My weight loss got a literal shot in the ass this week. I saw the doctor on Tuesday and told him that I hadn't been losing weight as fast and so he started me on the next thing. It is an injection of three things your body makes anyway that help the liver break down fat. I'm not sure what they are but people have been asking me so I'll find out. It seems to be helping because, not only had my weight loss slowed down, I was getting that funny stuck feeling in my body that signals my weight loss stalling out entirely. Since the shot, things seem to have loosened up. The stuck feeling is hard to explain. It just feels like something stuck in my middle. I get another shot next week so we'll continue to see how it goes.
I'm laying off running today because my knees are a little sore and I'm also just weary. I want to be super careful of my joints while my weight is still so high. So, I'm going to relax this morning, maybe do a few errands. Tomorrow, Stef and I are planning to ride the tandem up to the Lowell Folk Festival. It's only about 22 miles from her house. The team car may or may not pick us up there. It depends on how we feel, what the family's plans are and how hot it is. I'm looking forward to it!

You definitely have some endocrine malfunction. I just can't believe that at the calories you consume, and with the calories that you burn via biking, that losing weight is such a long, difficult road. You are quite a trooper in this effort though, and I certainly admire you for it. Love, Letitia
ReplyDeleteIt's been a real pain in my life. I'm just glad to have a doctor who's actually helping me even though it costs a fortune.
