Hey, fellow high functioners! Indiana served up 70°+ and sunny in mid-November (wild). I knocked out an all-in-one Miracle Morning on GLP-1 shot day (last 7.5 mg dose of Mounjaro; 10 mg starts next Friday).
Big win: hit 85 g protein with only one shake. Breakfast was high-protein yogurt (texture war with Chobani continues), plus rotisserie chicken at home, and dinner out with my bestie at Texas Roadhouse where I actually chose salmon over steak to help my LDL. Green beans and a simple house salad rounded it out.
Pool closing and yard wrap-up are queued for the next sunny day. Also: a quick Shava (our special-needs cat) update — grabbed his prescription food from our longtime vet to keep him comfy.
Programming note: Life in the Bari Lane — Parts 1 & 2 of my convo with Dr. Evan Nadler (pediatric bariatric surgeon) are live; Part 3 drops Monday. Learned so much about childhood obesity and adult weight patterns.
If you’ve got a bariatric story (bypass, sleeve, SADI, DS, even lap-band experiences), or you’re living high-functioning on the outside with chaos inside, I’d love to chat. Email’s best — details below.
Shoutouts & bits: Miracle Morning, Mounjaro 7.5→10 mg next week, protein target wins, LDL-friendly choices, cat care, pool season finale, and resisting the siren song of steak.
