susandennisI've been on Wegovy now for 16 weeks. I've lost about 15 pounds. In my personal, substantial girth, that ain't much. But yesterday I got a reality check. Bonny was sharing her hip replacement details - show and tell for a meeting of old people - and she said that she had gained 10 pounds of water with the surgery and was having trouble losing it. "None of my pants fit! I can't get my shirt buttoned! Ten pounds is a LOT of weight to gain!!"
hahahah ok so, I said to myself... if 10 is a lot to gain then 15 ain't chump change in the losing department. Go me! I only wear knit clothes that are either very loose or stretchy (or both) so my clothes fit pretty much the same way they always have pretty much. But, I do have a stretched out old swim suit that is very nearly now too baggy to wear. I have the straps tightened as much as they will go. I normally swim by myself so it's ok to wear for laps still.
This living room is a mess. I need to spend some time tidying it up before I do anything else today. I have cat food to put away, yarn to put away, the kitchen to clean up...
Then the baseball game which starts before lunch today.
I finished a book last night that Jo recommended - A Killing in November by Simon Mason. It was really really good. Great characters. It's a British author and a British reader. One of the characters was American and this reader has THE worst American accent ever but you were never confused about who it was when that character was speaking! It was still a great read and... it was #1 in the series of which there are already 4 and soon to be a 5th! happy happy.
I checked my library hold list and several are available soon - you are 1 of 3 waiting, you are 2 of 5 waiting, etc and then there's this one...
Martha recommended it yesterday and I just went to Libby and slapped a hold on to it without looking until this morning. It appears to be THE book to want! At least they have 300+ copies. I have plenty to read until then.
Ooops I just fell down a crochet pattern rabbit hole. Shit will never get done that way. So it's time to get off this computer.
