A week after I started the second dose of Wegovy (.5mg) I lost an additional .5 pounds (a half pound). A very slow start indeed. It is a bit embarrassing to admit that until just this minute I had not actually looked up what the dosing schedule is. From what my doctor said, I thought it was just 2 doses. But there are actually 5 different doses – .25, .5, 1, 1.7 and 2.4mg. I am sure she assumed I would be reading up on it myself. I have a tendency to not want to be over informed at the beginning because I understand everyone’s experience is different and I want to see what MY experience is a before I read too much.
My interest in food has lessoned. I am eating about 1/2 to 2/3 what I used to which makes the lack of weight loss hard to understand. I feel like I might be losing some fat by the way my body feels. This week I did notice some signs of constipation which for my system is a good thing and a key motivating factor for starting this program to begin with.
I had a very low energy week last week which Craig is concerned is bordering on depression and may be related to the Wegovy but I am pretty clear that I was being lazy – recovering from the AZ trip. In addition, the horrible weather made it easy. I did get my CV updated for my “baby” consulting gig and my tax documents sent off so there was some indoor productivity.
We got at least 5 inches of rain over the 4 days of rain and had the opportunity to study the flow of water draining across the property to assist in our plans for our landscaping efforts. All of the work we have done thus far has helped. Our driveway remains drivable with much of the gravel down at the bottom making it recoverable to help build it back up again. We are going to be building Dead Hedges https://tpsreports.farm/blog/on-dead-hedges-drainage-and-erosion-control to help slow down the flow of water in key areas. This is a structured way of using the sticks I am already picking up and am no longer burning.
So excited to get started on these.
