Mounjaro / Zepbound Life S65 1yr+108d

 


So despite my super slow weight loss with my new work out program I did hit an even 224 lb this morning … the lowest I have been since 1987 (37 years ago!).  My BMI is 31.2 ..: with all the Zepbound shortages I am kind of afraid to get below 30 now as I have read that some pharmacies may not fill my prescription if my BMI is too low when it does become available again (I started at a BMi of 54 which really should be the BMI they go by!)  … Could you imagine if that was a risk for not getting your BP meds filled?

So in summary, 132 lb down on tirzepatide for 37% weight loss (and  total 159 lb down from my maximum weight for 41.5% weight loss).

I have been making positive strides in the gym and am slowly regaining my lost strength.   I definitely look good working out in a tighter shirt … funny how most of my adult life has been lived in oversized very loose t shirts because I did not like the way I looked …. 

On the jogging front, I am up to None to Run Week 12 Run 2 for my next run.   I jogged 2.5 miles non stop (albeit slow compared to most runners, but as they say … I am outpacing the couch potatoes!). I am signed up for my second 5K this coming Saturday …I am looking to beat my last 5K time which would be a definite win!  Wish me luck!

On the dating front, I am not having any more luck than when I was much larger (it actually kind of seems harder than when I was larger)  so I may have to look at other things that may be getting in the way … personality?  sarcasm?   attitude?  sense of humor?  am I too picky?      I thought I was at a good place with those and good to go on these other factors but I may need to dig deeper…

In reference to the photo, I bought some appropriately sized sports coats and I am now actively looking for excuses to wear them!

  Hello!   So today I weighed in at 237.6 which is awesome!      Here is a summary of my weight loss journey for the past 5 1/2 years … it shows my attempts before Mounjaro and although some success with gargantuan efforts it was completely unsustainable for me and very yo-yo like … my maximum recorded weight is in the middle of the chart so a couple of years in I weighed more than my first day!   The last downslope is the past year on tirzepatide / mounjaro / abound … Crazy!!   And now with sustained manageable  total daily healthy eating this past year  I have hit body  weights that I never honestly believed I would ever see again!  And I now believe I can lose even more … crazy but in a good way.   A complete mental reset. Here is the same graph but by BMI: The BMI of 53.4 and 52.2 were in the extremely obese (morbidly obese) category. My present BMI of 33.1 is still considered obese. I need to hit a BMI of 29 to no longer be considered obese .. a BMI of 29 would categorize me as OV

  So additional info from yeaterday’s post… Above is a photo from this morning and the last post had a photo at the bottom of me at my maximum weight!  My food plan: Mostly CorePower Chocolate Shakes (mixed with Fairlife chocolate shakes and CorePower Vanilla and Strawberry Banana shakes) One meal per day at home on work days … mostly Sloppy Joe’s made with ground turkey and keto buns with either side salad or fruit cups (no sugar added mandarin oranges or pineapple) and a 1/4 pint of ice cream (Hagan-Daz or Breyers).  Mix it up with chicken Tikka Masala or Ground Turkey tacos on keto friendly soft tortillas.   Those are with side salad or the fruit and possibly also the ice cream at the end. One weekends when I am being social I allow myself two regular meals without paying too much attention  to what I am eating (whatever is served) or something appealing at a restaurant … I do tend towards poultry and fish or vegetarian and avoid any heavy servings of red meat because I don’t  seem

 So here we are … I have been at a prolonged plateau at about 230 pounds but making progress on all other fronts. I did my 5th 5K this past Saturday with a later life personal best of 44:25.97 which is very slow for accomplished runners but I am thrilled that I broke 45 minutes.   That is about a 14:20 / mile average … I think if I can get myself to 14 minutes that I will be ready for doing a 10K during my 60th birthday month in October.  I did that 5K non-stop but my dilemma is whether to keep going with a non-stop pace or switch to the Jeff Galloway Run/Walk ratio pacing … most the people around me at the 5K were doing some variant of that “Jeffing” kind of pacing.   i have been hitting the gym 2-3 times per week consistently for the past 28 weeks and I am feeling good about that.  I have been concentrating on upper body and to a lesser extent abdominals as I am concerned with hurting my kneess while I am trying to progress in the running side of the things. So that is the summary of
