Keto Support....

     Steve and I were alone this New Year's Eve. We treated each other to a lovely brunch at the little restaurant behind our house. It has a beautiful view of Pokai Bay and delicious food due to a great chef. We try not to go there too often, which keeps it fresh.  Otherwise, we just stayed in and watched fireworks all around us.  The night was noisy but fun. Of course, Steve spent his usual few evening hours at the marina, and I always enjoy going along with him for the fresh air and the sites.  Generally, our week was very uneventful. Jake spent the week in Washington State skiing and snowboarding, so it was quiet here. We'll pick him up from the airport this evening. I'm doing my usual bay walks, Zumba, and weightlifting. The only difference between what I do here and in Washington is that I spend time in and beside the pool. It's very refreshing. My menu has remained the same. I'm not making any new recipes, but my old standbys are serving me well so far. I've also spent some time looking for natural sources of semaglutide. There's very little available, and for the most part, it's ineffective compared to the prescription. That's too bad.  It appears that when one becomes insulin resistant, there's no quick fix, and in fact, it seems to be irreversible.  Also, according to studies, most people regain weight once they get off the semaglutide. I do not want to stay on this forever, so I will see how to avoid it. Since there's no natural way to accommodate this, the next step is to see what I can do to keep from gaining weight once I stop using a semaglutide. My experience over the past few years tells me that I can maintain my weight loss if I continue the keto and exercise, which I definitely intend to do.  That's my next course of study. In the meantime, I hope everyone has the happiest of New Year!
