Just a random-ness

 Had another "ozempic moment", which is how I'm now referring to the nausea and vomiting caused by my ozempic.  

It's kinda getting old.  Not sure what to do.  I should talk to my doctor, but kinda don't wanna.  Since I did tell her that it was getting worse.  I might change doctors, even.  Sigh.  She seems good.  But I've heard less than positive things, now.  

I am down to about 170 pounds.  Which is super close to changing me from being 'obese' to just 'over-weight'.  I think another 3 pounds or so.  

Took a nice long walk on Thursday.  That was nice.  

Debating with myself about adding a B complex vitamin.  I'm usually tired.  And according to a med interaction thing I read one of my meds interferes with B absorption.  B are the energy vitamins.  Just refreshed my info.  B12 and folic acid.  Possibly a Coenzyme Q10.

We'll see what I do.  

I do know I am super tired of throwing up. 

Ozempic - my frenemy

 Ah, Ozempic.

I love how it controls my sugar and is helping me lose weight, too.

I HATE how if I eat the wrong thing, VOMIT.

I'm now consistently down in the 170s.  I have dipped into high 160s.  But this vomiting thing SUCKS.

2024 Physical updates

 My 2024 physical went well.  My A1c basically stayed the same.  Which, since I really wasn't doing much different, means that I am doing pretty good.  The number is 6.2, for those who wonder.  

oooo
Looking at results.  My "mean corpuscular volume" numbers are slowly trending down.  Still in 'normal' range, but within 2 points of being low.  I don't know what that means, but I will look it up.  

Looks like some liver stuff is going on, just going by my test numbers.  Yay.  

But I won't worry about it.  

My cholesterol is actually good.  triglycerides are a bit higher than ideal, but half of what they were two years ago.  Everything else is solidly in 'normal'  :D

"Officially" at 79.8kg.  But that's after eating and wearing jeans.  My scale had me at 79.5kg, before breakfast.  So, definitely under that 80kg.  

LOL
In normal terms, I'm down to 175.9 lbs.  After eating and while wearing jeans.  My skivvies weight is 174.2 lbs.  Either way, down 2ish pounds since April.  

I do still do some walking.  But I'm tired.  Just... tired.

A year plus after ozempic

 So, from my last blog, I mentioned a 'disastrous encounter with a zinger'.

Turns out, it's the ozempic.  It's made me sensitive to several things.  Too much sugar, I will throw up or at least feel like I'm gonna.  The scent of several things now makes me queasy.  Lots of things I used to love, now are gross.  Lots of sausage varieties make me queasy.  I used to not care for fish sticks.  Now the idea of putting one into my mouth, I just gag.  Can't do it.  I tried.  

I'm not being very consistent with walking.  

Now, I'm gonna go throw up now.

Starting again.

 Well, more of continue, of course.  I haven't be INactive, but my back went out about a week or so ago.  

I've been doing my physical therapy exercises since the day after I did it. I tried to pick up a bag which had two gallons of water.  16ish pounds.  Should NOT have been an issue.  Back went pop, and here we are.

Been a few days!

 Or maybe a few months.  We put the chickens on the porch, and after we added the dust wallow, EVERYTHING was covered in dust.  

John got a sinus infection from running in it.  So, kinda scared to actually use the treadmill!

Just had my final (I hope) diabetic education class.  Educator is very pleased with my progress.  So am I, for that matter.  She said I was down 5 pounds since October.  Which might be true, dunno.  

I'm SOOOO close to going from 'obese' to 'overweight' as shown by my scale.  Very exciting.  

My current 'official' weight is 172.2.  :D

My 'got nothin in me' weight is 168.6.  (After my disastrous encounter with the zinger)

Obviously, I don't want a repeat of that.  

I might do some photos of me, to go with my before photos.  Kinda 'during' photos.

That's about it.  Live your life.  Do the things that make you happy, if it harms none. 

Luv ya!
