A1C 5.8! Down 3 pounds this week (total -44) | Getting Healthy | Mounjaro Journey | Episode 17
#mounjaro #t2d #over60 #weightlossjourney
Great labs this week - waiting to talk to doctor but 5mg seems to still be working for me even after 7 months or 28 weeks. After a few weeks of sluggish results it was great to hear that my A1c has dropped down even more - started at an A1C of 10. Weight loss of 3 lbs and I did some walking in Target etc without back pain!

#mounjaro #60plus #weightlossjourney #t2d I get my blood work this week and will talk to my dr to see if it's time to move up. I have had 3 weeks in a row now with either minimal loss or none at all. Although this weeks shot (I took yesterday) seems to be kicking my butt more than the ones before. Same spot (I always take the shot on either side of my tummy)

    Yes, please increase your caloric intake. Your body might be going into “starvation mode“. Maybe, adding some healthy fats, such as avocado, and or nuts, will help if your suppression is too high to accommodate more food. Don’t be so hard on yourself. You can do this! 💐 Can’t wait to see your A1c results. I’ll bet they are lower than they were in May.

    I like the whole complete outfit you wore with the red jacket, the blue top, and the rose skirt. I think a mauve or black top would look nice with it. The Aztec sweater is pretty too, but it looked misshaped in the front.

    • @snowbetterlifestyle
      @snowbetterlifestyle 8 днів тому

      Thank you for watching and commenting :) The clothes were pretty pricey from Wantable so I may look for something similar at Old Navy or Walmart :) I did like the red jacket, tan shirt (it was so soft) - love the idea of a mauve or black top with the skirt. The white shirt from old navy (that was way too small is going back) - my only concern with the skirt (though stunning) was it makes me look so round :D but maybe a different shirt tucked in with a belt and jacket would be a good way to make me look less round - I do have a waist even with the large belly and it's hidden with my usual choices. I appreciate your input. Hoping to do another haul in October and I'll consider what I learned here.

      thank you Jill :) It's so different once your nest empties completely and the daily interactions are down to zoom calls for work and messaging with my adult children. Evenings are the toughest and most solitary and that's why the puzzling settles me . So easy to get up inside our own heads and start questioning our choices - my current hobbies are all so sedentary (video games, crochet, puzzles BUT they do help redirect from all the other stuff that used to crowd the brain - like what am I eating next :)) I appreciate your last video talking about "it's ok to be hungry" that it's normal. I have so much more growing to do. I am really looking forward to getting back into theater/singing again but first.. getting to the point where I'm comfortable going to the theater to watch :D

Nothing good ever comes from comparison, but we fall into that trap quite often. ☺️ As for the person you talked about, some people lose a lot faster but they’re also losing muscle. If your weight loss is slow, you’ll lose less muscle which of course will help keep your metabolism is tack. You’re doing great!! New subscriber! 🤗💕💕
