Week 3 and 4 89kgs 14 st

 This has been a mental challenge as much as anything else.  I know that in the first month you should manage your expectations and be realistic on how much if any weight you will lose, but hey ho we all expect a miracle don't we?

So last week-end I was thinking it's not working because I was not losing any weight. I was looking forward to going up à dose so that I could get à move on.  Then as the week went by I suddenly realised I was making healthier choices.  It wasn't perfect but more often than not they were good choices. 

I don't really think that I lost anything in week 3 but I do believe that I was making healthier choices.

Exercise has been a bit of a no no.  I'm feeling quite tired.  I'm not sure if it is because of the meds or I'm just tired but I didn't feel like walking and my bike is missing a wheel.😒

Also last week I didn't take the shot until Sunday because of the trip back from the UK.  I decided to  move it all forward a day and to take the shot today (Saturday).  I did the shot into my upper left arm whereas my previous shots had been into my belly.  Some say this makes a difference but we shall see.  This was my 4th shot so as normal I twisted until the 1 came up in the window.  There was quite a lot left in the pen so I clicked on about 10 more clicks and injected that.  I wish now I had got some diabetic needles and I could have measured to see how much was left.  I will try and get some on Monday. 

The biggest news is that I weighed this morning and I was 89 kgs.  So 2 ks in a month.  Not so spectacular.  I have been debating continuing on 2.5ml but I think I should go up to 5ml.
I am also trying to drink more water.  My goal is 3 of my water bottles a day.  That's 2.25 litres plus teas and coffees.  I was hoping the wine noise would continue to be absent but it comes and goes and my mind overrides the thought not to have one.  Maybe next week on 5ml it will go.

Week 5 and dose increase - 89kgs 14 st

 Gosh this is so tough.  I read all these people who are losing shed loads of weight and have no food noise and have to force themselves to eat.  If only! I have learned a saying whilst on the FB grou0s and that is 'Comparison is the theif of joy'.  This is so true.  I'll tell you something else that is the their of joy...l the bloody scales.  There is nothing more guaranteed to make you feel like crying than that square foot of glass.  But hey ho it is what it is. So today is the first of the 5mg dose.  I have to admit I am scared and really i had planned to take it yesterday but kept putting it off.  This morning I knew I had to do it and so I did the full 5ml into my belly.  I had been toying with the idea of doing a 3/4 dose but I am paying all this money to lose weight and it needs to bloody happen, otherwise it's just a waste of time and money.  There is still some liquid in the 2.5ml pen and I feel passed off that I might hav...

Week 6 - 5mg - 88.3kgs 13 st 12lb Read this often!!

 It's not exactly going fast.  I find it so disheartening when I read the massive losses people are having on the lower dose and on this dose but in only a couple of weeks.  It is what it is.  I am not exercising but I am so fucking tired all the time. I don't seem to have the energy for exercise.  I am trying to be careful about calorie intake and also protein but maybe I am not as careful as I could be.  I am not starving and I am trying to make this a way of eating that is sustainable.  I don't want to be not eating bread for the rest of my life.  If I want a bit of bread then I can have it after of course considering how the day is going. I weighed myself 2 days ago and I was 87.2kgs.  OMG I wanted to cry.  Sadly it didn't last as you can see from the numbers at the top.  I do reckon that alcohol is something which affects my weight loss.  I have not drunk wine and only had spirits with water.  Either vodka or spiced r...

Week 2 - 90 kgs 14 st 2lbs

 Week 2 Last week was quite surprising as I really had no side effects but also didn't have any positive effects like food noise reducing.   Well I don't think I did.   I did eat more healthily though.  I ate what I wanted and had bread and chocolate but not in excess and I think am thinking about food differently.   A couple of times I have left food on my plate, and a couple of times I have thrown food away where normally I would have forced myself to finish whatever was on my plate and I would definitely have put it in the fridge for later.  The scales have gone down but as they are mechanical scales it's hard to say exactly how much.  Today I took a photo of the scales so that I can compare. I think I have lost 2lbs but that is fine because at no time was I feeling like I was on a diet or deprived.
