One Week In ✨
Today marks one full week on my entire regimen, and I wanted to pause and reflect on how things are feeling so far.
Physically, the scale is down three pounds. I know that’s likely a mix of water and reduced inflammation, but it still feels encouraging. More importantly, my body feels calmer and less reactive. I’ve had no real side effects, aside from a little heartburn after a glass of wine on day two following my injection — nothing alarming and easily managed.
I stayed consistent with my routine this week:
✔️ All scheduled workouts completed
✔️ Sauna sessions twice
✔️ Regular stretching and recovery
Nutrition-wise, I was able to maintain a calorie deficit while still prioritizing high protein and adequate fuel, which feels like a big win. The constant “food noise” has been noticeably muted, although it does start to creep back in as the week goes on, but it’s so much more manageable and easier to stick to my plan by responding intentionally.
Emotionally, I’m feeling more like myself. My HRT has played a significant role in this — better sleep, improved mood, increased motivation, and a greater desire to be social again.
Today was my first follow-up appointment and second injection. Since everything has gone smoothly, we’re keeping my dose exactly where it is. I’m feeling curious and optimistic about how this next week unfolds.
I’m noticing a deeper sense of trust in my body. There’s less stress, less anxiety around my health and more confidence in the process. One week in, and I’m grateful — not just for progress, but for a noticable calmness.
Onward. 💛
