So... NOT exercising this morning.
Daughter has a stomach bug. She either got it from a Mexican restaurant they went to after church or at the church function last night.
All 3 kids have nasty poop, but she's the only one throwing up.
It all started at 1:30am last night and she was up every 30min until around 4am... then it was about every 1hr. My poor baby looks like a 7yo zombie right now
Will be keeping her home tomorrow too.
I'm the a-- of a parent that sends kids off to school with a cold, but stomach bugs are a whole other story. I do NOT want this to be passed on to other kids or teachers if this is contagious.
Even with caffeine I feel like a zombie this morning too. Tack on that my older son wanted to come lay in bed with us too so I was stuck trying to get comfortable and just ended up laying on the floor. We need a cot for moments like this lol. I could've laid on the couch or recliner in the living room, but our dogs sleep in the sunroom and they would've sat at the door whining at me all night (it's happened before).
I dunno what it is about lack of sleep and wanting to eat but I definitely want to eat. I already had some pork rinds and about to go heat up some leftovers. Maybe a stress response to it? /shrugs
I just really hope no one else comes down with it. My 2 boys just throw up where they are, so it's going to be a giant mess if they get it and I can not come down with it right now b/c DH can't miss work for the next 2 weeks (important crap at work).0 -
Oh dear hoping everyone feels better soon.....There are a lot of nasty bugs going on right now.... *hugs*

Daughter was sick the majority of yesterday, but thankfully was better by the end of the day and wanted to eat a little. Keeping her home an extra day just to be sure she's ok and that she's not contagious or anything.
Boys are fine too so far.
This just sort of reaffirms my choice to not go to these food gatherings. Especially after DH told me he was going to go up for 2nds at it, but then saw people in line eating from the trays. Like... EW!! WTH is wrong with some people?? I'm positive they all got sick from whatever they ate from the church thing. DH said they all ate the same dessert.
I know WE are sanitary when it comes to food we make for social stuff, but you just can NOT trust other people to have the same standards or nasty people thinking it's ok to double dip and whatnot contaminating the whole dish. Just... yuck. I don't care if that makes me sound like a germaphobe. People can be disgusting.
WHEW! Rant over! lol
That was a very long day though. Yeesh. It did not help my stress levels and did not help this dang cold.
Coughing up lung snot constantly. By mid day it was actually hurting my chest b/c I had been deep coughing to try to clear my lungs of the gunk.
It is getting better though. Just feels like it's taking forever.
Sleep was a lot better last night. Zonked out early. Did wake a few times in a coughing fit but oh well.
Food yesterday was ok, but I'm pretty sure I bloated up b/c I tried the dip DH made. It has some non-canivore stuff in it. Like A LOT of hot sauce, ranch dressing and some green onion and I'm up 4lbs from Sunday and that's the only thing that has really been any different. Might've just been the salt in the dish that is causing it though. Not feeling any sort of extra stomach rumblings or anything.
And yeah... just wishing this cold would leave already! lol

Thanks yall.
Really nothing much to report here.
Still sick. Still coughing up a lung.
Unfortunately it messed with my sleep last night. Waking up coughing and coughing and coughing some more.
It is getting better, just slowly.
And yeah.... that's pretty much it.
I really did want to start exercising this week, but with this coughing, it's not happening. HOPEFULLY by next week I'll be well enough to start.
I think my diet is on point, BUT being so sedentary isn't helping me in any way. Hopefully once I really start getting in to it, I'll start seeing better results soon.
And I am REALLY going to push myself too. I am doing this for myself, BUT I also want to be a good role model for my kids 0 -

