Well… here we are.
Week 5.
And honestly?
Not much has changed from last week.
The Reality Right Now
No big “wow” moment.No major shift.
Just… steady.
Which I’m learning is part of the process — even if it’s not the exciting part.
What
Has
Stayed the Same
- I’m still eating less
- I’m still not thinking about food all the time
- I’m still trying to stay consistent
So even though it doesn’t feel dramatic… something is happening.
Let’s Talk About This Mouthpiece 😬
Okay… we need to have a moment.
I got my sleep apnea mouthpiece.
And let me just say…
👉 I hate it.
I know it’s supposed to help.I know it’s important.
But right now?
It’s uncomfortable, it’s annoying, and I’m still trying to figure out how to sleep like a normal person with it.
Everything Else Going On
At this point I’ve got:
- increased GLP-1 dose
- the mouthpiece (that I’m not loving 😅)
- estrogen patch
So my body is probably just trying to keep up with all of this.
Energy & How I Feel
Some days I feel okay.Some days I feel… just okay.
Nothing terrible — just not the big boost I think I was expecting yet.
The Mental Side
This is still the part that gets me.
Because when things feel the same, it’s easy to start questioning everything.
But I keep reminding myself:
👉 this is week 5, not month 5
What I’m Focusing On
Right now:
- staying consistent
- giving my body time
- not overthinking every little thing
And maybe… learning to tolerate this mouthpiece 😅
Final Thoughts (Week 5)
This week wasn’t exciting.
But I didn’t quit.
And at this point?
That feels like the win.
