Just got the depo shot today and some lady was telling me how it would make me fat. I mentioned how I actually have control over my appetite…and that hunger pains are part of life. Come on ladies!? I mean yeah, hormones play a role in weight gain/loss, but seriously - have we forgotten that certain medications cause increases in appetite and thus most people lacking control would gain weight?! Not do to x but do an extraneous variable!? Such as excess calories? Anyway, end of rant.

For those of you wondering about my progress, I’ll tell you a few things that I’ve done - pretty simple stuff actually. Dropped my calories, increased my cardio (6-8 miles running a day). I lift a little bit less frequently. I have lost strength and considerable mass, but being the more endo-meso that I am naturally, along with the other losses I’ve also lost quite a bit of body fat…which has always been my #1 goal. I’ve also incorporated plyos into my workouts, more short sprints, jumping rope b/w sets, etc. I try never to stop moving while in the gym and that has definitely helped!
I have a ways to go still - I’m going to say about 8 lbs and I’ll be very very happy. Hopefully, at that point, les abs will finally be more defined!

Much Love and thanks for reading
