       I reached my heaviest weight ever last month and it coincided with
       some health stuff that led me to a cardiologist. I'm going to
       a follow-up today, in fact. Good news is that I'm not in danger
       right now. Bad news is I have heart disease. I've got a family
       history of it, and I'm overweight with borderline pre-diabetes,
       high blood pressure, and low fitness level. All not great.
       
       I've got some things in the works, though. I bought a desk
       treadmill about a month back and that's been really good for
       stepping me up in activity instead of sitting all day. My
       cardiologist prescribed me regular swimming as well. And finally,
       thanks to some info from a friend, I started Wegovy.
       
       It's one of those weight loss drugs, like Ozempic, but indicated
       specifically for weight loss, not diabetes. I'm in my fourth week
       now and I've been shedding weight steadily. The first week was
       awkward with some GI issues. It was so easy for my habits to have
       me overeat and then wretch. I've adapted well and will step up in
       dose size next week.
       
       So far so good. I've a long way to go, but shedding the weight
       will also help me as I increase my activity level again. Wish me
       luck.
