I get cramps in my legs or feet every time I lie down, after a while, even when not sleeping. They went away for many months after surgery, but returned, boo! I have to get up and hobble around to get rid of them every single night. My labs are perfect, but ouch, what an annoyance!

I take additional magnesium daily and that seems to help most of the time but last night it just wouldn't stop. I hope yours gets better soon.

Definitely try magnesium! It helped me a lot when I have had bad bouts.

However now that I am further out from surgery, mine are caused by dehydration 99% of the time, unfortunately. It takes chugging about 3+ electrolyte waters to get any relief.

Leg cramps are the worst! I get the in my left calf. The potassium that the dr. prescribed has helped sooo much!

It's usually my left calf too. Wonder if that's "a thing"?

Good morning and happy Tuesday! One last short week for me; was off yesterday and I'm off friday due to family coming to visit. Just like last week, I'm cramming 5 days worth of work into many fewer days so it will be stressful.

QOTD - Yes, I have a fun trip planned every month until early March, mostly long weekends but still fun -- I'll hit Nashville, St. Louis, London, Key West and the Dominican Republic before I'm done....and I just started the process for a Croatian cruise in July of next year. I work so I can travel!

Accountability - I had too much fun in Texas and it shows; diligence and recovery is the name of the game this week! I also slacked on fluids so must get the full 100 in today if not more

Menu for today

3.8 oz ever roast deli chicken

2 baby bel

cottage cheese

meetings some friends at Zoe's Kitchen and although I want the falafel, I will have the greek salad with chicken

L&F greek pumpkin pie

Have a spectacular tuesday!

Omg your travel schedule is amazing. I was just reading up on travel to Croatia the other day and started a Pinterest page for what I want to do and see! It sounds incredible.

It is a beautiful country! We were there for 3 days last year and it wasn't enough, I'm so excited to go back.

OMG I went to Croatia in 2001...magical! You are going to be obsessed with it!

Your trips sound SO FUN. I have never been to Key West or the DR.

I work so I can travel too. Hell, I live so I can travel :)
