Shedding the weight

I recored my voice last week to document my changes on T.  I'm going to do it every week or 2 for awhile.  However, I can't seem to find a way to post them on here.  It's quite frustrating.  I have one more idea that I'll try, but I'm about ready to give up.

Anyways.  Things are going well.  I'm noticing a few things already that are slight changes/adjustments I'm attributing to the T.
I have a slightly decreased appetite.  I am finding it easier to eat smaller portions, and to stop myself from eating "too much" and indulging in extras.  That's a blessing, for sure!
I've also noticed a slight increase in my energy.  I don't second guess getting up, going, moving or doing.  I have always felt like being active, and being busy, but my weight detered me.  In the past, it was easy to convince myself to stay put or I'd feel pained and strained after exurcison.  Recently, I find myself not hesitating long enough to consider that; I just do it.  It's a really refreshing and energizing feeling.  (Though, my back is hurting tonight from hefting this weight after Lucy today.)

I'm going to set myself a schedule tomorrow for getting to the gym.  I'm going to use this push of energy in my favor.  I'm aiming for 3-4 days at the YMCA.  It'll probably be 3 for now.  I'm also considering (and this is a BIG stretch) trying to run 2 times a week.  Just a little.  A short jog/run around the block here.  I'd like to build a tolerance up and I think it will put an edge on my weight loss. My thought at this point is to use the "Couch to 5k" program for that, just low key.

I'll keep you updated on my progress.  Any recommendations are appreciated.  :)

"Moving on up ..."

Could I really be feeling something?  Already?

I had my first shot of testosterone yesterday.  Yahoo!!!
My logical brain is telling me that I shouldn't be feeling any different yet.  I know the effects of the testosterone will take longer than 24 hrs and that I'll have mild changes at first.  And yet .......

My throat hurts.  It's is scratchy and achy, but to the touch doesn't feel swollen.  I could be getting sick, but ...

Be damned logic ...
