00:00:25
you all have been waiting for I um
00:00:28
wanted to make it like a one month
00:00:30
update but the way life be
00:00:33
lifing the way life be lifing thank
00:00:35
y'all for being patient with me um so
00:00:37
I'm just like I'm going to make it a six
00:00:38
week update yesterday I just entered my
00:00:41
seventh week technically so I can give
00:00:43
you guys an update basically on my full
00:00:46
first 6 weeks um on these injections um
00:00:50
if you already missed it I've done an
00:00:52
update on food like kind of like that I
00:00:54
eating a day or that I was that I was
00:00:56
eating a day I've done an update um
00:00:58
after my first pretty much two weeks and
00:01:00
now this is kind of like to piggy back
00:01:02
off of all of that um so first things
00:01:06
first I'm like where do I start um it's
00:01:09
funny yesterday I was like doing my
00:01:11
makeup and I looked so pretty and I was
00:01:13
going to like take the time to like do
00:01:14
the Vlog yesterday and of course I did
00:01:16
but one of the things I was doing my
00:01:18
makeup and I'm like I don't know can
00:01:19
y'all see it I was like my face is
00:01:21
slimming down or whatever I um I need to
00:01:26
see if I could do like a side by side of
00:01:28
maybe like from the video when when I
00:01:30
first started till
00:01:35
now but my face even though I still got
00:01:38
a little double cheriz here is
00:01:41
definitely slimming down so that has
00:01:43
been um really encouraging really nice
00:01:46
to see um one of the biggest things and
00:01:49
I wasn't like planning on starting here
00:01:51
but I will one of the biggest things
00:01:53
that I've noticed outside of the scale
00:01:56
outside of all of that stuff that has
00:01:59
been one of the biggest blessings being
00:02:02
on this injection and being on this
00:02:03
medication is way extremely less
00:02:09
inflammation so it's funny cuz there's a
00:02:12
couple followers or I mean a couple um
00:02:14
creators on Tik Tok that I follow that
00:02:16
talk about like their whole journey and
00:02:18
stuff like that one of them I know that
00:02:20
she says that it's cured her arthritis
00:02:23
and she's kind of young too which is is
00:02:24
which is
00:02:25
interesting um but it's all of those
00:02:28
things and so many of the problems that
00:02:31
we have the diseases the ailments the
00:02:35
whatever it is um come from inflammation
00:02:39
so if you go back or if you saw that
00:02:41
first video um of when I updated you
00:02:43
guys when I lost my first 10 pounds I
00:02:45
was saying I'm you know I'm pretty sure
00:02:47
that most of it um was water weight but
00:02:49
also inflammation and I really have been
00:02:52
like paying attention and noticing over
00:02:53
the last um couple of weeks just like
00:02:56
how my body feels when I'm when I wake
00:02:59
up in the morning how my body feels when
00:03:01
I'm just kind of like moving about like
00:03:02
I honestly I don't even remember the
00:03:05
last time that I had back pain but
00:03:07
before and I'm child 37 my birthday is
00:03:09
tomorrow so I should not be having crazy
00:03:12
aches and pains crazy back pain like I'm
00:03:14
still yet young um but a lot of that was
00:03:18
caused from the weight and the
00:03:19
inflammation so to to be down the amount
00:03:23
that I am now I'll share with you guys a
00:03:25
little bit later um and to just wake up
00:03:29
and feel like I can move my body I'm not
00:03:33
achy I'm not sore I'm not bones cracking
00:03:36
and all the things like I genuinely at
00:03:40
this point in time at my 6 weeks feel
00:03:42
like that has been one of the biggest
00:03:45
blessings so for that alone and I'm
00:03:48
going say this carefully even if I
00:03:50
didn't lose another pound but I still
00:03:52
hope to I got I got ways to go I'm not
00:03:54
even halfway there um just for that
00:03:56
alone this has all been worth it so if
00:03:59
you suffer from any aches and pains
00:04:02
inflammation um arthritis even anything
00:04:05
like that this is something to consider
