but a visit to my mom’s put a little detour in my plans. While I stayed active—lots of moving around, errands, and good old-fashioned family chaos—I didn’t get to squeeze in my usual exercise routine. Still, I managed to hit my weekly goal and dropped Continue reading

Tuesday Tally on the Farm
The week took a nosedive straight into the weekend. By Saturday, I was sick, and I desperately wanted to call out of work. Unfortunately, I’d swapped a shift and calling out would have meant losing my precious Sunday off—essential for a visit to my mom’s. Now, it’s Tuesday, and despite last week’s chaos, this trip Continue reading

Tuesday Tally (On a Wednesday)
Well, these past few days have been something else. Saturday night was a marathon: a 13-hour shift thanks to the time change. Grueling doesn’t even cover it. But at least I got some sleep afterward since my husband was home to handle things. Then Monday hit, and my toddler’s sleep schedule was completely off. Usually, I Continue reading

Birds and Squirrels
I’m thrilled—my squirrel and blue jay friends are back! I thought they might have moved on since I hadn’t seen them in a few days, but today they were all at “Blue Jay Corner” again! It turns out the jays have claimed the early morning hours to themselves, while my squirrel buddy shows up in Continue reading

Tuesday Talley and Complete Exhaustion
Had my follow-up appointment with my doctor today, and I’m happy to share that she’s genuinely pleased with my progress! My prescription’s been upped, which I’m taking as a good sign of things moving in the right direction. I’m officially down 10.2 pounds, and I’m feeling pretty good about it! But let me tell you, Continue reading

Over Here, Trying to Whistle While I Work
The third dose of Zepbound really kicked me in the ass. Maybe part of it was that I spent the afternoon in the sun, holding my heavy toddler and yelling at a train—who knows. Wednesday’s headache rolled right into Thursday, and it was a bad one. Thankfully, Excedrin Migraine rescued me from my misery. It Continue reading
