Some great weight loss this week! Not sure why. It may be because I did not have sushi and a poke bowl like last week. Or because I made smaller breakfasts for the weekdays due to lack of time. I still ate dark chocolate though, with some low-carb friendly (and homemade) fudge too! This week, I had to attend some training and lunch was offered. It was chicken, but of course there was the mandatory mashed potato in the plate, which I did not eat.
I recently received a book I ordered many weeks ago, "The UNHysterectomy", by Holly Bridges, a Canadian journalist and author. So far, it is an easy and interesting read as she tells stories about women who had to be advocates for their own health with heavy menstrual bleeding, whether or not they wanted a hysterectomy. It is a bit dated as it was published in 2012 and ulipristal acetate (Fibristal in Canada, Esmya in most countries) was not released yet as an drug that can reduce the size of fibroids. I never took Fibristal as no doctor ever prescribed it to me; however my sister may have taken it as she told me once that it did not work for her. This drug works like Lupron except that it does not cause menopause-like symptoms.
In my area, it is the calm after the storm: after some heavy snowfall yesterday, the temperature got colder and the sun is gloriously shining outside! It is a nice change from overcast weekends!
