Week 24 - 5mg

I've been ill and off work this week so food is all over the place to be honest. I've been trying to prioritise protein and having some veg but cooking has been completely off my radar.

Yesterday:

B - black coffee

L - DH picked me up a very odd meal deal as I asked for high protein options. Prawn sandwich, a pepperami and a bottle of lucozade 🤣.

D - flatbread with falafel, avocado, hummus, kimchi and mixed seeds.

Today:

B - black coffee

L - peanut butter and marmite on toast with a cup of tea

D - a wrap with cheese, red pepper, sweetcorn, lettuce, tomato, onion.....and some chilli sauce so I could actually taste it.

B: protein yogurt with raspberries

L: chilli

D: home made chicken tikka masala and aloo gobi, square of dark choc

Week 61, day 1, 7.5mg, dose 5 (maintenance)
B: 2 sausages, 2 fried eggs, slice of black pudding, baked beans, toast
D: 3 spare ribs, cowboy caviar, Tesco salted caramel mini choc ice
S: an apple, salted caramel fibre bar
Usual supplements, green tea, 3 litres of water, 0% rum, yogi tea, Diet Coke

@GameOfJones hope you’re feeling a bit better x

B - coffee and 2 brioche and a pack of fruitella. OOOPS this was a mega fail since I usually don't eat breakfast.

L - chicken caesar sushi, large iced brown sugar latte

D - crispy chicken, rice and green beans

Everything else - orange ice lolly, 3 prunes, 2 apricots, handful of grapes, handful of pistachios.

DAMMMMMMN I ate today. Was like the old days. But not really, old days would be double the amount, but this was still a LOT.

@GameOfJones feel better soon!!

Week 61, day 2, 7.5mg, dose 4 (maintenance)
B: scrambled egg, feta, asparagus, smoked salmon
L: totally necessary Stilton and crackers, 2 easy peeler oranges

Think I’m stress eating after yesterday 😫

B: protein yogurt with 2 kiwis

L: chilli (finally finished it off), handful of cashews

D: turkey and courgette fritter type things, new potatoes in a slightly random pesto and a Persian style salad, square of dark choc

First week of maintenance done with no dramas, I am still on 7.5mg though and will see tomorrow whether I have gone up or down. Staying on 7.5mg for a few weeks to use up a 12.5mg pen, then will carry on reducing the dose and see how I feel / at what point panic sets in 😬

@gimmemounjaro well done!!

Week 61, day 3, 7.5mg, dose 4 (maintenance)

Today, I qualified as a Pilates instructor!! 🎉

Well done @IReallyNeedThisToWork that's amazing!

And thank you for the get well wishes, feeling much better now.

B - black coffee

L - BBQ at a friend's house. I had a burger, some new potatoes and corn on the cob. Plus three glasses of prosecco.

D - didn't fancy much so had three seeded crackers spread with hummus and some grapes.

B: protein yogurt and a kiwi

L: leftover chicken tikka with new pots and pepper salad

S: slices of ham, handful of cashews

D: warm black rice salad with chicken, red cabbage, pak choi, spring onions and almonds. 2 squares dark choc. Ooh, and a very rare but delicious glass of wine.

A hungry day today. I wonder whether just one of those days or if moving down to 7.5mg means that the days leading up to an injection are noticeably hungrier than those just after it. Going to a BBQ with a bunch of friends tomorrow so that will be a good test for the 7.5mg dose 😬

Ooh, congrats @IReallyNeedThisToWork 💪🥳

Good luck with maintenance @gimmemounjaro and very well done @IReallyNeedThisToWork im sure you’ll be excellent!

b- coffee, Greek yogurt with blueberries and honey. Was fat free but I think I’ll stick to full fat, it’s a nicer texture.

l- chicken wrap and corn on the cob from kfc. Was very nice! No sauce.

D - picky bits. Pizza and salad.

also a large iced brown sugar oat shaken espresso from Starbucks and a square of chocolate. And my usual prunes and apricots.

B: protein yogurt with raspberries

S: taste testing brownies and chocolate biscuit cake

L/D: bbq chicken and sausage with couscous salad, watermelon and feta salad, coleslaw, flatbread. Strawberries with a dollop of ice cream and aforementioned chocolatey things. Crisps and hummus. 3 x alcohol free beers since I was driving. All delicious but I might take a couple of days to recover before weighing again!

Mind you I am off to stay with the parents on Tuesday and that’s not the most diet friendly environment either 😬

B: decaf black coffee

L: 2 egg ham and mushroom omelette, protein yogurt with raspberries and strawberries

D: cod with a chorizo crust, new pots, green beans. Square of dark choc, small glass of shiraz.

Yesterday - week 61, day 4, 7.5mg, dose 4 (maintenance)
B: scrambled egg, feta, asparagus, smoked salmon
D: bbq - a chicken thigh, slice of pork belly, 2 slices of steak, a variety of salads
Usual supplements, green tea, 2 litres of water, more wine than I’m willing to own up to…

Today - week 61, day 5, 7.5mg, dose 4
Mounjaro vs hangover day! 😫

L - Chinese chicken, cottage cheese, beetroot and rice cakes

D - Chinese chicken rice stir fry

Snacks - protein water, a piece of chocolate, half a bag of Reeses peanuts (why- didn't even like them- just kept eating without thinking)

I’m thinking about the hobnobs 🤔 - I reckon they’re the first biscuits I’ve had in 14 months!!! 😱

Pretty impressive to stop at 3 chocolate hobnobs

And half a bag of Reese’s too @PearlsPearl

You’re right. Old me would have scoffed the lot even though I didn’t actually like them!

L - three ryvita topped with cottage cheese and mixed seeds

D - half a chicken pizza with peppers, onions and sweet potato wedges
