    8/7 - 126.2 - Definitely stabilizing at work, but the sun rose red through smoke this morning. Work a little more normal for me as the fire chews through two counties to the east... logging food today.

    @brightresolve Where are you located? I'm in the California Central Coast region and woke to a hazy red sunrise, too.

    @AJB1014 Wish I had known about the magnesium lotion before I placed my Amazon order! I will try anything to get a good night’s sleep! Taking mag and potassium supplements twice a day. Still have periodic leg cramps. URG

    @tiabirdie56 I used to get one or two 1/2# Hershey bars during my TOM! Re: dark chocolate-YUM! As a kid, I ate the blocks of baking chocolate! The small pieces of highest % cocoa dark chocolate at Sprouts are extremely satisfying but I even quit craving those about 2 years ago!

    @TerriRichardson112 You may be right about the sherry/wine - sugar!

    @jaccimc63 At 68 years, 61”, and sedentary, my Garmin has my calories at 1340. I think you may need to increase your calories a bit. And...

    As crazy as this thing sounds, it works. A neighbor loaned me his and I did the adjustment twice in a row and the vertigo was gone. It isn’t cheap but it’s so worth it IMHO.

    @taxgirl1 You have inspired me with your step challenge. I am a slug. I have gotten up twice when my Vivofit chirped today and run laps around the coffee table. We’re going to the movies today but I will have to make up for that sedentary period!

    @biketheworld That popcorn smell is so tempting! It scares me!!

    @ssswish65 , @denswrex -Thank you for your encouragement. People like you are why I've stayed on this challenge even though the last couple rounds have not been great.

    @jerier -I normally don't eat too many pre-packaged foods, but I did have a Lean Pocket for lunch a couple times this past week. I stayed well below my sodium levels those days, but maybe the other junk is having an effect on me too. Thank you for the advice.

    @VermontDan -I started feeling the dizziness about 4 weeks ago. It was just like I had experienced years before...when I rolled over in bed in the morning, the whole room spun. I had completed the Epley exercises at home last time and they worked pretty quickly in resolving the issue, so I started them again. The trick is, you have to know which ear is causing the issue to perform the correct exercise. I guessed wrong this time. I got so bad last week I went to the Dr. and he did the BPPV test on me and saw it was my left ear causing the issue. I've started the exercises again, only doing it the correct way. I am feeling better, but bending over can sometimes cause an issue for me. If I don't straighten up soon though, I'll mention your diagnosis. Thank you for the information.

    @quiltingjaine - I just ordered it. I'm always wondering if I'm doing the positions correctly and I think this will really help. Thank you!

    Thanks so much for the facebook video. I am post menopausal but there was still info in there for me too. It really explained a lot! All women should see this! Men too, actually! It is just 13 minutes long and moves along quickly but EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE. Thanks, yet again, for more informational and inspiring recommendations!