Howdy all!
Nothing much to report on. Still sick! I swear.. everyone else recovers from a cold.. week, 2 weeks at the most? This is my 3rd week!
I mean... for the most part I'm not coughing up mucus anymore (most of the time I should say), it's that annoying tickle in your throat that only gets worse if you try to gently cough. You gotta do one of those "I'm gonna try my best not to spray the room with my germs" while you cough in to your elbow, tissue, whatever, aggressive coughs to get rid of it temporarily.
Diet has been fine. I THINK I may have discovered that my monk fruit/ erythritol sweetener might have been causing some gut issues. I'm not entirely sure about it though.
I made a keto fluffy cheese cake (still carnivore but w/ the sweetener) and every time I ate some.. maybe an hour later I had to use the bathroom.
So... I dunno.
I've also noticed a slight dip in energy. Nothing drastic and I'm not wanting to nap during the day or anything, but just noticing I'm yawning more. Might just be b/c I'm sick though.
SIGH! And that's about it really. Nothing much has changed. Just wanting to come and check in 0 -
Hope you can kick that cold soon!!! No fun at all...... 1
-
OMG we are going through the same thing I hate that tickle in the throat, It's one of the worse thing ever!!! I hope we're both better soon 1

Ohhh that sucks! You poor thing. Hang in there, and hope you get better soon!1

My darling, I'm SO sorry you're sick!!! I got that nasty head cold sinus thing last week and while that part only lasted a few days, I'm STILL stuffed up so I get it Probably part of the reason I haven't posted to paid much attention to my weight the last 10 days or so - you've got this thought babe!!!
PS I second the enzyme in pineapples thing!!! Great for tenderizing meat and a natural probiotic!!!

UGH Sounds like a lot of us are ill right now. Hope we all get better.
Thankfully I am. Still coughing some, but thankfully it's gotten a lot better.
Diet has been weird. All I want right now is dairy. Dairy everything and I've been having it! lol Dairy free Feb has failed.. HARD lol. It's not like I can't try it again some other time so I'm not even worried about it.
I dunno though.... meat in general does not sound appetizing to me and all of our leftovers have been tasting weird even though they should still be perfectly fine. /shrugs
I dunno. Maybe my body is just craving fat and that's translating in to a dairy craving?0 -

Dairy cravings hit me like a TRUCK - REGULARLY lol - I attribute it to my body craving calcium but who knows LOL - Thankfully, though, dairy is also very satisfying to me so *shrug* lol1 -
I love me some cheese.....and ice cream........not together of course.......eat what your body wants you can't ignore it sometimes 1

Glad to hear that you are feeling better now I love my dairy..ice cream, milkshakes, etc, etc, etc 0

I hope you're back to your healthy self soon 0

I hope everyone is doing well! I'll catch upp with everyone soon. I promise!
Cheated for Valentine's day dinner. Fried chicken and lots of tequila and chocolate candy (kitkat, hershey's, reeses cups). I mean... not THAT bad but it was a lot of candy :P lol
But back to regularly scheduled diet after
No idea what the dmg is on the scale. MEH!
I'll see what it is tomorrow though but not worried about it.
Lingering stupid cough. Barely there tickle in throat, but still enough that I am coughing some. Hopefully it's not another cold wanting to start up.
Everything has been good here though. Chugging along and yep....1 -
Here's to you getting back to 100% We'll be here and we're sending love 0

Get well 100% soon❤️ Take care and know we are always here for you ❤️0

I'm at like 98% now. Still a stupid lingering cough every now and again but nothing bad.
I did exercise today. Only just a little. Not being lazy is still a struggle, but I need to do it.
Carnivore alone just doesn't seem to be giving me results. More energy from it is great, but I NEED to lose weight too.
So... I'm going to start exercising. For the next month + (this week and a half of Feb and March)... carnivore and exercise and see what happens. I'll have to remember to take more measurements too since the scale might not move.
I got the diet down...no real struggles there... now it's time to get my lazy butt moving!
Going to take about a week to just do whatever, but them come up with an actual schedule for March. Something that includes exercising in the morning so I can do it in a fasted state. Still only IF for now while I get used to exercising again and then take it from there.
There will most likely be another cheat for my son's birthday in early March, but there shouldn't be anything else.
Mid March.... I'll come up with another plan for April and just... go like that. Go month to month depending on how I'm feeling /nodnod1 -
Good luck with yr plans ! 0

Sounds good! Good vibes for that last 2%, too. 😊0
