Argh! Weight loss just isn’t calories…
It’s probably the insulin, but man, I’ve done everything right this week:
Exercised 5 times in the week, cardio 40 minutes most days. Had to quit on Friday after 20 minutes + weights because blood sugar was too low. Weights 3 times too.
Did real good on food each day.
Hormones aren’t a problem because I’ve been on depo prevera for over 10 years.
The only good news on this is that I was wearing a size smaller pair of jeans yesterday than I had been.
Just flat argh!
I’d say the biggest difference is that I’ve been waking up to go to the bathroom almost everynight and have been doing some coughing, which is usually a sign of gastric reflux for me.
