I'm back, for the moment. I don't know if I will keep blogging as I think I don't have much to say anymore. Most things are just basically the same. But then, occasionally I do like to ramble.... so I guess it will be a hit and miss kinda blog now.
I continue on Saxenda. Uped to 2.4mg but just couldn't do that, too many bruises, feeling nauseated etc. I am currently back down to 1.8mg with 5 clicks. Depression or being down continues to drive me to eating. I'm not sure why today I'm down. But I do notice I have to control the eating more.
My friend came to visit yesterday (Talia). She stayed overnight. It was nice to visit with her. Enjoyed having face time with her. AJ is gone to BC for a few days, then Toronto. He will be back in 3 days. I basically have had a week of being alone.
Jax continues to have issues. Think tomorrow I need to bring him to the vet to see about acupuncture. He still goes to Dr Steve for lasering. Vet does acupuncture. I think his knee is off. Sigh.
We went to that anniversary dinner - stayed overnight. Jax watched us pack. I think that stressed him. In boarding he started to vomit. Then had bloody diarrhea. We came back earlier the next day. Took him to the vet the next morning. Had an episode of gastro intestine issues brought on by anxiety and stress. Talked to the holistic/acupuncture vet and got a calming collar for him. Dr Steve gave me some Rescue Remedy to give him. We are going away in October to visit our friend from the old place - his wife died.
The twins, and Princess are doing well. The twins are finally settling in well. I can pat them and mostly pick them up. So glad about that.
Oh my weight - I've been still going to WW and with Saxenda have lost the 11 pounds I gained from when I started WW. So now I can start on going down from there. Wonder how today's cookies (Talia brought me Girl Guide cookies - box) will do. I'm just so tired.
Cleaned the house top to bottom yesterday before she got here, as she is allergic to cats. Took me 6 hours to polish this place. At least the house is still super clean!
I did get into the shed a few days ago too, cleaned that out too. I do need to cut the grass, but don't see that happening today.
AJ and I will celebrate 10 yrs married next week. We haven't figured out what to do. We might go look at St Catherines and Thorold. We still want to check those places out to see if we would want to move there. After those to places I think we will finally have wandered around enough. Still waiting for those million $$$$$$$$$$$.
I got another tattoo. It's a cherry blossom circle. Don't have a photo of it yet.
Up to date now. Just a few postings of course.... -
I've been on Saxenda for almost a month now. Started at 0.6, up to 1.2 and now on 1.8. I've upped slower then one is suppose to. But then.... puking is a side effect. Oh, I got that today. I had 1/2 c of noodles, and 1, just ONE cookie, and herbal tea. Upped and out of my mouth 2 times in 4 hours. Chills, nausea, and oh, so sick.
And yes, I will stay on it. I have finally started to lose weight. Not much or fast - only about 5 pounds. But it is working. I am eating a lot less, and I feel fuller, and I can stop eating much easier. It's worth it. I can be on this for the rest of my life if it keeps my food in control.
I did do the first few shots at night, but started the 1.8 in the morning as apparently it peaks in 12 hours. This way dinner would be more controllable. I think I might have to go back to night, so I can sleep thru the worse of it. Surprisingly that reaction has been the major and worse I've had.
Oneward -
The trip to the States is fine. Found a spandexy type pants - white with line pattern I loved it when I put it on. And it was only 3 dollars. Went back the next morning and got the leopard 3 dollar pants too. Bought chocolates too - ate them all. Delicious.
Jax is doing well overall. Still going to Dr Steve for laser. He's had a few 'sore' times. Especially after being at the dog centre overnight. And once from the dog park. But it's just something that we have to watch and be on top of. Currently he's very bored as we haven't done anything for 3 days. He is desperate to play. Maybe tomorrow if the weather is ok, (rain tonight) I will take him to the park for a change.
September is going to be a busy month. AJ is off to BC in a few weeks and a meeting in Toronto. Don't know what I'm going to do for a whole week without him.
We looked at a few more towns. Welland, Fort Erie, Port Dover, Port Colbourne, Port Rowan. Port Rowan felt awful - couldn't get out of there fast enough. The energy was ugh for me. Port Dover - loved it, a California Sunny Hippie Town. It was delightful. But not a town for us to live in. Welland was, is a possible. Other ones weren't it. We want to look at St Catharines and Thorold. We are happy here and without the money to move we are content to stay. As Abe says though, focus on what you want, not what you don't want. Do moving we will go!!!
Not much more.
