A reminder, I was at 264 at the beginning of December and my shuck and jive speech to get my shit together didn't land well with her.  After a talk with my bestie who is on them convinced me (us) with her experience, I relented and agreed to go on them. After almost 4 months on a 10mg dose (the lowest dose available), I'm at 184.  So, I guess they work.  😂   I will also say this is with zero dietary changes and a pretty scattered workout schedule the past two months.  I hope in time when all of the projects are done and we are finally able to focus on ourselves that I can eventually go off of them with hard work.   I'm pleased with...

  1. I've been cleaning out the office and have two bags of papers to use as kindling in the chiminea. Today I can move on to the other stuff to clear it out. We have a guy coming next week to redo our computer set up so now he'll have nice, clear space. lol The rest of the weekend is the usual house stuff and working. Temps start going up into the mid to upper 80s for the next ten days, which is too soon for me in May. Have a great weekend!
