Retatrutide vlog: Hardware Failure & Booking the Next Dexa (Day 24)

Day 24: Upper Body Density, Equipment Malfunctions & Future Data Points Today is Day 24 of daily vlogging my retatrutide weight loss journey. It is Friday, and motivation was running a little low this morning. Glucose & Fat Mobilization: My fasted glucose was 94 this morning, which is higher than my usual low-to-mid 80s. I intentionally had no carbs past breakfast yesterday, so this spike isn't food-induced. I believe this is evidence of the HGH working to mobilize fat through the liver (increasing insulin sensitivity issues temporarily). It sounds bad, but for fat loss, it is actually a sign the protocol is working. Hardware Failure: I had a literal hardware failure at the gym today. My cheap watch band popped right off during the workout. It’s a good reminder that sometimes you get what you pay for. Dexa Scan Booked: I checked the clinic schedule last night and officially booked my next Dexa scan for mid-February (Valentine's Day weekend). This creates a perfect data endpoint. I am running this HGH block for 12 weeks to compare it directly against my previous 12-week block with Tesamorelin. The goal is to see which compound resulted in better visceral fat reduction. Workout: Upper body density day. I felt flat and irritable, but I got the work done. 4-5 movements, got in, got out.
