Hi. I love my cat.
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.

Thank you, Mounjaro

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?

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.

Also, goodbye sparkly fall/winter L/XL wardrobe that is now too big and, thanks to surgeries last year, I was never able to fully wear 😭

Jumpsuits are a thing old me would’ve never tried. I’m having fun experimenting with them lately.

Work finally slowed down and I’m all caught up on my immunizations!

Vaccines save lives. And with RFK doing everything he can to make them harder to access, you need to stop procrastinating. Get everything you can. This weekend. If you need help, let me know! Once a vaccine fairy, always.

President Donald Trump has never sounded more wise and authoritative than in this video. I agree with him 100%. What a thought leader!

How we end most days together, with her cuddling my arm as she purrs me to sleep. ❤️
