I've been doing really well on Zep! I started April 15th at 362. Last week i was at 320.

​

This week was rough. I moved houses, my routine is thrown off, my stupid menstrual cycle decided that today was the day to start after 10 months of not having a cycle. (Due to iud, not abnormal for me). To top it off my scale broke during my move and I had to get a new one. Today was shot day and I only weigh the morning of shot day and according to new scale I GAINED 9 LBS.

​

​

I know i did not really gain 9 lbs, I know water, stress, hormones, and the new scale are all factors. But I was already feeling crappy because of all the shenanigans this week, it was just the cherry on top. I would take measurements but I know I am bloated and it would probably not be a good read.

​

I am just salty. I don't live by the scale, but it is still a sting getting a bad read, on top of being hormonal and cranky.

​

I just needed to vent for a minute. Thanks!

I decided to walk to the grocery store this morning. I only need 2 things, it is a mile away from my home. I left 30 minutes before it opened...I got here in 15! I am doing laps around the parking lot as I wait for them to open.

Its crazy that a little over a month ago I was huffing and puffing getting from the car in to the store. This. Medication. Is. Magic.

Edit to add: i made it home in 12 minutes and used my grocery bag as a weight for biceps curls. Who am I??

I was able to bend all the way down to the bottom of the washing machine without my belly getting in the way. Usually I have grabbers to get the socks out of the bottom. Didn't need them!
