Retatrutide Vlog: Mid-Week Scale Peek, Fasting Logistics & Supply Chain Update (Day 34)

Day 34: Mid-Week Scale Peek, Fasting Logistics & Supply Chain Shifts TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro: Day 34, Week 29 & Stats Card 1:37 Sleep Stats: Restorative despite Low REM 2:28 Glucose & Diet: Skipping the Prick & Carb Strategy 4:05 Work Logistics: The "Fairlife Fast" 4:45 Post-Workout: Busy Gym & Sweat Equity 5:12 The Scale Sneak Peek: Breaking the Rules 6:55 Physique Check: Upper Abs & Deflated Blur 7:45 Testing Update: Moving on from Finnrick 9:58 Logistics Update: Alternate Shipping & FedEx Handoff Today is Day 34 of daily vlogging my retatrutide weight loss journey. It's Friday, meaning tomorrow is the official weekly check-in, but I decided to break my own rules this morning regarding the scale. We are wrapping up Week 29 with some interesting data on sleep composition, a change in my testing protocol for future kits, and a logistical update on the latest shipment. Sleep & Recovery: Forced myself to bed on time and got 6 hours and 50 minutes of sleep. While I woke up 5 minutes before my 4 AM alarm (the most annoying way to wake up), the sleep was restorative. The composition was odd—only 45 minutes of REM but a solid 1 hour 45 minutes of Deep Sleep. I feel lubricated and ready to go, despite the tracker data. Protocol Update: * Retatrutide: 12mg weekly. * HGH: 5IU nightly. * GHK-Cu: 2mg daily. * Testosterone: 150mg Test Cypionate weekly. Workout & Diet Strategy: * Gym: Woke up at 4 AM and hit Planet Fitness by 5 AM. It was busier than usual, requiring some waiting for machines, but I got a great sweat in. * Nutrition: Skipping the glucose check today as I feel regulated. Post-gym meal includes ~100g of carbs to fuel recovery. * Logistics: Due to work requiring travel between buildings, I’m doing a modified fast until I get home—utilizing Fairlife protein shakes to bridge the gap (liquid protein hits differently than solid food on Retatrutide). The Scale Sneak Peek: I don't usually weigh myself daily because fluctuations drive me crazy, but I stepped on the scale this morning out of curiosity. The result? I'm very happy. I feel leaner, specifically in the upper abdomen where the "blur" is fading and abs are poking through. Expecting a big scale victory for tomorrow's official check-in. Supply Chain & Testing Update: * Finnrick: Still "in process" since Dec 24th. While I appreciate the free service, a month-long lead time isn't viable for me. * New Plan: For my next batch of 30mg kits, I’m paying out of pocket to test at a lab in Tennessee for a faster turnaround. * Shipping: FedEx finally updated. The supplier used an alternate shipping method where the package travels to a port before being handed off to FedEx for domestic delivery. It has cleared customs and is on the way. 📝 Source Guide: https://retatrutidelog.com/s/source-guide-yt ITEMS I USE (The Insurance Policy): ⚖️ RENPHO Smart Scale: https://amzn.to/3Z13TbN 🩺 Blood Pressure Monitor: https://amzn.to/49lB6DH ⌚ Amazfit Watch (Sleep/HRV Analytics): https://amzn.to/45lT2wL ACCESS TO SOURCES: If you need access to the ancillary sources mentioned (like the ARB/BP meds or Test), join the newsletter at https://retatrutidelog.com or send me a message using the contact form on the site.
