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 thoughtContinue reading “Wegovy Week 5”

We had no idea what to expect at the Nashville Hands Off protest. No one we knew was planning on attending or had even heard about it so we were prepared to be disappointed. We hoped to be there 30 minutes early because there is not a lot of parking at or near Centennial Park.Continue reading “Our Hands Off experience in Nashville”

It was supposed to be a cloudy, rainy afternoon. I thought about putting sunscreen on before I left but then got distracted. The sun broke through for about 30 minutes. I guess I should have put sunscreen on. It doesn’t hurt. It may peel in a few days and it will be gone. It isContinue reading “I am a Redneck”

Craig has tons of experience making protest signs from his Postal Service union days. He spent several hours yesterday designing our signs for the Hands Off Protest in Nashville tomorrow. Hopefully rain will not deter participation. I bought 20 rain ponchos and will take extras to hand out. Craig and one of his signs endedContinue reading “Hands Off”

I opened my Health at Vanderbilt this morning to make sure I had any upcoming appointments on my calendar and this popped up. I have an upcoming visit at the Emergency Department today. I of course wondered if the Universe knows something that I do not. I called Vanderbilt IT and shared this image withContinue reading “Oddity of the Day”

My weight after returning to TN was essentially like my week 2 weight on the same scales. I guess all digital scales are not alike. I lost 5# in a month. I started on double the dose for the second month. Thus far I have not noticed much difference in terms of side-effects. I don’tContinue reading “Wegovy Week 4”

Craig was driving from Kingman AZ to Prescott AZ with Dan following a visit with Bill when he got the notification of my interest from Match on June 26, 2023. He was looking at my profile (obviously distracted and absorbed) when Dan asked him what he was reading. Craig said he got a “new interest”Continue reading “Arizona Craig”

We left Phoenix airport at 415 PM PT landed in Indianapolis at 1030 PM ET. We got to our car with luggage about midnight and drove the 4 hours to Springfield, TN arriving at 3 AM CT. Craig drove first 2 hours and I took the second 2 hour shift. We did not unpack theContinue reading “Mission Accomplished”

We turned the truck and trailer in this morning in Camp Verde. We were very happy to no longer have responsibility for this rig. This is the small amount of space for feet on the passenger side. My legs ached a lot the first night but surprisingly they seemed to get used to it. FromContinue reading “The end is near….”

This was a very different week with spurts of activity but a LOT of sitting so I had no idea what to expect when I weighed in yesterday morning. I managed my snacking in the truck pretty well and my hunger does seem to have diminished. I lost 5 pounds this week which really surprisedContinue reading “Week 3 of Wegovy”
