This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2025 the theme is a random assemblage of things that are on my mind--or that just pop into my mind. Whatever! Let's just say I'll be "Tossing It Out" for your entertainment or however it is you perceive these things.

Ozempic and Other Such Things ( #AtoZChallenge )

 


     Ozempic and other such things I have considered in recent years.  I've been what is considered overweight for a number of years, but in the past couple years I've been losing pounds.  I've yet to resort to any weight loss drugs.  I'm hesitant to do so.  I have however been eating far less than I used to and consequently have been losing some weight. Good news I think.  Hopefully I won't have to resort to any drugs to lose weight. Eating less and doing more exercise is the way I prefer.  I'll walk up and down my stairs more.  That sounds like a good approach.  And less eating.

Nice Things ( #AtoZChallenge )

 



        Nice things are nice to have.  I have a lot of nice things, but that is my subjective opinion.  My wife doesn't think a lot of my things are all that nice.  I suppose a lot of folks would not be particularly impressed with my possessions, but I like them just fine.  I've got pretty simple tastes and don't really want of all that much.  My needs are met for the most part and I'm pretty content in my life.  I guess that's a nice thing as well.

Minus the Meat, Please! ( #AtoZChallenge )

 


     "Minus the meat, please," has almost become my body's mantra as I get older.  I was never a big consumer of meat, but now it's like I'm turning into a vegetarian.  Not quite, but I seem to be trending that direction.  Oh, I still enjoy a burger now and then, but not too big.  Chili with ground beef sounds fine, but not any huge quantities.  I'm sure I'd enjoy a good steak occasionally, though I've never been a big fan of eating  steak.  

      My body is changing I guess.  Maybe soon I'll be eating even more salads and veggie platters than ever before.  I'm sure I won't totally give up on meat anytime soon, but I'll be likely saying, "Minus the meat, please" more often than ever before.  I guess that will make some animals happy.
