So, mr is working in Minneapolis for the next couple of months. And like, eesh. He took his passport with him (has never once done this), but the gestapo isn't actually looking at evidence of citizenship before they snatch people off the street.

I am just now back to where I can do my strength workouts without being lightheaded, although being sick in November and then my aunt's funeral, starting meds kicked me off my normal 4x a week strength schedule. I use Apple Fitness and for the next month am doing 20 minute workouts and yoga before I go back to my normal 40 minutes.

Ooh that's good to know. I'll try that. A redditor said side effects were easier when they switched from injecting their abdomen to the thigh. Not sure why that would work but I might try that too.

It's been a strange experience, tbh. Down 21 lbs so far, with 10 to go and it's come off way faster than I expected. So many years of trying, tracking, working out and nothing happening has made weight loss feel miraculous. But overall I am loving the fact that I recognize myself in the mirror again.

I will be starting my second month at 5mg this Sunday. I kind of wish I had stayed at 2.5 for longer before stepping up. The second week on 5mg was very difficult with the side effects. I think 2 days went by where it was impossible for me to eat and I know that's not great. Still, I'm super grateful that these drugs exist and it was absolutely the right choice.

Question for the GLP-1 takers: when did you start buying new pants? 90% of my wardrobe is falling off my hips.

I love spending the first full day of post-holiday work trying to remember all the shit that I'm supposed to be doing, only to be derailed by some very high-up person making their existential crisis my problem.

(not too bad, but enough to be annoying to me)