00:04:08
and this is definitely um that was
00:04:10
something that I didn't think would
00:04:11
would be a big uh change but I noticed
00:04:14
it
00:04:15
110% so that is a update okay so what
00:04:19
else do you guys want to know about
00:04:20
y'all want to know if I've had any more
00:04:23
side effects I'm assuming that's what
00:04:25
you want to know the answer is I've had
00:04:29
periods
00:04:30
of um feeling like slightly
00:04:33
nauseous but nothing to the extreme of
00:04:36
what I anticipated and I think that a
00:04:39
lot of the the small doses of of nausea
00:04:42
that I've experienced have been more
00:04:44
attributed to the fact that I think
00:04:46
that's like a hunger cue um which I hear
00:04:48
a lot of people say that like if you're
00:04:50
feeling nauseous that's probably your
00:04:51
body telling you that you're you're
00:04:52
actually hungry or you need to eat um
00:04:55
and with this uh being on trapti being
00:04:58
on mararo this medication I um you know
00:05:02
it suppresses your appetite so I
00:05:03
honestly have to like today um it's
00:05:06
almost it was pretty much 2:30 when I
00:05:08
had I just ate for the first time I did
00:05:11
get up this morning and I got um a
00:05:14
coffee like a protein coffee so first of
00:05:16
all shout out to Smoothie King because
00:05:19
Smoothie King has this I'm trying to
00:05:21
think of the name I think it's called
00:05:24
coffee it's like coffee protein high
00:05:27
protein almond mocha you can't miss it
00:05:29
um on their menu um and it's a high
00:05:32
protein like ice coffee slushy type of
00:05:34
thing it's really good um and I get that
00:05:37
whenever I can kind of like Get over to
00:05:39
the Smoothie King near me um and I get
00:05:41
that specifically because number one
00:05:42
it's Caffe caffeine caffeinated and
00:05:45
number two it um has a lot of protein it
00:05:47
has like 30 grams of protein which for
00:05:50
me in these next few weeks that is legit
00:05:53
my main focus is getting in enough
00:05:55
protein um but all that is to say like I
00:05:57
really have to genuinely like force my
00:05:59
myself to eat sometimes so I think that
00:06:01
sometimes the nausea or the nausea
00:06:04
feelings um come from that I'm at the
00:06:07
bus stop my um I just took Logan around
00:06:10
his bus comes first my son and then now
00:06:12
I'm back at the bus stop waiting for my
00:06:13
daughter so I just saw one of his little
00:06:15
friends wave to him um but yeah so the
00:06:18
hunger cues can be I mean the the nausea
00:06:21
can be a hunger queue other than that I
00:06:24
have not had any constipation and I
00:06:27
think um I do already kind of naturally
00:06:30
drink a lot of water so I think
00:06:31
sometimes the people who may suffer from
00:06:33
constipation are probably not just
00:06:35
drinking enough enough water I have had
00:06:37
periods of time where I and this is so
00:06:39
TMI y'all so just y'all y'all family at
00:06:43
this point this is TMI I have had
00:06:46
periods where and I don't know it could
00:06:47
have been maybe because of something
00:06:49
that I ate or drinking because I am kind
00:06:50
of back to drinking socially again um
00:06:54
where I've had like slight diarrhea like
00:06:57
loose vowels not like crazy crazy loose
00:07:00
but I'm just like I might need to look
00:07:02
at getting like some Fiber Gummies or
00:07:04
figuring out how I can increase my fiber
00:07:07
because that's one of the only things
00:07:09
that I'm just like I need to kind of
00:07:10
adjust that um and it also could be I'm
00:07:13
just I'm not eating enough I will say
00:07:15
that so the fact that I'm not eating
00:07:17
enough I'm already not gaining probably
00:07:19
a lot of fiber from the things that I
00:07:21
would have eaten before even if they
00:07:23
were bad so that is it though no other
00:07:27
real side effects um I did have a couple
00:07:31
not a couple I'm trying to think if it
00:07:32
was in my arm or my stomach I think it
00:07:35
was in my arm maybe when I a couple
