Another day in the gym, but in a body that feels so different. As an unintended consequence of my major weight loss, I lost my cycle. My caloric intake was super (way too) low, and my body understandably had to focus its energy on things other than reproduction, like keeping my heart beating lol, as I was dieting. So, I haven't had it since September of last year. I thought that if I increase my calories it would come back, but since I was seeing no signs, we were now heading into a dangerous territory of early-onset menopause. Oh no! In an attempt to figure out where we go from here with my doctors... We thought I could jump start my system by taking Progesterone for 2 weeks. In a sense, we are rebooting the system. Happily, it is working! I'm now starting to see signs that things are moving in a better direction, so so so good!! Ugh, hahaha. I do not complain about this...but MY GOODNESS! I gained 10 lbs so far from taking this pill. Oh my. All water weight and hopefully I can do something about it soon, but whyyyyy. This is so cruel haha. I guess this is a small example to say that this maintenance journey has-been very tough. I've been trying to work up towards having a healthy diet while maintaining what I've worked so hard to achieve... Keeping at my ideal body weight. Moments like this just adds to the frustration, but reveal how much I want to succeed in this journey. I'm happy to be healthier, which is amazing! It's encouraging to see my body adapting and working just as hard as I am to be its best self :). . . . #weightlosstransformatin #weightgoals #weightloss #weightlossinspiration #weightlossjournry #weight #dieting #weightstruggle #healthy #health #healthyhabits #healthierchoices #healthierme #birthday #excitedforthefuture #happy #weightmanagement #healthymindset #healthygoals #healthyliving #healthylife #healthylifestyle #motivation #weightlossmotivation #happy #funtimesahead #celebrate #positivemindset #positivethinking (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrvLzjwhhRv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lzgb0im3335c
