Non-scale victory today: me and my roommate are doing a deep clean of the house and I’ve been on my feet for 2 hours and I have no back pain! That is crazy!!!!

My goals at the gym:

- Grip strength
- Progressive overload
- Maintain muscles as I lose weight on Zepbound
- Balance
- Core strength
- Building up my leg strength to be able to do squats easier (right now they’re beyond difficult for me)
- Jumping or anything else for bone density

Turns out I’m not doing physical therapy because I don’t have a ride BUT I’m going to the gym with my roommate and the guys that work behind the desk are trainers so I’ll be getting some tips from them. I am determined to not injure myself.

I’m officially 31lbs down! Slow and steady wins the race!

I remember a couple years ago a friend told me their family goes on a “Thanksgiving walk” after they ate and I was like HUHHH????? But now I completely understand.

When foods bother my tummy a good mile walk helps soooo much! It feels good to know that I can help myself out in such a healthy way 😇

I had McDonalds for the first time in over 6 months yesterday. My stomach did not agree with it at all. Partially because I’m so used to eating whole foods and partially due to the Zepbound. But I still lost a pound overnight! I stayed in my calorie deficit 💪

Non-scale victory: my clothes fit me better! I felt so confident yesterday which I haven’t felt in like 10 years! And today a shirt that is usually a bit tight is fitting perfect! 🤩

I made it a whole month without the Zepbound, sticking to my goals, so there’s no reason to worry about it. Also, I haven’t counted a single calorie and I’m still steadily losing weight. It’s amazing what fiber and protein can do for the urges to overeat convenient junk food.

Tonight’s my next Zepbound shot. I’m definitely taking it in the stomach. Yes it will mean that the last few days I will experience cravings again, but I can use that to practice moderation and practice sticking to my macro goals.

Non-scale victory: I fell on the ice a few nights ago and I wasn’t sore at all the next day! I also kinda twisted my ankle that same night and it didn’t bother me at all! I’ve been working a little bit on my balance so I think that helped me not get hurt. 💪💪💪

in the last few weeks I have gone several days without smoking 🌲!!! When I do smoke 🌲 it’s once per day. For the last 15 or so years I have been smoking all day every day. I am so grateful to TMS for changing my brain. I simply cannot smoke all day anymore. 🥳🥳🥳

I’m going to physical therapy soon! I usually go when I have a bad fall that messes up my back, but this time I’m going to learn form and individualized stretches. I can’t afford a personal trainer so physical therapy will be my guide.

Zepbound update: I took my shot in my arm last week and that was not the best idea. I ended up with a few side effects a couple days in. I’m going to continue taking my shot in my stomach for a few weeks and then I will try the arm again. Sulfur burps are horrible! 🤮

I took my first full rest day in over a month yesterday. I usually at least walk every day. Part of me was scared that taking a rest day would get me off track but I’m more motivated to walk again than ever. Sitting on the couch all day yesterday sucked.

Did you know taking Sudafed while on thyroid medication is a no-no? I’m bummed because apparently it’s the most effective cold medication and I have a nasty cold 🤧 Good thing I have a stash of DayQuil.

I lowered my A1C!!! I was one point away from being diabetic 3 months ago. Now I’m at a 5.1 which is almost right in the middle of the healthy range! Seeing my hard work pay off is thrilling!

I’m back on the lowest dose of the Zepbound and I plan to stay on this dose. I don’t understand why insurance pressures people to go up a dose every month. My body could not handle that. Thankfully my doctor advocated for me 🩷🩷🩷

Hell yeah!! I’m back on the Zepbound!! And I’ve been consistently hitting over 20g of fiber a day. No stomach issues :) I worked up pretty slowly to avoid any stomach pain.

Non scale victory: I did 60 jump ropes in a row yesterday at the gym! And I got 9k steps in :) I actually walked to the pharmacy and grocery store. They’re about a mile away. The walk back was brutal with the hills so I might need to get stronger before I do that again but I’m proud that I made it!
January 3, 2026 at 8:11 PM
I had such a lovely New Year’s Eve! Hung out with some good friends and laughed my ass off all night. I didn’t get as many steps in as I wanted to but that’s okay. I still got 6k steps. Today I’m back to it! 💪 No punishing, no restricting, just back to the new routine.

I struggle to stay in a calorie deficit without the medication. I just get so hangry so often without it. But the quality of my caloric intake is way better. I’m getting so much protein and fiber. The scale is moving slowly but surely!
December 31, 2025 at 8:34 PM
Yay my doctor got my insurance to approve the lowest dose of Zepbound so I can continue taking it on Monday! I’ve continued to eat better and I’ve increased my walking capabilities over the last few weeks. I’m walking about 3 miles a day! Sometimes even more. Feels so good!
December 31, 2025 at 8:33 PM
I got almost 17k steps today. That’s more than double my usual. I’m so unbelievably sore but I’m gonna sleep gooood tonight 😇💪

I told the guy from the gym that I couldn’t afford to continue my membership and he extended my membership for two weeks as a Christmas gift! I am so stunned at the kindness of people 🥰