00:07:37
weeks ago did an injection and it just
00:07:40
felt like I don't know like a little
00:07:42
tender in that spot um for like just
00:07:45
like a day after um but still nothing
00:07:48
else and somebody I don't I don't
00:07:51
remember your name but thank you for
00:07:52
your comment someone else um just a
00:07:54
couple days ago commented on one of my
00:07:56
last videos and she was like thank you
00:07:58
like finally somebody else who is saying
00:08:00
that they're not having like a bunch of
00:08:01
side effects because so many people who
00:08:04
are on this journey talk all about the
00:08:05
side effects and the things that they've
00:08:07
gone through and I'm just like am I a
00:08:08
unicorn because I I haven't had any of
00:08:11
that experience now I will say I can't
00:08:14
attest to obviously what my journey will
00:08:16
look like when I increase doses um
00:08:20
because you know more side effects can
00:08:22
possibly come I'm sure but as of now um
00:08:25
that's where I am and that's a good
00:08:27
segue into the next um conversation so
00:08:29
this whole entire time um of my 6 weeks
00:08:32
going now into my seventh um I have been
00:08:35
solely on uh 2.5 milligrams um I have
00:08:39
not jumped up I've been on this the
00:08:40
whole time that is the starter dose and
00:08:43
I've seen pretty good success I've been
00:08:45
really honestly trying to like just feel
00:08:48
out the next couple weeks because I
00:08:50
think um my dosage that I have in the
00:08:53
the vial will run out in 2 weeks or so
00:08:55
so I'm really using this next week to be
00:08:57
the determining factor of if I want to
00:08:59
move up or not um I'm not one of those
00:09:02
like I don't want to move up just for
00:09:03
the sake of moving up because I also
00:09:05
don't want to lose an excessive amount
00:09:08
of weight really really fast like
00:09:10
obviously I'm already losing weight at a
00:09:12
rapid Pace but I don't want to lose so
00:09:14
much weight that like it's just drastic
00:09:16
my skin starts sagging um you know all
00:09:20
the things so I'm trying to be I'm okay
00:09:23
with a slightly slow but steady Pace um
00:09:26
I would like to bump up eventually but
00:09:30
I'm just trying to fill out if I'm still
00:09:32
okay at 2.5 or if I do feel like I need
00:09:35
to bump up now I will say many people
00:09:36
say don't bump up until you hit like a
00:09:38
stall which a stall is not losing
00:09:40
anything I think for maybe like two or 3
00:09:42
weeks um so I'm not even there yet I've
00:09:44
been continuously losing even though
00:09:46
it's not at as rapid of a pace right now
00:09:49
as it was in the beginning um so I'm I'm
00:09:52
trying to fill that out I definitely
00:09:53
obviously will update you guys when I do
00:09:54
bump up to 5 Mig but as of now this
00:09:58
whole entire time I have been on uh
00:10:00
2.5 um so let's see so the question
00:10:05
y'all waiting for how much have I lost
00:10:08
as of now so um if my math is mathing I
00:10:13
am down 16 lbs I started at 228 227
00:10:20
228 um and I'm now 212 213
00:10:25
212 I was 212 the other I still y'all
00:10:28
have a bad habit of getting on the scale
00:10:30
dang there every day um so the lowest
00:10:34
that I've been in the last couple days
00:10:36
was 212 I think yesterday when I hopped
00:10:38
on the scale I was 213 I was like I'm
00:10:39
not counting that y'all let me know if
00:10:41
you do that too I'm like I'm not
00:10:43
counting that I'm still 212 in my mind
00:10:45
okay um 212 so 16 lbs in 6 weeks so
00:10:52
obviously like I said y'all have seen my
00:10:53
first video or one of my earlier videos
00:10:55
where I said I lost 10 pounds in 10 days
00:10:57
we'll just we'll just round it up in say
00:10:58
two weeks
00:11:00
um so since then 6 lb in 4 weeks right
00:11:05
that's the math 6 lb in 4 weeks not
00:11:08
terrible that is is that 2 lounds a week
00:11:11
that's a pound and some change a week
00:11:14
right my M I'm tired okay I'm my my
00:11:17
brain don't expect me to be a
