    @quiltingjaine and @musicsax, My experience with it is wonderful! so far.

    ~I now experience deeper, more restful, uninterrupted sleep. I have always been a very light sleeper and as I have gotten older, I sleep only about 4 hours nightly.
    ~No leg or foot cramps and none of those cramps that start in your ankle and creep up your leg.
    ~A lot less nerve tingling, especially when I take B12 and Alpha lipoic acid with it
    ~No constipation!
    ~A lot less stress- I can truthfully say that I did not get the cortisol surge when my husbands blood sugar sent him to the hospital. I feel like I have control over the cortisol, which I don't, the magnesium just allows me to have a much calmer physical reaction.
    I have always taken a magnesium supplement but this liposomal magnesium is a game changer for me. The brand I am taking is Juvetirpo. It is a combination of magnesium threonate, citrate and glycinate. 2200mg in 2 softgels. 2200mg seems quite a bit high to me though, so I don't take it every day. I take it every other day and if I forget to take it, its because I am not experiencing any symptoms.

    What is liposomal?
    What does liposomal mean?

    LIPOSOMAL TECHNOLOGY: What it is and how it affects supplements

    @tiabirdie Can you take 1 softgel daily at 1100mg? I am going to Amazon to find it. Is that where you ordered it?

    Round 228


    7/06 #124.2- I am telling myself slow is good, losing weight slowly means I actually losing fat and not just water fluctuations...Putting great effort into weighing my food, created this medley for lunch: TJ cauliflower gnocchi, chicken sausage, asparagus, and colorful tomato medley, fried it up, and then poured in separate bowl to measure, so I can divide into 3 servings. I have been working on my just dirty the dish complex, one more dish to clean is not a big deal- My wonderful mother was the most fabulous cook, but she was messy, dirty so many dishes every night. I was the awful daughter who did the dishes and just complained... She has had several strokes the last year and can no longer talk and only can eat soft foods, my heart breaks for her quality of life. But I am rejoicing in the lessons she taught me, so just dirty the dish and measure! A thank you to God for my mother! - on a different note, did a 5 minute resting squat, 10 minutes total. 1 hour pickleball, physically sore, but mentally sorer- frustrated in 2 months could lose so much of my game, sure it will calm back but with working so hard need to accept will not reach that level of play again.

    @Anabirgite God bless your mother. It warms my heart to read of your gratefulness!

    My 17th Round
    Age: 53

    7/6 I had a super upsetting mtg with my boss yesterday and I felt the urge to drink afterwards (which I have not felt in a long time) and when that passed then I felt the urge to eat/binge. I was able to let both urges pass, thankfully. I started crying near the end of the mtg and had to turn off my mic and type my last few comments in the chat. I was crying too hard to speak. Then I couldn’t stop crying so I decided to log off work for the balance of the day. (I had a bunch of other mtgs scheduled and did not think I could be present and effective for those.) I was able to ask hubby for some time alone and I decided to feel my stupid feelings. I was able to label my feelings (“I feel sad and angry and unsupported”) and also identify where I was feeling that in my body (“I feel that in my stomach and my chest is really tight”). Then I reminded myself that feelings are temporary and will pass. And I remembered that if I could not calm down, I had an ice pack in the freezer to put on my eyes, if necessary, which was good to remember but I ended up not needing it. I’m glad I was able to remember some coping strategies even though I was very upset. Today I am thinking “I am just having a rough patch with my career. This is very common and happens to a lot of people. All I can do is make a plan to move forward. This will pass and things will get better.” It is unusual for me to not be thinking “I am a failure and I am stupid and I can’t do anything right and why bother and I should just quit” etc. although I did feel the “I should just quit” feeling right after the upsetting meeting. When I did think that, I was able to remind myself to not make any decisions when I am feeling so upset and think about it again later. I had previously booked today and tomorrow off to prepare for my kayak/picnic day on Saturday, so I have until Monday to calm down about it and hopefully return with a better attitude on Monday.

    @clprieur Thanks for sharing your coping mechanisms and the specific way you feel and address your feelings. It will be helpful to me and to many others, I'm sure. I'm glad you got through those feelings. You are right. Certainly the intensity of the feelings will pass allowing more clarity. I am glad you have a few extra days to sort your feelings out. Prayers and good vibes to you dear girl!

    @quiltingjaine, you're welcome.

    @deepwoodslady, One capsule probably would be effective. Yes, I bought it from Amazon. Juvetirpo liposomal magnesium

    @Danceswithdogz (I dance with my cats and they hate it) Regarding weighing every day. For me, the value of daily is learning patterns and cause and effect on the scale. I am no longer shocked my uptick after a high volume (still in my system) or high carb (I retain fluids) day. Knowing this can be helpful. If one weighs more randomly and steps on the scale after one such day, there is no data to have told you that days reading is likely high. Anyhow, weighing patterns are up to the individual and should be whatever supports that person best.

    @39Flavours I surprisingly loved Schitts creek!

    @anabirgite I want to try and make the cottage cheese ice cream that I frequently see

    Took a walk/run break to remove excuses. Just got in from 6 miles!

    @jelleigh I have been hearing things about not aggravating cortisol as well. A recent one was a podcast on “belly fat” and it talked about types of exercise. So many things to thin about

    @fitby44 One of my favorite dining out tricks to not feel deprived is two appetizers. One used as appetizer and one as my entrée. I’m a foodie so it makes me happy. :P

    @tiabirdie56 @Quiltingjaine @Musicsax Hubby is the cramp person. His are had when they hit. I don’t know how, but Hyland's Naturals Leg Cramp Tablets stop them quickly. Will tell Hub’s about the liposomal magnesium.

    Caught up through page 8. Going to go make breakfast.

    @SModa61 Do you happen to remember the name of the podcast about belly fat? I’m curious about the exercise part

    @clprieur I’m sorry you had such a hard day at work, but thank you for sharing your coping strategies — helpful for many of us I’m sure. I actually implemented some of them yesterday after reading your post, as I was stressed when DH came home with a bloodied hand from our big, playful, completely non-aggressive but short-on-impulse-control adolescent pup.

    @tiabirdie56 I just ordered some liposomal magnesium. The stuff I’ve been taking no longer seems to do the trick for leg cramps, so I’ll try this. Thanks for the info!

    UGW: 120

    R228 Goals:
    1. Track food daily
    2. Strength training 3X
    3. Steps: 80,000
    4. Floors: 80

    Day, Weight, Comment

    7/1 - 189.6
    7/2 - 189.4
    7/3 - 190.4
    7/4 - 191.6
    7/5 - 190.4
    7/6 - 189.8, not the best day. Started out really good, but then the pull of my chair and cheese pleasures got to me. Thinking that maybe I should throw out my chair or at least make it so that I can't just sit easily. I tracked my food this morning, which is better then not tracking but I need to get in the habit of tracking as the day goes. I was just under for my calorie count, barely and in truth because I didn’t track as I ate I probably under represented what I ate. My water intake is still very low, need to work on that. 5,961 steps (38,560 left), 2 Floors (56 left), 36 Zone Minutes (207 left). Farley and I did not get out for a walk last night it was simply too hot for him. I think that I am going to have to start taking him in the morning.

I think that I am going to continue to use this one. [ /Spoiler]
