Howdy!
This week starts with a 2lb weight gain, I’m afraid. But I’m not troubled by it.
Weight loss is not a simple downhill slope. It has ups and downs, stops and starts… all part of the process. I don’t think there’s any particular reason for it - I’m still in a calorie deficit, still moving more. I think that sometimes it is a case of the body adjusting and holding on to its resources, waiting to see if you quit - it’s just a matter of ploughing on until the body accepts the situation and releases more resources.
I also see on my body composition scales that my water levels, skeletal muscle and protein levels have all increased a bit. All of that, coupled with some mild constipation, is enough to sway the scales in the wrong direction.
Strangely enough, I feel trimmer - and my family noted that my weight loss is visible over the weekend. Overall, it’s not worth stressing over 2lbs!
Mounjaro symptom-wise, I have been a bit constipated. This is nothing unusual - but I think I need to increase my water intake and try and get a bit more fibre. Easy fixes.
I have had a couple of migraines in the last week - that has meant fewer trips to the gym and a couple of very lazy days. However, I have managed to get a lot of steps in thanks to having to go to the office. I was feeling better yesterday, so it was back to the gym and a lovely 10k step walk in the sunshine. I actually think my muscles benefited from a few days rest. Sometimes you just have to listen to your body and go with the flow. Rest when you need to, move when you can.
Next Monday will mark 6 months since starting this mission to undo years of morbid obesity and get diabetes under control. I have come a long way in those six months - that’s what it’s all about, the long game.
I hope you all have a great week. Thanks as always for all of your support - and apologies for being hopeless with replies and engagement on other threads.
