✨ Week 13 on Zepbound (7.5mg) ✨
This week has been a whirlwind—between dealing with the shots and side effects, my daughter’s big job changes, a thrift store craft haul, AND my rant about why social media can be toxic (unless it’s non-political fun stuff 😅)… let’s just say it’s been a week!

I’m keeping it real about this Zepbound journey—the ups, the downs, and all the messy life stuff in between. 💉💪

🚨 Week 11 Zepbound Update! 🚨

I’ve officially moved up to 7.5mg — but y’all, the scale is stuck and it is so frustrating. 😒 In this week’s video I’m talking about:

Y’all… this week was a ride. 5 days in the hospital (because why not, right? 🙄) with diverticulitis and a UTI, but I’m still here, still showing up, and still doing my Zepbound shot — on camera this time! 💉

💪 I’ve lost weight.
👀 My face is looking slimmer.
🏥 My body tried to fight me.
👊 I didn’t quit.

If you’re on this weight loss journey too (especially us over 50 fighting more than just the scale), come check out my latest update. I’m sharing the good, the bad, and the downright ridiculous — because real life doesn’t care about perfect progress.

🚨 Neighborhood PSA: Protect Your Neighbors and Yourself 🚨

Hey neighbors, just a quick reminder:

If anyone comes to your door claiming to be from the government (like DHHS, CPS, etc.) asking questions about your neighbors or their personal info:

✅ Do NOT give out any information about other people, even if they seem nice or “official.”
✅ Real Texas DHHS workers have lapel placards and visible ID, and they don’t go door-to-door asking neighbors for private info.
✅ You can politely tell them to check in with your housing office or property management or police department. If they are who they say they are they won't mind.
✅ If something feels off, call your local non-emergency police number immediately to report suspicious activity.

We all deserve to feel safe in our homes, and protecting each other’s privacy helps keep our community strong.

Stay safe, y’all. 💪❤️

✨ Ready for some real talk about GLP-1 meds? ✨

Sick of groups where you can’t ask honest questions without getting buried in nonsense? Or where every post is someone’s “magic tea” pitch or 2-second before/after scam?

👊 Not here. We’re GLP-1 Strong: Real Talk.

If you’re on Zepbound, Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or other GLP-1 meds (or thinking about it) and want a REALISTIC, supportive, no-BS space to talk about:

✅ What’s actually normal (and what’s not)
✅ Real food, water, and protein tips for this journey
✅ Side effects that no one warns you about
✅ Slow losses vs. fast losses (and why that’s ok)
✅ Dealing with family, doctors, and “concern trolls”
✅ Celebrating wins, big and small

…then you’re our kind of people.

🎯 This is NOT a weight-loss quick fix group. This is a community for real humans doing real work to reclaim their health, at their own pace, with honesty and humor.

👋 Come join us: GLP-1 Strong: Real Talk

We’ll leave the door open for you (but you gotta answer the entry questions so we know you’re not a bot, Karen, or a MLM pusher 😉).

If you’re ready to get serious about your health and want a space to do the inner work while on your GLP-1 journey, I’d love for you to join us:
