Morning All!
Mimi – Hello! And great job on turning back around at the door! Something I know I could not pull off just yet. *sigh* So yes –it IS the small victories we need to celebrate as we work toward our goals – whatever they may be!
Play – That’s great news about no surgery (at least for now)! That must be so scary and I am not sure what I would be doing in your shoes – you are one strong lady! I TOTALLY agree with you on the MWO hypo tapes. HA! That guy just creeped me out! When I first started this journey (WAY too many years ago) I bought EVERYTHING. Book, tapes, All In One, all the supps until I felt like a rattled when I walked, tapes, etc. I thought it was only me having trouble with tapes until a few others mentioned it and it made me laugh. They hit the bin long ago … I am also curious as to what tapes you find better.
Dizzy – Hoping the magnesium is helping! I had to laugh about your cleaner making noise about your cottage being messy. Well, being clean would put HER out of a job right away wouldn’t it now then? HA! I have a housekeeper as well and some weeks I feel sorry for her. LOL I try to just “put things away” B4 she comes mostly because if I don’t it either it 1) does not look really cleaned or 2) she puts stuff away and it becomes a game of me trying to find stuff! My housekeeper jokes that I keep her in a job - bless her soul.
Understand about your Dad, the smoking and the “mix/balance” that seems to be working right now. Tough spot and I can see why no one would want to rock the boat so soon.
My dog is a Golden Retriever and a rescue and he is the love of my life. The 3rd one I have owned. LOVES everyone and every other dog and adores cats. Quite the character!
Hang in there and rants always welcome here – we all need a place to vent from time to time!
Sun! – First – NEVER apologize for a long post – I love em! But sorry to hear you are feeling some bumps in the road right now. And also I guess as a vegan you do not each fish either?
And my response on All-One: No clue. I was so loaded up on that and so any other supps I wasn’t sure what was working and not working. I did find it a bit messy to take as the only way I could get it down was in orange juice. The washing out the shaker glass then opening and counting supps form another 8-10 bottles or so. To be honest – it just got to be too much and I got too lazy to keep it up.
As for the L-Glut – I find that simple. Approx 2 Tsp in about an inch or so of water and I just keep my small glass and the canister next to my sink. No flavor and I take a few hurs after I have been up (when that first wine would call if it was in the house) and then again when I get home. If I am at home all day I will take it at least one more time and sometimes a 4th time in one day. My biggest struggle is remembering to take my 25 Topa when I am at work! I forgot it again yesterday so did 25 at 5 PM and 50 at 730 PM and was sound sleep by 830 PM. Just kicking it up 25 mg brings back the tired which I can hold at bay until I get home – but then just drop!
Houtx ! - Chica, You have been on my mind with the tornados and had not seen you on FB! Glad to see you hear!
I am still running through my batch of Topa from River from the last time. No major shakes this time around (like before Greece), but little rumblings and feeling a sense of determination again. And yep Houtx – we WOULD party! HA! And I hear you on the “starting earlier” thing – something I NEVER used to do! We can’t forget: It’s a progressive thing …. *sigh* I’ll send you some of my Topa stash if you want to jump back in – I bought quite a bit last time …
And so with all those thoughts, I am at Day 2 headed into the 4th week and doing 25/50. I finished last week with slightly an average of over 6 glasses per day. Last night was interesting as I had a bottle at the shop with 2 glasses and one at home with 4 glasses. One glass left and I was FIGHTING with myself for well over and hour to not touch it. Took L-Glut and waited 10 minutes, 20 minutes … all the while telling myself how STUPID I was being (and the beast telling me what the hell just finish the last glass!) I finally just got off the sofa and poured it out. Issue over! HA! So a 5 glass day – and another baby step towards my most current goal of 4 glasses per day.
Very busy at the shop right now so that is a good thing for me. Working on holding back the “starting time”, sticking with the L-Glut and a few other supps. The bad news is, so far I have already lost 11 pounds. Don’t hate me! I can’t afford to lose any weight! Going to gear up higher on Ensure Plus and see if I can get something to stick! I just lose my appetite on Topa and so often am too damn tired to cook when I get home in the evenings.
Off to the shop to sell flowers and bunnies with the pup!
Hugs to All,
WTE
