Discuss progress/lack of progress vs week 1 baseline if we have a new body composition.

Keep in mind that they are in the building stage of the medication, so we are not expecting a lot of fat loss at this point. 3-4 lbs of fat loss in the first month would be considered a success. Many patients with 75-100 lbs to lose report losing up to 25 lbs in first month. Ascertain if patient has been compliant with dietary and exercise recommendations and medication adherence.

Action: If there has been no fat loss or even fat gain, then need to discuss the case with medical director for possible additional interventions. Advise patient to track sleep for next week preferably with sleep tracking device but if not, then just manual tracking (time to bed, time waking up, how many times did they awake for the night, sleep hygiene questions.)

New Trump power dynamic ushers in a Gilded Age in D.C.

President Trump's made-for-TV ...

President Trump's made-for-TV inauguration gave a taste of a blossoming new Gilded Age in Washington.

Why it matters: In a town whose residents overwhelmingly voted against Trump, the new Beltway elites are ensconcing themselves in their Cybertrucks, parties with the 1% and an expanding portfolio of extravagant restaurants and clubs.

What I'm hearing: "If Gilded Age means throwing money around, then we're in for it," says writer Sally Quinn, who foresees plenty of elaborate parties, and fewer of those intimate Washington dinner parties of yore.

Zoom in: The table is already set. Look no further than restaurateur Stephen Starr, whose $16 million buildout of Osteria Mozza in Georgetown is attracting the likes of Jeff Bezos. For his next project, Starr plans "to resurrect a gilded era of Washington power dining with the reimagining of The Occidental," replete with tableside martini service — "his most glamorous, decadent D.C. restaurant yet," per his reps.

Meanwhile, as the Trumps reportedly seek to reclaim the Old Post Office building hotel, it's rumored that Elon Musk wants to buy the Line hotel at auction.

Musk planting a flag in AdMo over "stodgy" Georgetown would give him an "imprint on the social life of D.C.," says Chuck Thies, a former advisor to Jim Graham, the late D.C. council member who helped redevelop the site into the Line.

Buyers are scooping up more luxe real estate than usual. A flurry of multimillion-dollar home sales in McLean, Kalorama and beyond point to a "Trump bump."

What we're watching: Some cautiously hope the new MAGA crowd will venture outside of their bubble.

The bottom line: "There's a lot of ostentatious behavior and social elitism that if it was here before, it is not nearly as veiled as it once was," Thies says.

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Washington Mardi Gras is in its 76th year and kicks off today in our nation’s capital. These three pageant queens can’t wait to go.

There’s just one “chilling” problem. Ice. It’s what’s keeping these pageant queens stuck sitting around at the hotel rather than on a flight to Washington D.C.

They’re hoping plenty more of this stuff melts over the next 24 hours so they can catch their flight.

“We’re stuck here.”

Sadie Hebert is from Lafayette. She’s been waiting for this moment since she was a little girl following her mom around.

“My mom was a queen in 2001,” said Hebert. “She actually went to D.C. So, my whole entire life I got to see all of the photos and videos of what my mom did, and I kind of grew up in that world.”

“I didn’t like pageants at first - hated them, despised them,” explained Alana Abshire.

Abshire had a different path but ended up falling in love with representing her community five years ago. She’s disappointed that she and her family will be arriving behind schedule due to the historic weather.

“It was definitely a little bit upsetting - it’s one of the biggest trips we’ll ever take in our lives,” said Abshire. “But we’re all spending time together.”

“I’ve never actually seen snowfall,” exclaimed Demi Patin, another pageant queen. “So, this amount was actually really crazy for us to see, and we sat in the lobby here and just watched it fall for hours.”

As it turns out - they did a little more than sit in the lobby and watch it fall.

“We played in the snow a lot and we made a trek down to the gas station for some snacks… it was closed.”

Pretty much everything was put on halt last night and today. But airport director, Mike Edwards, of the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport tells me significant progress is being made.

He’s hopeful commercial flights will resume tomorrow - so are the Louisiana royalty stuck in the snow across the street.

One way or another they’ll find a way there.

“We’re going to make it to D.C., and we’ll never forget this,” says Hebert. “I’m making it to D.C. I will make it there.”

This season will consist of 26 regular season matches with the Spirit hosting and visiting each of the other 13 NWSL clubs once. The Spirit will open its regular season on the road on Friday, March 14 against the Houston Dash before opening its Audi Field schedule the following weekend. The Spirit will play in front of a national broadcast audience at least 20 times this regular season, including five times on CBS, four times on Prime Video and twice each on ABC and ESPN. The Spirit’s seven matches across ABC and CBS are the most in the league this season.

Schedule highlights:

The Spirit will close out the regular season in conjunction with the rest of the league on Sunday, November 2 in Sandy, Utah.

The top four seeds will host a quarterfinal match the second weekend in November with the four quarterfinal winners advancing to the semifinal round the following weekend. The 2025 NWSL Championship will be held on Saturday, November 22.

The Spirit will take the field in 2025 looking to build on this year’s second place finish in the NWSL.

D.C.-area restaurants and chefs were nominated in most of the major categories.

The James Beard Foundation is out with its list of semifinalists for restaurants and chefs of the year and once again the D.C. region is well represented among the nominees.

D.C.-area chefs, proprietors and restaurants were nominated in most of the major categories, including outstanding restaurateur, outstanding restaurant, best new restaurant, outstanding chef, emerging chef and outstanding pasty chef and baker.

Moreover, chefs at seven D.C. restaurants and one in Middleburg were nominated in the category of best chef, Mid-Atlantic, which covers D.C., Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

In the category of outstanding restaurateur, awarded to owners who use their restaurants to build community and demonstrate creativity in entrepreneurship, and integrity in restaurant operations, the foundation nominated Scott Drewno and Danny Lee of the Fried Rice Collective. The restaurant group owns the D.C. restaurants Anju, Chiko and I Egg You.

The Dabney in Shaw, which opened in 2105 and earned a Michelin star two years later, was nominated for outstanding restaurant. Its chef and founder, Jeremiah Langhorne, was named best chef, Mid-Atlantic, by the James Beard Foundation in 2018.

Meanwhile, Amy Brandwein, the longtime chef at the Italian-themed Centrolina in CityCenter, was nominated in the category of outstanding chef after being nominated several times as best chef, Mid-Atlantic.

Below is a rundown of the D.C. region’s other nominees.

Outstanding pastry chef or baker: Susan Bae, Moon Rabbit (D.C)

Best new bar: Bar Cana (D.C)

Best new restaurant: Mita (D.C)

Emerging chef: Paolo Dungca, Hiraya (D.C)

Best chef, Mid-Atlantic:

Despite the strong showing, the D.C. region was shut out of some categories. No area bakeries were represented in the list of outstanding bakeries and no local restaurants were included in the categories of outstanding hospitality or outstanding wine and beverage program.

The James Beard Foundation nominates 20 semifinalists in each category and will narrow the lists down to five finalists on April 2. The winners will be announced at a ceremony at the Lyric Opera House in Chicago on June 16.

Last year, two D.C. chefs walked away with top awards.

Masako Morishita, executive chef at the rebooted Perry's in Adams Morgan, was named the nation's top emerging chef, while Michael Rafidi, of Albi, was named outstanding chef.
