Sea of Opportunities

  Missed a week blogging!!!   Sigh Still on Mochi -- Tirzepatide + Niacinamide with a dosage of  4.4 mg + 1.0 mg / 0.5ml Just ordered my third refill - my eighth shot is due Feb 1-2 and I've been super happy with my results so far.  What I am trying this week - splitting my .5ml shot in half - so Saturday I took 30 ml, and maybe today or tomorrow I'll take the other 20 ml, give or take.   I'm hoping that this calms down those little voices that start whispering on Thursdays/Fridays.   Nothing like the constant food noise that I used to deal with though!  Side effects - I haven't had any.   I did have a couple days of acid heart burn, but if you saw how much coffee I drink - it's understandable.   Plus I don't have a gallbladder - it was given to some chickens in Egypt - long story :)  Weight loss so far - I started my Mochi journey December 16, 2024 at 275.8 pounds, and I weighed in this morning at 262.2 .... so ...

 First day at a new dose.   Mochi starts all new patients at 2.2 mg weekly of their compounded Tirzepatide.   "  Tirzepatide is the newest form of weight loss medication. It was recently approved for Type 2 diabetes, and works through both the GLP-1 receptor and GIP receptors." Looking back, I lost 6 pounds the first month at the 2.2 dose, so excited to see what the 4.4 mg dose that I'm on this month will do.   Very little side effects at that low dose - actually none except I could tell that my digestion was slowed down.  I asked for an increased dose though because if I took my first injection on a Monday - by Friday I could feel the effects lessening.    I have read some groups feedback so I do have questions the next time I meet with my doctor at Mochi -  posting them here so I can go back and answer them (and remember the questions when I do have my appointment next month) 1.  I have been taking Lansoprazole since I'v...

 I'm a big coffee drinker - or at least I was.   Now, I limit myself to 2 large cups early in the mornings, or else I won't be sleeping until well after midnight.   In winter, when you really want something hot to warm you up - and it's too late for another cup of coffee - it's either tea, or hot chocolate.   Sometimes I make Mullein tea, and I'll throw in some elderberries while it's steeping - a hot drink that's good for you, but sometimes, you need hot chocolate and marshmellows.    I've bought my hot chocolate at Nuts.com for a while now - love it, mixes well, and it comes in both milk and dark chocolate.   They also have mini marshmallows - so I added them to my order - never tried them before so I'll report back on how good they are !!   If you want $20 off and free shipping -  CLICK HERE FOR NUTS.COM

 Weighed in January 1st - 271 That's 89 pounds down from my starting weight 4 years ago, and 5 pounds since starting with Mochi.   5 Pounds in 3 weeks after tracking my Macros pretty faithfully for a year without the scale moving.   Now the original 130 pounds I had lost tracking Macros AND exercising - well, I haven't really added back in the EXERCISING part yet, but my son is home from college for just one more week, and even though I KNOW I should be making time for myself, it's hard.    I did pick up this cute Sponge Bob bank while thrift shopping the other day - $5 !!  My goal is to stick $25 for every pound I lose this year.   So he already has $50 in him, and I'm only .4 lbs away from owing another $25.   Not sure how far I can go in one year - but it'd be nice to see a cool $2500 at the end of the year to celebrate with!!   I also took out these envelopes.   I made them up with I was working out regu...
