Ozempic Update and a Chat

[@bealtainecottage]

Well, kudos to you, Cheryl! You have done an incredible job sorting out Grant’s office which is now the library.

[@cherylcoyote]

@@bealtainecottage Thanks Collette! I just left a comment on your 'toilet' video. Gosh, those red and white striped cushion covers are festive, and the charity shop coffee table is a lovely addition. Happy Birthday!🥰

Wonderful update! So happy you have a water supply, it is a blessing!! Wow, the library is amazing, great work! You've got this, I'm so proud of you Cheryl! My experience with food addiction taught me once I was in balance; not overeating or eating sugar the food noise stopped. I think this has happened for you. There is nothing I can eat that makes me feel this good, physically or mentally as staying in balance. I love being able to move, wear anything my heart desires, to run into a store and disappear without stares or comments. I probably enjoy food more now than ever. Stay the course, keep the focus it is worth it! Thrilled you posted your chat❤❤

[@cherylcoyote]

@@modgranny Thank you! That's a wonderful pep talk, and I need one right about now. I'm back on track, I hope.😊

[@modgranny]

@ You’re okay, it’s gonna be okay. You have the important things a wonderful partner, children, family and your mental & physical health. 🥰❤️

[@SCsweettea]

So grateful tomozempic for giving you your life back.

[@cherylcoyote]

@@SCsweettea It was a miracle drug for me. I'm doing well and it's doing it's job. I'm back on track!

[@SCsweettea]

@ when I think about you deep sadness after your mom died. The vibrant coyote was quieted. Now she is back….full speed ahead. Just in time!

[@cherylcoyote]

@ The coyote is in mourning, and you, dear kindred spirit, know the reasons why. I realized last night that nothing matters. I went to sleep feeling despair, and woke up feeling release, like a Buddhist glimpsing nirvana. If, in deed, nothing matters then I can do anything I want. The question, of course, is "What do I want?" I'm going to ruminate on that. One thing that does matter are the relationships that feed our souls, especially with compatriots who view life's fundamentals the same way we do. My Thanksgiving wish for you is that you find sources of contentment to sustain you during these times that try womens' souls.

[@SCsweettea]

@@cherylcoyote yes. That’s exactly where I am. I did everything I could….from placing signs in my yard, recruiting two ex-Amish friends to register. Donating money. I realize now…living with 8 years of anger and fear had to stop. I will be lucky to have 8 years left and I intend to live as joyfully as possible. I took the off ramp.

[@cherylcoyote]

@ I'm not there yet. The anger and fear is deepening. I realized last night that everything I do is in service to distract me from the knowledge that we're tied to the tracks and the train's a'comin.

Cheryl I HAVE to call you, you have been on my mind! They changed my Ozempic from .05 to 1mg and what a difference! Food noise has finally went away. I had gained twenty pounds and was getting nervous. This was the little edge I needed. I love you and hopefully can get to call you tomorrow so we can talk! XO

[@cherylcoyote]

@@priestessbrenda Yes! I'll be in town most of the day tomorrow and home in the afternoon. I'll text you when I'm settled in and we can have a nice long chat.🥰

[@elizabethtobin4762]

Yippee for rain! Loved the catch up. Grant’s library is going to be fabulous with all of your creativity and special touches. So happy that you’re feeling good!❤😊

[@cherylcoyote]

I know! The rain came just in time and I think my "library" is going to look pretty amazing when it's finished.

[@msavp4481]

I really enjoy your updates and you seem happy! Enjoy the coming rain! Looks like it’s going to be a lot up north here. Yayyy!

[@cherylcoyote]

Up north looks brutal. Let's hope it treats Northern California gently.

[@deannagrooms1039]

Awesome update ❤

[@cherylcoyote]

@@deannagrooms1039 Hi Sweetie! I hope you're having a great week and are planning a nice Thanksgiving. We're going to fly low and slow with no big dinner or knockout plans. Just turkey and finger foods but the fire.

[@deannagrooms1039]

@cherylcoyote we are doing the same here

[@whisperingwindsenchantedco2358]

Nice to hear you are doing so well, I have lost a total of 15 pounds and still going at it but slow. When are you going to start decorating for Christmas?I have started a little bit. Hugs

[@aemummie1]

The library is gorgeous so far! Love it!

[@cherylcoyote]

@@aemummie1 Thanks! Today we start building the closet shelves. So looking forward to making my final reveal video!

[@wandamyers2690]

That is so funny about your chickens 😆 I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. 🦃 🧡

[@cherylcoyote]

@@wandamyers2690 Thanks Wanda, and the same right back atcha! Our Thanksgiving will be small, relaxed, and cozy.😊

Glad you’re working out your issues with weight loss. It seems no matter the method there are plateaus that hit. Hope your water issue can be resolved before too long. When you don’t have it running freely though you do learn how to make do with much less. When we camped at a sight that was primitive, we learned how to use minimal amounts to accomplish what we would have used much more water to do at a hookup with water. Where we previously lived we were on a well and when we lost power we lost water. Again you suddenly learn ways to make do with less. At the rate we’re going with climate change, we all may have to learn to use minimal amounts.

[@cherylcoyote]

@@margueritepeaden3445 Very true. I see it as an opportunity to learn new skills that may prove useful in the future. Although I don't anticipate a permanent loss of well water, one never knows. I'm so grateful for simple comforts these days.

[@prudiefox9235]

Hi Hun! The library is coming along great. I was watching a YT channel earlier and the content creator mentioned the mess that cleaning one room makes. I laughed because I have the same problem, which is why my garage is packed full. BTW, where is your bed?

[@cherylcoyote]

@@prudiefox9235 My bed, the antique I bought last year, is in pieces in the mudroom. Once the headboard is glued back together I'll be able to exchange if for the bedframe I'm using now. I no longer sleep in the big front room, but have migrated to the smaller back bedroom which is, naturally, packed with crap!🫣

[@marysalvato3532]

Nice chat,😊❤

[@cherylcoyote]

Hi Mary! I hope all is well with you and you're getting ready for Thanksgiving. We're going to be very relaxed and casual this year - mostly finger foods, plus some turkey.

[@marysalvato3532]

@cherylcoyote sounds good,,you're going to pick up my 94 young mom and go to my daughter house ,,but I'll be bringing the beans pinto beans,,God is great,,hugs

[@karen4you]

Isn't sleeping on one's back great? It didn't feel comfortable many extra pounds ago. Yes, building muscle really makes a difference for daily chores. That library is looking good. I'm going through stuff here and organizing. It's fun to be doing things.

[@cherylcoyote]

@@karen4you Yes, it's such a relief to be able to sleep on my back. I never wake up stiff or in pain anymore. Grant and I have been working on the closet shelves for the past two days and, yep, it's fun to make progress!

[@marysalvato3532]

Hi Cheryl, 😊

[@MaddyLVlog]

My doc has recommended the same weight loss meds. My fear is the side effects. Have you had any negative side effects from it? A friend of mine landed in the hospital over severe constipation (they think). She’s had numerous vomiting episodes as well. Scares me!

[@cherylcoyote]

@@MaddyLVlog This is what I mean when I say that it's tragic how poorly some people tolerate Ozrmpic. For those of us who suffer few side effects it's an easy transition. I had almost no side effects, and the ones I had (nausea, bloating) were so brief and mild that I actually forgot that I'd had them. I eat adequate fiber, drink enough water, and have reduced the volume of food I eat. If you decide to attempt Ozempic, make sure to eat less food at meals. Good luck!
