Yes- Exactly. My Neti Pot worked so well...until they took away my entire bathroom. Using the neti pot in the kitchen sink seems disgusting, so I quit using it. I was achy and stuffy and not stuffy and such low energy. A lil' tired.... and then the COLLLD FRIGGGEN WEATHER..... that has NOT helped.

is it summer yet?
Oh, and to finish my rant.....
Sleeping on the floor in the sun room on a mattress while having this crud...cold...whatever.... really made my body ache even more.
Last night, finally the bed was back in the bedroom.Slept like a baby. I need to go purchase more Nyquil now. I've been using that for 3 weeks. to help me sleep.
I think i'm on the mend.
Thanks for hanging in thru this entire post.
Hope you are also feeling better ceebeeslim
and
JustGirl - thanks for keeping the thread alive. I just haven't felt like posting anything
WOrkouts are happenign everyday, regardless of how I really feel. Its getting that food in control and being consistent there that I am attempting to laser focus on. (** My laser isn't too strong.... I laser focus on it for a bout a year without making progress it seems.... might need to purchase a new laser here..... LOL / But seriously ***)

Some foods stimulate insulin release. Some don’t. For weight loss, that matters.
Some foods stimulate Glucagon Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1). Some don’t. That matters.
Some foods stimulate Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide (GIP). Some don’t. That matters.
Some foods stimulate stretch receptors in the stomach wall. Some don’t. That matters.
Some foods stimulate Peptide YY. Some don’t. That matters.
Some foods stimulate cholecystokinin (CCK). Some don’t. That matters.
Some foods stimulate dopamine release in the brain. Some don’t. That matters.
Some foods can cause cravings. Some can’t. That matters.
The number of calories does not influence the types of hormones released,
and therefore what our body does with those calories.
That’s the very, very important piece of information that is missing from overly simplistic way “It’s all about Calories” thinking.

Back and Abs.
Went with 4 sets of 10-12 reps on back, and tried to go slow and controlled.
Normally do 3 sets of 15-20. Definitely felt like the weights were 5-10# heavier.
51 degrees here right now. Loving this.

Decided to do legs today - hamstrings and Glutes was the main focus for the first 30mins.
Quads, adductors and calves to finish it off. It seemed to help my back release = perhaps some of my pain is muscle soreness. I did have 2 aleve - I'm sure that helps too.1 -
Been absent for a while. Very stressed. Dad went to ER (passed out - low BP), mom not feeling well, niece USAF entry delayed due to knee injury - so have to add her to my caregiver responsibility. She can’t walk.
Just saying hi for now. Feeling overwhelmed and panicky. Just trying to take some deep breaths and my positive words aren’t working right now! 😖1 -

So grateful to Lord Jesus that I can breathe and am clearing out some of this congestion 0 -
Hey @justgirl81. Must’ve missed your post! Were you ill? Glad you’re finally feeling better. This is what’s my mom is dealing with. Everyone in the family had what we considered a bad cold and we thought she escaped it. Now she has congestion, wheezing, coughing. She seems to be getting better slowly (robitussin, nebulizers, Mucinex) but still congested. Hopefully a full recovery soon. And with the dementia, the emotional issues get worse - crying, whining, agitation. Deep breaths! Deep breaths!!
Did something do the trick for you?1 -

Today is the first day I feel like I'm seeing the light (praise Lord Jesus) at the end of the tunnel.
I've found relief in lots of prayer, rest, raw garlic, turmeric, vitamin C, and zinc. I believe walking is very important (even slow) with chest congestion, and always have her in upright position. Tons of fluids. Hot decaffeinated lemon in herbal tea. Laughter, hugs, pictures of happy memories and/or puppies and kittens. I think all of these things will help her recover. 0 -
First time I've weighed in since Mid November.
Up 1# - putting me at 107.2 - which I will take. Heck, could just be a BM or still retaining water from the 4 meals out this past weekend. That is SO relieving to me. I figured I was up several #.
ANywho...I've started a cut - lord willing I will be able to stick into the cut for 4 weeks. Brings me to about March 4th. If I havent' stated my goals:
(Mathing in my head)
Per 3 main meals:
Total Calories: 1150 - 1685 Not worried about 1150, as the calculation is always going to be off... isnt it 10%-25% that we [L]"under estimate"[/L]
Protein: 30-40g (110-160g Daily; 440-640 cals daily)
Carbs: 30-40g (110-160g Daily; 440-640 cals daily)
Fat: 10-15g (30-45g Daily; 270- 405cals daily)
Snack available - Target 10g Protein and max 260 cals.
Total with MAX snack: 1410 - 1945
WIN OF THE WEEK. I've logged my calories in the LOSE IT app for the past 23 days in a row!!!0 -

Sounds like what I had, and it lasted 4 weeks. My brother (13hours away in Iowa) is on week 2 of it. Its a HARD slow return. He is deparately trying NOT to give it to my mom. Oh boy! that's the last thing she needs is pnemonia - I'd be afraid it would take her last breath (just being real).
I talk to my mom daily. I am trying to cherish every word.
