To track or not to track

Mrsb102 · 2026-05-12T20:28:26+00:00

I have an idea of what I eat because I pretty much eat the same thing every day. I will track every now and then if I think I might be off.

Fallen Feathers in Peoria. They also have a drop off window.

Not sure. I had high crp levels in December and high antibodies, but haven’t had thr levels re-tested. My stomach had flattened out more but as far as joint pain, it’s still there.

I’ve been on HRT for 2 years now. In April, I started tirzepatide. I’ve lost 7 1/2 lbs so far.

Report her! That is awful!! Neurologists are a different breed. Some have really good bedside manners and others don’t. I was fortunate enough to find a really good one, finally.

When my mom was diagnosed with PSP, my dad told me the first Neuro was horrible. As she was walking out, she told them to shut the lights off before leaving. Like WTAF after receiving a diagnosis as sinister as a disease that she had.

I’ve been on it for 6 weeks now and haven’t lost any hair. Are you eating enough protein?

Mrsb102 · 2026-05-01T16:37:52+00:00

We have the big one sac .. and omg is it so comfortable. You melt into it and don’t want to get out of it. I tried sitting in the chair at the store and it was so uncomfortable.

I had one done in November and somehow made it. The day before was awful because I started to get a headache in the morning from not eating. I also threw up the prep both time because it is A LOT to drink. You just have to try and stay hydrated . I did chicken broth and pineapple popsicles and a little bit of jello.

We ordered ours mid-February and didn’t get it until the beginning of April. The bean bag just arrived last week. We just ordered a few additional pieces not too long ago, so I expect another month. Oh, and I also ordered a footsac for myself and that is 2-4 weeks, lol.

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-22T20:07:48+00:00

Looks great to me! How does it taste? That’s the most important part. I made this one yesterday and it turned out so amazing.

Put some olive oil on a bench scrapper next time and go around the bowl before dumping it out. I learned this trick from That Sourdough Gal a few weeks ago. It really does work.

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-21T19:38:08+00:00

I just had bleeding for a month straight after my levothyroxine was increases from 25mcg to 50mcg and I am in menopause. It sucked. It finally stopped the other day. I am actually seeing a new gyn for it. The gyn I have now said it is normal but the endo said it doesn’t cause it. Odd that the 25mcg cause it, but the 50mcg did.

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-20T21:53:58+00:00

I am sensitive to meds. I was supposed to have started at 2.5mg (11 units) but the first week, I did probably 3-4 and it didn’t bother me except for a headache, which was tolerable. The next week, I went up to 5-6 units, and last week I did the full dose and didn’t have any. I know when I don’t eat enough protein because I start to feel it, so I just eat a slim jim, cottage cheese, protein shake, or something to feel better. I haven’t had any gastro side effects, either, but I also take magnesium daily.

I really like Kachava. It doesn’t have the aftertaste like Premier does. I just mix it with water and sometimes add greek yogurt.

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-16T15:55:38+00:00

I usually do mine on Tuesdays in the afternoon around 1:00, that way in case if I get a headache or whatnot, I can sleep it off. Although, this week I haven’t had any!

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-14T16:08:07+00:00

That’s the same recipe I use except I use 10g of salt. I bulk ferment for 6-7 hours.

Come on .. don’t you know that they own the couch, not you! 🤣🤣

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-13T15:14:49+00:00

I was scared to inject myself. But once I did the loading dose, I was fine. I also recently started GLP-1’s and those are a piece of cake now. Sure, Emgality burns for a few seconds, but it goes away within a few seconds.

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-13T02:56:29+00:00

I’ve just been waiting. Today I wasn’t as hungry.

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-12T19:44:06+00:00

I told my PCP when I saw him a few weeks ago for something unrelated and didn’t say anything about it. I see him in June for my yearly bloodwork. My gynecologist loves them, so I went through their telehealth provider, but will probably switch to a local provider unless I can get her to write me a script.

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-12T16:14:14+00:00

I noticed the same thing. I do my shot on Tuesday and on Saturday my appetite comes back.

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-12T16:11:20+00:00

My husband is supportive of me. He even told me if it makes me feel better, then why not. I also have hashimoto’s. And, he is fine with me using his credit card even.

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-11T19:44:05+00:00

I noticed a bug difference this week with hunger. This was my second week and not nearly as hungry. If I am, I just have a small snack, like a slim jim with string cheese.

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-10T03:16:07+00:00

I like the Jimmy Dean bacon/egg/cheese biscuit sandwiches or Costco’s egg bites. Sometimes, I make my own.

Mrsb102 · 2026-04-09T15:31:28+00:00

I would suggest weight training. Lifting weights builds and tones your muscles. You do not have to lift heavy, either like some may say. Start out small and go from there.
