July 2025 — A sore back and a suggestion
A Wednesday afternoon in the lab. My friend suggested strength training. I discovered I was already strong, and I liked that.
August–September 2025 — Moving and losing
Strength training expanded into boxing, walking, jujutsu and Zumba. My weight dropped from approximately 115 kg to 105 kg, and weight loss became a goal.
October 2025–February 2026 — More ways to move
Pole dancing, Pilates, boxing and strength training. I reached approximately 95–96 kg and discovered that I liked variety, lying on my back, and hitting things.
March–August 2026 — The 90 kg plateau
Travel, reduced structured exercise and a more relaxed relationship with food. I maintained much of my progress without returning to restrictive eating.
2026 — Walking sparks a question
Long walks seemed to suppress my appetite. Curiosity about appetite regulation and GLP-1 led me to consider Mounjaro.
September 2026 — Getting help
I started Mounjaro at 2.5 mg, later progressing to 5 mg. Food noise reduced, and my weight began moving below 90 kg.
October 2026 — Designing movement around me
At 85.95 kg, my routine now centres on Reformer Pilates and yoga, with boxing still calling. I’m tracking strength, body composition, energy and recovery alongside weight.
