She Eats...She Gains.....She Takes Her Vites! (crowd: RAhhhhrr)

Jul 03, 2015

In case you missed it...I, at nearly five and a half years out, found myself with a boatload of deficiencies, and Protein Calorie Malnutrition.

I dropped 20 pounds in two weeks, got the most horrendous case of brain fog I've ever had. Brain fog goes along with Lupus and Fibromyalgia,

too which I also have, but because it was so bad, I'm blaming it on PCM.

The catalyst for all this was an emotional blow that I never saw coming.  I've seen a lot of game playing in my time, some more astounding than

others.  I had been walking around in a state of shock since April.  Not doing what I knew I should be doing.  Describing my state as being

stunned is an understatement.  I felt like a friggin' zombie!

I'm better now.  I'm drinking my shakes in an effort to get my protein levels back where they need to be.  I'm taking my vites.  Not the bullshit

vites, the high-high octane variety.  25,000IU -A.  50,000IU- D3.  400IU- E  2,000mcg K1.  4 Centrum Completes daily.  5000 mg UpCalD (2

packets daily for the Calcium Citrate).  Klor-Con EF for potassium (like the Fizzies drink tablets I had as a kid.  Remember those, Baby Boomers?)

After all that over the course of a day, it seems I wouldn't be able to find the time or space to eat...WROnG!!!

Chicken livers for breakfast.  Scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon for Second Breakfast.  On the road, so Double Cheeseburger from

MickeyD's  for lunch.  Afternoon snack - 2 hard boiled eggs and a slice of liverwurst (from a country market where I purchased barbecue meats

for the holiday)  Dinner - Popeyes two piece with red beans and rice, and some hushpuppy shrimp. Snack 1 -20 oz protein shake, with egg mixed

in.  (I was a little afraid of this one, because of all the talk about salmonella, but so far, so good!)  Online-time nutrition: 1 20 oz. Dark Chocolate

Protein shake  ( I make my own flavors with extracts and baking ingredients, like Herhseys Special Dark Cocoa)  I got my grams in today!      YAY ME!!!!

 Weight up today from 143 - 155.8.  We'll see how much of it was water when I weigh tomorrow.
