Week 3 - Weigh in and thoughts

Well, the third week is done and showing good progress.
I'd put it down to mostly water weight for the moment given it's early dosage levels still.

This also marks the final dosage at 0.5mg, titration up to 1mg for next dose.

Overall thoughts:
The first few days after injection gastric emptying is at it's slowest.
Improves over the next few days.
Nausea is really mild so far - usually only after a bigger meal.
Still feeling a bit 'warmer' than usual and break out sweating a bit quicker.

Total weight loss so far: -2.10kg 

Overall week score: 7/10

Initial weight: 88.15kg
Weigh in weight: 86.85kg
Weight change: -1.30kg

Peptide(s): semaglutide
Dosage: 0.5mg
Injection site: right side, abdomen
Injection method: multi-use click pen

Observations:
Appetite suppression is huge - I am really only eating at set times because it's time to eat.
Not because I am hungry - the biggest thing so far is nighttime snacking is really heavily reduced.
While I'm not tracking calories, I'm probably around 1300 - 1500 per day and again purely because I am making sure to eat regularly. Very likely could skip eating all day till dinner without much drama.

Anecdotal observations:
Body temp is still higher than usual, find a brisk walk has me sweating quickly.
Not a bad thing but not something I'd expected.

Food style:
More of a traditional eating style this last week with a bit more fibre included.
Still higher in protein and lower in sugary carbs where possible.
This week included a treat from the bakery even though it left me very full afterwards.

Exercise:
Circus (Fire and Flow practice + Fire breathing session)
Walking aiming for around 5000 steps this last week.
The next week I am trying to ramp up to a daily 10,000 step target.

Week 2 - Weigh in and thoughts

The second week is now done and dusted, time for review and some stats.
Slow blog post because I just got busy...slack. (So slack it's almost week 3 dosage time!)
Each week I'll update the same detail to keep a running track of progress.

Overall thoughts:
Still some significant gastric emptying slowness, then suddenly not.
Food wise was ok, exercise was limited.
No issues injecting from the pep pen this time around.

Overall week score: 6/10

Initial weight: 88.95kg
Weigh in weight: 88.15kg
Weight change: -0.80kg

Peptide(s): semaglutide
Dosage: 0.5mg
Injection site: right side, abdomen
Injection method: multi-use click pen

Observations:
Initial good appetite suppression and reduction of food noise.
Intermittent nausea (dizzy and feeling a bit 'bleh') mostly after food.
Food intake significantly reduced but no issues with energy levels.
Additional fibre has helped with gastric emptying delays.
Also moved away from more Keto style to mixed low carb and seems better.

Anecdotal observations:
Body temp is still really sensitive to heat sources.
Finding I get hot much quicker and sweat more.
Still monitoring, not alarming, not a concern.
Just an observation.

Food style:
Mostly low carb / high protein with limited sugar.
Changed to more fibrous diet with a few more carbs but still very low carb.

Exercise:
Very low this week - mostly just walking.
Missed circus with a bit of stomach upset.

Week 1 - Weigh in and thoughts

The first week is now done and dusted, time for review and some stats.
Each week I'll update the same detail to keep a running track of progress.

Overall thoughts:
I was nervous to mix, and self-inject for the first time, but it went mostly ok.
(More on what didn't go great in another post down the track)
Limited side effects, good progress, felt good most of the week.
Some periods of nausea but passed fairly quickly.
No significant issues would have liked a bit more exercise in the week but start small.
Food choices could have been a bit cleaner to maximise benefits.

Overall week score: 7/10

Initial weight: 90.20kg
Weigh in weight: 88.95kg
Weight change: -1.25kg

Peptide(s): semaglutide
Dosage: 0.5mg
Injection site: right side, abdomen
Injection method: multi-use click pen

Observations:
Initial good appetite suppression and reduction of food noise.
Intermittent nausea (dizzy and feeling a bit 'bleh') mostly after food.
Food intake significantly reduced but no issues with energy levels.
Very delayed gastric emptying - needed to bring additional fibre to get things moving.

Anecdotal observations:
I felt more temperature sensitivity, particularly outside heat.
This caused me to sweat far quicker than normal and feel a bit of nausea.
Unsure if this is related to semaglutide or something else so will monitor.

Food style:
Mostly low carb / high protein with limited sugar.
Changed to more fibrous diet and added some apricots to get things moving.

Exercise:
2 x kettlebell workouts
1 x Circus flow lesson
1 x Sauna (level 10 heat, steam sauna, 15 minutes)
