    I’m worried about losing hair again so want to keep protein high and I have calories leftover over for one.

    @Beckymomof3girls I have never lost hair while on keto, make sure you're getting enough vitamins, and the one that's specifically recommended for hair is collagen. Maybe add a supplement if you're worried about it, I do take one myself.

    @AB0215 thanks! I’m taking a hair and nails multi vitamin (I forget to log it all the time, though) and put collagen in my first cup of coffee. I make homemade bone broth, but I’m not good at drinking it.

    My labs look good, so my doctor is ok with me going back on keto, and thinks my hair loss was due to weight loss and my body adjusting after having my third baby.

    Hope you feel much better tomorrow. Hate to ask bnb this but is it possible you drop the weight because you was woozy from the medication? If, so please be careful those weights hurt but wish you much success in using them once you're much better

    @gjaholy33 Nope, didn't drop the weight for that reason, I was taking it out of the box and it was stuck in the box so I shook the box to free the weight from it's cardboard prison and it slid out and right onto my foot, literally, happened for my own stupidity, I should have cut the box open a little more instead of shaking it, but I took a shortcut.
    Also, I'm not taking any medications. Even if I have strep they don't want me to take an antibiotic since I'm allergic to so many and I weight lift, it can cause muscle ruptures and it's not really necessary to take an antibiotic for strep, it clears in 2-3 days with or without antibiotic.

    I actually don't feel sick, just have a sore throat. Still running around like nothing is wrong, I feel fine, just have a little bit of a sore throat.

    IT'S DAY 5! WE MADE IT TO ANOTHER DAY!


    DO WE HAVE ANY AVID SODA DRINKERS?
    (If, so I apologize in advance for today's motivation tip.)
    6rbhw8za0v69.jpg

    Let's be clear these ingredients are not found in only soda or diet soda this is why it is important that while we are on this journey to learn how to read the Nutritional Labels (more on that tomorrow)

    I am not saying anyone should never drink soda but everything in moderation is key but I am trying to give it up period and I'm almost there.

    @gjaholy33 Haha, guessing I fall into the avid soda drinkers category. I drink 1-12 oz Diet Dr Pepper everyday, drinking one now lol. Sadly, my Diet Dr Pepper is like my little release, the one little thing I do that I probably shouldn't, but I don't see myself giving it up any time soon.

    @Beckymomof3girls There's a lot of things that can cause hair loss, and weight loss in general is one of them. Just watch it, and I used to not track my vitamins, and electrolytes and I realized on the days where I feel crappy, it's because I didn't pay attention to the mineral intake so now I track that religiously.

    So this morning was a bit frustrating but proud moment because my aide did not show again. Instead of having a defeatest attitude I had my friend on the phone while I took care of business just in case she needed to call 911 and she help me with my socks but I was able to do the rest. 2 months ago I would've had to cancel my appt. but losing that 15lbs made a DIFFERENCE so feeling proud! Plus (now I do not know why I'm always expecting bad news at the drs) my appt with the pulmonologist was excellent no new medication my PFTshow a little decrease but nothing to worrisome don't need to see him for 6 weeks and cleared for surgery. Plus they hook me up with the sleep lab so someone can help me with my BIPAP machine.

    On another note I was soooo light headed cause I spent all the time getting dress did not have to eat but I did stick 4 unsweetened motts applesauce but the aid met me at the doctor's so I sent her to Chipotle good thing too cause by the test we got back to the Bronx it was time for her to go (do not know why they sent her for half a shift, idiots) but a least I got one meal today
    ME STAYING POSITIVE THROUGH IT ALL

    @gjaholy33 That is a HUGE NSV. It's really great to see you getting your independence back, that's huge. And the positivity, also amazing. It's really upsetting when you rely on others and they let you down, but it's really awesome that you didn't let it get to you and ruin your entire day, you worked through it and came out on top. So great!!

    And kudos to Gloria, with everything else this week, she's been learning how to use spreadsheets, and she's been helping me track daily posts and entering your weights into the spreadsheet, 3 cheers for Gloria!

    @tdrjustus3 You know, sometimes that's all that matters, when you're watching what you eat, you'll be surprised at how successful you are. Glad you stayed the course even with your difficult week. Congrats!

    Daily Post- Wednesday

    Track yes
    Calories yes (way over on carbs though)
    Exercise yes - Biggest Loser workout and shoveling snow

    I let stress get the better of me and had half a gf frozen pizza with my husband for dinner tonight. I tried to ward off my pizza craving at lunch with a homemade cauliflower crust, but it didn’t do the trick. Then my husband got home an hour and a half late because horrible traffic in the snow, and we just went with the quickest and easiest option, so low on protein and over on carbs today. I may add a protein shake later if I end up hungry before bed. I’m worried about losing hair again so want to keep protein high and I have calories leftover over for one.
    It’s easy to lose track on stressful days but remember tomorrow is a new day!

    Comments: Woke up with a sore throat, hoping to wake up tomorrow without a sore throat.
    Got my new weight plates for training, super excited about that. Did a workout today to test them out, so excited about them. Did manage to drop one of the 10 kg plates on my foot while unboxing it, so that wasn't great, it's sore and bruised, but not broken so that's good I suppose...
    Going to head to bed and hopefully wake up feeling back to normal tomorrow. Luckily it wasn't unbearable and it's really the only symptom I have, maybe it's allergies?!
    Feel better.

    Comments: We had a lot of snow this past weekend where I live and we had school off for Monday and Tuesday. We had school today and I saw police cars and ambulances around the fountain my school has. A 19 year old sophomore girl passed away today at my school from slipping on ice and hitting her head. And I just can't stop thinking about her. Be safe everyone. <3:(
    Sorry to hear this. Prayers for her family

    I gave up soda 10+ years ago. I can’t count on 1 hand how many times I’ve had it since. Now it’s way too sweet for me. Good luck with giving it up.

    I totally gave up regular Dr. Pepper in November. However, I have been drinking an occasional diet Coke for the last 2 - 3 weeks. I just got so bored drinking water all the time. I can't drink too many or I will get headaches from the aspartame. I know they aren't good for me....but I just need a treat once in awhile. Diet Coke has always been the only diet drink that I can stomach....the others all just taste awful to me. Years ago I was addicted to it and drank 5 - 6 of them a day. I can't do that again.
