Hi. I love my cat.
I can’t possibly go anywhere today, I have to cuddle my cat against her will. She’s appalled, by the way. But she’s also a soft, fluffy cloud. So that’s just how it is.

(She showed her annoyance with a single meow so lengthy that she had to pause twice to breathe.)

Yes, Happy Thanksgiving and all that (Dad made a delicious turkey!) but please know that my mom made me a surprise early cake and then my family sang ‘Happy Birthday’ while (accidentally, very traumatizing) sparkler candles flashed in front of me.

Willingly went to the gym on Thanksgiving and used my insufferable wardrobe as motivation. Set a new biking time record for myself.

I earned my dinner tonight! Thank you, Mounjaro.

Thrifting fun from this weekend.

It’s time to defrost your turkey. Don’t forget about your marinating drawer! Follow me for more cooking tips.

So I started Mounjaro in October 2022. I weighed 297 pounds at my highest and my A1C was 7.3. This morning, I weighed in at 146 pounds and my A1C was 4.9. I’ve been on this a while and I’ve learned some things. This is what I wish I knew when I first started.

My new friend Kurt Geiger (an $11 thrift find) joined my insufferable yet motivational gym wardrobe tonight. All workout shoes should have crystal flowers, obviously.

A story of hypocrisy in four parts.

I asked her if she wanted help getting down from there and this is the look she gave me.

Instagram vs Reality

She’s a sassy supermodel. Still the fairest of them all.

I had my left knee replaced December 2024 and manipulated this past February. It has not been an easy recovery. Harder than anyone expected, actually. A perfect knee is -10 (straight) and 140 (bent). My surgical team was pleased when they got me to +4 and 120ish.

Sydney appears to be experiencing vision issues, possibly in solidarity with me. She swears there are no treats in her dish. She’s a very deprived cat :(

I’ve been trying since December to get the right lenses for my glasses. I’ve been misdiagnosed, paid for glasses frames AND lenses twice at my local Target, had them make and remake lenses 5 times (maybe 6, I’ve honestly lost count) and it’s still not right.

It’s the best time of year for fresh vegetables!

Also, she is a cat.

Dug out my old accountability jeans again for another look. This wasn’t my biggest size, I was a 26W at my largest. But these jeans were in my indicator for about 15 years on how I was doing. Were they too loose, did they fit just right or—gulp—were they too tight?

Coconut Chai, topped with Kerrygold Buttercream and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

This shapewear t-shirt fits me and isn’t even as firm as I’d like it to be 😭 Thank you, Mounjaro.

Introducing some dear Canadian friends to true American cuisine tonight.

They might have ginger beef, but this is MY childhood.
