Happy Monday!!! The weekend was pretty good. Took time to go through some horse tack and get it ready for a sale coming up this Sunday. Didn't do all that much else. The truck didn't want to start so we still didn't get the billy goat, but I'm not overly worried about getting the girls bred. It happens when it happens.
I guess it's the Chiefs and the Eagles for the SuperBowl. Hopefully the Eagles win. It seems to me that the refs are being paid to keep the Chiefs going especially since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are such a big thing and apparently the Swifties are helping with ticket sales. Yup big eyes roll here. I feel like football just isn't what is used to be.
QOTD: Will you be watching the SuperBowl in a couple of weeks? We might maybe if there isn't anything else better on. Kinda wish Buffalo was in it over the Chiefs then I would watch.
B: coffee
L: chicken loaf
D: shrimp scampi
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great day everyone!!!!
Thank you very much PaulaToronto for your excellent response. I will take it under advisement and try these things that you are recommending.
Since I am on a low carb diet no sugar/flour for many years now I take Magnesium Citrate - 2 a day and three Metamucil SF Fiber Gummies a day and go daily like clockwork after struggling for many years. If you eat low carb the Magnesium helps with leg/muscle cramps and it helps with my sleep as well as with bone health since I did get osteoporosis - not sure how much is surgery related but it did play a role. I would never do a colon cleanse as it affects your gut microbiome and not in a good way.
Happy Anniversary!!!

ð?'? My husband and I are both 16 years post op. Biggest advice is have a lifelong support person that will also hold you accountable. This is a tool & can be abused which will land you back to where you are now but with added health issues. My starting weight was 300 and my current weight is 130. Message me after your surgery for food ideas.
I am thinking of Hawaii in May. When are you planning to go?
I am still flexible and would love if we could meet up there.

Happy Anniversary and have a great dinner! If John orders the Porterhouse for two, he will be able to have most of it to himself with our little stomachs!!
