Thursday 12th February – 5th Weigh-in



Ugh. Not a happy day today. After two really difficult fasts and a combined week’s deficit of 4282 cal I have only lost 0.4kg. Not good. My only excuse is that I am actually having to put up with TOTM (time of the month) for the first time in ages.




After a series of problems with my cycle in my early twenties I was given a Mirena coil (slow release hormone infused) and I have been supremely happy with it because my periods have virtually disappeared for the past ten years. I am a very happy woman, not having to deal with it every month. However, I am coming to the end of use for my second coil and I actually have to deal now (although to a lesser extent than without it) and I am not an easy woman at the best of times.




If anything I imagine this is more of an issue for my husband, he’s not had to put up with me when I’m grumpy, hormonal and nasty tempered. Poor guy, we met eight years ago and he’s never experienced me in full-on plate-throwing mode
