Welcome to Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino: A GLP-1 Woman’s Diary on Balance & Becoming.

 




Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino exists to show that balance isn’t about clean eating or perfect routines; it’s about conscious living, self-respect, and humor through the human process of healing and evolving.

Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino: A GLP-1 Woman’s Diary on Balance & Becoming.

A real-life journal — reflections on food, fatigue, and feminine power by Tonua Norice.

This is my unfiltered space — a living journal of what happens when your body starts rewriting its own rules in your late 40s, dares you to listen instead of fight back, and reminds you that balance isn’t about clean eating or perfect routines.

Here, I write about the fatigue that feels hormonal but is really emotional, the glow that returns after forgiveness, and the way feminine power changes form when you stop forcing your body to prove anything. I chronicle the mess, the holy, the energy shifts, the little triumphs — all of it, stream-of-consciousness, real, and raw.

Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino is for women who want to witness their own becoming — to see that self-respect, conscious living, and a little humor are the true markers of balance. Each post ends with a small reflection — a reminder that healing, evolving, and aging gracefully is never sterile or staged.

Okay — yes, I do love a good, juicy cheeseburger with a cold Pellegrino for dinner now and then (don’t tell on me, ha!). There’s something about that combo that just satiates me — body, spirit, and mood — especially on the days I need it most.

Now don’t get me wrong: I’m all about getting healthy, lowering my blood pressure and A1C, and moving this body for a long, vibrant life. But having a cheeseburger and a Pellegrino doesn’t cancel any of that out — it’s called balance.

Too much of anything is never good for you. So here, we enjoy the moment… then we get up and move.

I’ve got so much I want to share with you — recipes, little workouts that fit real life, thoughts that keep me grounded, and plans that stretch toward the future.

Come with me. You’re so welcome here.💞

Today’s reminder: balance isn’t clean eating — it’s conscious living.

Ready to pull up a chair and see what this space is all about?

Facing the Shadows and Reclaiming the Whole Self

                                               Facing the Shadows and Reclaiming the Whole Self with the help of GLP-1 After exploring Freud’s world of the unconscious , I was left asking — what do I do with everything I’d uncovered? Enter Dr. Carl Jung , the thinker who gave language to the deeper work — the part where we don’t just recognize the unconscious, we befriend it. Jung taught that the “shadow” holds the parts of ourselves we’ve exiled — our anger, shame, grief, but also our creativity, intuition, and power. It’s not just darkness; it’s potential waiting to be integrated. That truth shifted everything for me. When I began my GLP-1 journey , I thought I was simply addressing physical health. But as my body found balance, I realized how much emotional weight I’d been carrying. The mirror became a truth-teller. Each pound released carried memories, emotions...

Unconscious and Rewriting Old Narratives: The Battle to Lose & Gain on GLP-1

  Uncovering the Unconscious and Rewriting Old Narratives: The Battle to Lose & Gain on GLP-1 When I finished reflecting on Frantz Fanon ’s work, I realized that reclaiming my power meant I also had to understand what was powering me. That’s when Dr. Sigmund Freud ’s insights on the unconscious stepped forward — not as a clinical framework, but as a mirror. Freud taught that much of what drives us lies beneath awareness: buried emotions, unprocessed experiences, and the internalized scripts we carry from childhood. At first, I resisted this idea. I wanted to believe I was fully in control. But my body knew otherwise. My anxiety, cravings, and exhaustion weren’t random; they were messages — the language of my subconscious asking to be heard. Through my GLP-1 journey, I began to feel this in real time. As my body recalibrated, it made space for deeper awareness. When the appetite quieted, the inner dialogue grew louder — and I started hearing the why behind my patterns...
