Here we go….

Hey there, fellow adventurers! Last night, in a moment of impulse (or perhaps madness), I decided to test out my shiny new scale. Picture this: it’s late, I’ve just indulged in some ice cream, I’m fully clothed, and to top it all off, my hair is still damp. Classic rookie mistake, right? But as I stared at that number on the scale, it hit me – I needed to start a blog. I need to share my weight loss journey.

Remember that news program years ago? They talked about how people who publicly shared their weight loss journey were more likely to succeed. While I might not be gearing up for a national TV weigh-in, this blog is my version of putting it all out there, holding myself accountable in the most public way possible. And because sometimes the internet is amazing, I found the Primetime show and it is good viewing https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Diet/story?id=1725982&page=1

Now, let’s get one thing straight – I’m not about to sacrifice all the joys of life for the sake of dropping a few pounds. Food and drink are more than just fuel to me; they’re moments of connection, of celebration. And let’s not forget my ultimate weakness: wine. Living near the Texas Hill Country means I’m spoiled for choice when it comes to wineries, each one a treasure trove of stories and flavors waiting to be explored.

So here’s the deal: this weight loss journey? It’s going to look a little different. You won’t find me dishing out a ton of healthy recipes – that’s just not my style. Instead, I’ll be sharing the nitty-gritty of life on Wegovy, my journey back to fitness, and of course, my wine escapades.

Now, I know what you’re thinking – wine and weight loss don’t exactly go hand in hand. But hear me out: I firmly believe that moderation is key. Sure, it might take me a bit longer to reach my goal, but I’m in it for the long haul. And hey, I’ve even bought this domain for a whole year – talk about commitment!

So here I am, starting at 201.5 pounds and ready to take on the world. Welcome to my world, where wine flows freely, books abound, and the journey to fitness is anything but conventional. Strap in, folks – it’s going to be one heck of a ride!
