Hello everyone! Oklahoma calling—the state where the wind comes sweeping down the plain, dropping every extra calorie in the Midwest straight onto my hips.
56 is my age, and two fronts are being fought right now: the bathroom scale and menopause (which is clearly just nature’s way of prank-calling my metabolism).
Retatrutide got started a week ago, and woo boy, what a rollercoaster. 40 lbs came off previously through pure sweat and calorie counting, with 3 to 6 mile runs at a time. The weight eventually found its way back, yet getting completely off my pain meds happened in the process! Baby steps with workouts are back on the table now, blood pressure is being kept in check, and Ret does the heavy lifting.
Things I want to get out of this:
Side note: tv shows and movies are a real enjoyment. A movieholic, in fact. horror is the genre for me. Right now the favorites are Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Silo, Plurbis, Furious and Landman. Movies - too many to list