00:11:19
mathematician right now um so yeah I
00:11:24
like I said some days I'm like oh my God
00:11:26
like I'm so excited cuzz overall the
00:11:28
total number
00:11:29
has been amazing like that has been um a
00:11:33
game changer completely like I see the
00:11:34
difference in my body I see the
00:11:37
difference in my face like I told y'all
00:11:39
um but now that the progress is much
00:11:43
slower than it was when I first started
00:11:45
for those first two weeks that little
00:11:48
piece of it can be a little discouraging
00:11:51
but not to the point where like I said I
00:11:53
don't I don't want to just move up doses
00:11:55
just to move up and I still am really
00:11:57
happy with it because um some people
00:12:00
their first month their first 6 weeks
00:12:02
don't lose anything or maybe a pound or
00:12:05
two or four so the fact that I've lost
00:12:07
16 is crazy and I'm so grateful and
00:12:10
thankful for it my goal um I started
00:12:14
like I said at 228 my goal would be to
00:12:17
be 190 185 at the lowest that is where I
00:12:21
was when I was like really really happy
00:12:24
with my body really like toned and just
00:12:28
felt like that was a good size to be at
00:12:31
like 190 I was a little thick
00:12:34
185 like just got me got me down um so
00:12:38
that is my goal so y'all could do the
00:12:40
math or I'll insert whatever that math
00:12:42
is here cuz I can't do the math right
00:12:44
now of how much more I have to go um so
00:12:47
like I said I'm not quite halfway there
00:12:50
but um just so so thankful and um yeah
00:12:54
that is how much I've lost so
00:12:56
far so also to update you guys as far as
00:12:59
the injection sites I'm trying to like
00:13:01
think of things that you guys have
00:13:02
talked to me about in the comments and
00:13:04
the way that y'all have been commenting
00:13:05
and interacting has been like just
00:13:07
giving me life so I appreciate y'all so
00:13:09
much for just all the comments and well
00:13:12
wishes and updating me on on your
00:13:14
journey because that's I love it I want
00:13:16
to create a community so even the way
00:13:18
that some of you guys are like hey like
00:13:19
just asking questions to others in the
00:13:22
comments like please continue that cuz
00:13:23
it just makes me so so happy um but what
00:13:28
was about to say okay I had to go back
00:13:31
and figure out what I was just talking
00:13:32
about the injection sights so the the um
00:13:36
appropriate injection sites that you can
00:13:38
inject yourself are the back of your arm
00:13:41
your thighs um and your stomach like
00:13:44
within I think just a couple inches from
00:13:46
your belly button so far at this 6 weeks
00:13:49
I have not done my thighs yet I don't
00:13:52
know why the thighs are scaring me the
00:13:55
most I'm not like scared to do my thighs
00:13:58
but I'm just like from a lot of the
00:14:00
other people that I've followed on this
00:14:02
journey um I've kind of seen the same
00:14:05
thing and I've also seen that your thigh
00:14:08
and read I did read this your thigh
00:14:10
absorbs the injection and the medication
00:14:13
a lot slower so I'm like I don't want it
00:14:17
to be
00:14:18
slow I want to feel it like right away
00:14:21
um so I have only done my stomach and my
00:14:24
arms I've been rotating so I'll do like
00:14:26
what did I just do yesterday yesterday I
00:14:28
just my stomach so next Thursday when I
00:14:31
inject I'll do my arm then next one I'll
00:14:33
do the other side of my stomach then the
00:14:34
next one I'll do the other side of my
00:14:35
arm and I've just honestly been rotating
00:14:37
in those places and again I've seen
00:14:40
progress so I feel like I have no reason
00:14:42
to try my thigh a lot of people say you
00:14:44
absolutely want to make sure you're
00:14:46
constantly rotating your injection SES
00:14:48
because that'll help um like if you even
00:14:50
are hitting like a stall or anything
00:14:51
like that you want to make sure that
00:14:53
it's not because of just maybe your body
