Sea of Opportunities

 Requested my second refill after last weeks shot, and I'm glad I did do it early (the Doctor had instructed me to do it after my second shot, even though the website says after your third shot, so delays in shipping maybe?)   Either way - gave myself the third shot today - in upper right thigh - so going back and forth between my thighs.   May try the next one out on my arm though - I have so much just loose skin hanging from my arms - probably won't even feel it.   I do realize that I can utilize my pouch - aka my extra belly, baby fat, whatever you call it - it's that second belly that you may never get rid of without surgery.   But, I've also read a lot of people use that area when they stall, so saving that.   Still no side affects at all, just less food noise.   It really is amazing.   I also have been way more focused on getting my water in - and even going through the holidays with all the baked goods, an...

 Well - a successful week one - down 2 pounds, and since it is the week before Christmas - there were a couple of cookies and chocolates that made it into my diet that weren't accounted for in my Macros.   I always count my protein - at least until I get close to where I want to be (140 g).   The last 2 weeks my protein average was 128 g per day, so pleased with that.   Took my second shot today.   Did the left thigh since last week I did the right.   I tried the "pinching" method where you pinch the area where you inject - well at my weight, I really don't need to do that, and by doing it I felt more pressure when injecting the meds - so won't do it that way again.   I know the stomach is another area that can be used, as well as the back of the flabby wings.  I won't do the stomach until I stall, because I've read where it's re-started weight loss again without increasing the dose, and since I'd like to stay on as l...

Day 3 - and honestly - I don't feel anything different.   Of course it probably has to built up a bit in the system - so I think instead of a daily boring update, I'll update at least weekly - but maybe not daily. On another note - aren't these the cutest stickers?  I have a huge wall calendar that shows a year at a shot - so I keep track of my workouts this way.   After I got the Peloton - I had to get a few more sheets with a biker  LOL.    Found on Etsy - Knockoutprintshop - and no I'm not affiliated, but have used them for my sticker purchases for years without issues.    

Early Christmas Present to myself.  I lost my first 100+ pounds rowing - and lifting and boxing, until "the shoulder" so needed to find something that wasn't so shoulder intensive.   While I still love my Concept 2 and still use it often, I can't do the volume that I wanted, so welcome to the family Mr. Peloton.   Only have taken one ride.   Adam drove overnight from college to be home, so I've spent every minute with him since.   Will get back on a regular exercise schedule quickly - but family is #1. Mochi day 2.   Feel fine.   Have definitely been focused on getting lots of water in - because I've heard that's the best preventive method of all the unfortunate side effects that might occur with these weight loss meds.   No side effects yet - but it did help me make a great decision last night.  Nadia (dd #3) came home for dinner and brought me a single slice of vanilla birthday cake (my favorite).  ...

 It's been a long, long time since I promoted something that I would make money off of.   Sure - I always promote Plan To Eat on Black Fridays - because it's an app I have used for 10+ years.   I don't get anything from it if you do - but to be perfectly clear - if you sign up for Mochi and use my referral code - you will get $40 off AND I will get $40 off.   Just wanted to be clear about that part. Give $40, get $40 using code  G91XKF That's my code - use it if you'd like.   Personally, I wish I would have gone on a random FB group just to save myself $40 and used someone else's code, but I didn't know about it then.    Anyway - I'm going to take you on my Mochi journey - in case you wondered what it was really like.   I've lost weight before.   I started this journey 5-6 years ago at a whopping 360 pounds.   Yep, I let myself get that large.   I overate, and didn't move.   Pre...
