  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 i...

Tending Mind and Spirit While on GLP-1: Iyanla Vanzant’s Guidance One thing I realized on this journey is that the mind and spirit needed tending too. That’s where Iyanla Vanzant became a guiding light. Her teachings on honesty, reflection, and daily practice showed me that true change isn’t rushed — it’s built from consistent, mindful action.

Before each GLP-1 shot, I pause to set intention, honoring both my progress and the areas where I still need compassion. These small acts ripple outward, shaping how I respond to cravings, manage stres...

Menopause & GLP-1: A New Chapter of Change by Tonua Norice | GLP-1 Mind • Body • Spirit Reflection Menopause isn’t just a phase — it’s a full-body awakening. The changes can feel confusing, even unfair, but they’re also an invitation to listen deeper. GLP-1 support helped me navigate “The Change” with more grace, balance, and energy — and showed me that aligning mind, body, and spirit turns this season into one of renewal, not loss. The Shift No One Warned Me About The weight starts to cling around your middle. That midsection bulge — that fupa — shows up with the bold confidence of a 19-year-old in a bikini. Sleep gets harder. Cravings get louder. Energy dips just when you need it most. I know what it’s like to wonder if the old rules — eat less, move more, try harder — will ever work again. It’s exhausting. The kids were gone. The house was quiet. Some days I caught myself whispering, “Okay God, I want a do-over.” I...