00:14:56
getting used to the the injection site
00:14:58
that you're so comfortable with so I'm
00:15:01
pleased with not doing my thigh but if I
00:15:04
do do it I'll I'll let you guys know but
00:15:06
so far that has not been my Ministry
00:15:09
that has not been my
00:15:11
Ministry and then just a couple other
00:15:13
things um to update you guys be
00:15:15
transparent so in the beginning um in
00:15:17
those first two weeks I told you guys
00:15:18
that I was doing great with working out
00:15:20
and just eating like
00:15:23
properly I'm not going to lie I haven't
00:15:27
in the last few weeks and I need to do
00:15:29
Another Life Update video on a separate
00:15:31
topic because I had about a week and
00:15:34
some change um the week from Hell A
00:15:38
couple weeks ago when I went through um
00:15:41
and I think I did maybe tell you guys in
00:15:42
another video but I went through uh the
00:15:44
root canal of Terror and I had an absis
00:15:49
and an infection and all the things and
00:15:52
then at the end of that week my car got
00:15:54
tow like it was a week and I feel like
00:15:58
since then especially with um my mouth
00:16:01
and not being able like I was still able
00:16:02
to eat but I wasn't able to kind of you
00:16:05
know just I didn't feel normal cuz I had
00:16:07
to constantly chew on this side and it
00:16:08
was just so much um I feel like ever
00:16:10
since then I have not even been focused
00:16:12
on eating properly um like I said
00:16:16
protein I know 100% sure I need to do
00:16:19
better with increasing my protein and I
00:16:21
really just need to buckle down and
00:16:23
maybe I'll do this the next time I get
00:16:24
paid um cuz it sucks that like sometimes
00:16:27
eating the healthier things like getting
00:16:28
protein bars and even buying like the
00:16:31
protein shakes and more fruits and
00:16:33
veggies and all like eating healthier is
00:16:35
more expensive and your girls on a
00:16:37
budget right now okay I appreciate y'all
00:16:39
we we working on getting your sis
00:16:41
monetized okay we hit 1 th000
00:16:43
subscribers so that is amazing but other
00:16:46
than that I'm working on my 4,000
00:16:48
watched hours so I can be monetized and
00:16:50
another streaming income would be
00:16:52
appreciated um but all that's to say I
00:16:55
really like the next time I get paid
00:16:56
need to go to the grocery store and get
00:16:59
like some protein bars protein shakes um
00:17:02
even just get like some salmon some some
00:17:05
fish and some things that I know that
00:17:06
are higher in protein and get back to
00:17:08
meal prepping I will say when I like eat
00:17:10
out and stuff um if I'm at work like
00:17:13
I'll try to be mindful get something
00:17:14
like Chipotle like a bowl um or like a
00:17:17
wrap like a chicken Caesar wrap or
00:17:18
different things like that um still even
00:17:21
with that like not finishing I'm not
00:17:22
finishing the whole thing like I used to
00:17:24
um which is nice but um that is pretty
00:17:29
much where I am with that so got to get
00:17:31
back on track out and working out I have
00:17:33
not worked out in maybe 3 weeks at this
00:17:36
point like I said especially because of
00:17:37
all the stuff going on with my tooth I
00:17:39
was just like so in a funk and mad and
00:17:42
pissed off with everything that was
00:17:43
going on I had no I wasn't doing
00:17:45
anything okay um so I got to get back in
00:17:49
the gym because I do see like I said I
00:17:51
see my body coming down and um see
00:17:53
certain areas you know see see the
00:17:56
progress of the 16 lbs but I'm like I
00:17:59
really want to tone up like I don't want
00:18:01
to have any saggy skin or as little as
00:18:04
possible um and just in general like
00:18:07
just to get back to building that muscle
00:18:09
because I'm sure a lot of the weight
00:18:11
that you lose when you're doing this
00:18:13
process is muscle but I don't want to
00:18:15
you know just be Skin and Bones like I
00:18:18
want to be toned um and and feel fit
00:18:21
