Week Four: Bouncing Back

29/01/2024

After a small loss last week, I was back on track this week. My total loss for this week is 1.1kg, so a good week.

My total loss so far is 5.8kg, which is 5.15% of my starting weight. While I have bounced back this week it has not been without its struggles. 

Work this week has been the busiest it has been since i started this job, we have more jobs then we know what to do with and the technicians are booked up for weeks, so trying to juggle everything has been stressful and i have been especially cranky. 

It has taken some mental strength in addition to the stress to not reach for the bad food this week. I have consumed all of my hidden keto chocolates this week, while this has not had an effect on my weight loss and state of ketosis, it means i am going to have to replenish them… 🙁

This weekend has also seen me get my period for the first time in almost 6 years. I had been on the injection for over 5 years for contraception and decided last year that I needed to take a break from it and let my body take a break from the hormones and other stuff that is in the injection. It has taken almost a year for my body to remove everything and start to regulate. 

This explained my crankiness this week and my sweet tooth cravings. Now I just need to ride the wave and see how my body decides it wants to deal with this. 

Let's see what next week will bring.
