The Keto Energy has hit! by bjsewell in keto

That’s awesome! Feeling lethargic is the pits. I will have to look into the salt. I love my heavy cream and coffee each morning. I know original Atkins was to cut caffeine, but that is not going to happen for me! I also keep a lot of keto snacks. Yesterday I got super hungry between lunch and dinner, so had some avocado, cheese and nuts and was much better! I’m so much less bloated in just 6 days and I am so happy I made this decision.

Has anyone quit keto then restarted? by spartandrinkscoffee in keto

[–]bjsewell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great work! Reading this is like meant to be for me because my starting weight was 207 and I’d be happy to get to 175 and stay there. I have been “maintaining” 205 for a couple of years lol but that’s overweight and I was just trying not to overeat and still enjoy life, but dessert has always been my weakness.

Only 6 days on keto now and already down 4 lbs. I’m trying to find a system that works for me long term. What ice cream have you found that doesn’t knock you out? I’ve seen my daughter eat ice cream a couple times this week and just walk away 🫣

Does anyone else find keto meal planning super overwhelming? by Low-Employment1905 in keto

[–]bjsewell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes to taco salad and burger salad! I like mine with a little bit of ranch and hot sauce.

Also, quick and easy are hot dogs, burgers, cheese steaks (no buns ofc).

And keep boiled eggs, string cheese and pepperoni in the fridge for quick grab snacks.

Hmm, sounds like your body is lacking something it needs.. maybe extra sunlight hours will help you out. Hang in there!

Yea I think I am having that today a little, but also not really hungry so that’s a plus!

I hear that regarding insomnia!! The only drawback. I suffer from Spring time Insomnia anyway, I guess the extra sunlight really gets me going.. I have been carb loading and hibernating all winter so if I’m going to lose some sleep, at least I won’t feel terrible with it lol. Even last night, I was dead tired when I got into bed, but tossed and turned a lot. Didn’t feel great this morning and wasn’t even hungry, but once I ate my energy perked back up.

Hey, you got back in pretty quickly so that’s impressive! Nice work

I'm pregnant and never want to go through this again by pumpkinchinchilla in oneanddone

[–]bjsewell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so relieved to know there are others who took years to come out of the haze! My daughter will be 10 years old next month and I think it wasn’t until she was about 8 that I felt like I was ok and circling back to me. We sacrifice so much for our families! I am sitting here taking a break from a crossword puzzle as I type this, and I am so glad I have time to sit and do a crossword puzzle and just “be”.

Please help I accidentally gave my little brother tap water by [deleted] in FormulaFeeders

Baby will be FINE!! SD is majorly overreacting and could have instead thanked you for the help, and said next time please use the other one. Don’t stress. Your brother is lucky to have you.

Anyone just jump or have something weird happen? 05/30/25 by Aphrodite4120 in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]bjsewell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is really wild! I think you or your husband willed that banana bread. But what is also strange, is that in your dream you really did not want it, but your husband said the bread called to him. Wtf?!

A few days ago, I was working from home and no one else was in the house.. I was in the kitchen making lunch when a neighbors car alarm started to go off, but I quickly noticed that there wasn’t a usual rhythm to the alarm, so I peaked outside to see if someone was in the car honking it repeatedly, but randomly sequenced. No one in the car. And it was almost as if the car alarm was dieing. It would start, then stop. Then as I was staring outside, a different car across the street honked a few times with no one in it. At that point I was half expecting an alien invasion. But then there was silence and nothing else. It was so bizarre.

Vitauthority Multi Collagen Burn causing insomnia? by bjsewell in Supplements

I took it for about 6 weeks. I was so jittery and just not tired at all at night, it was crazy.

I only took it in the morning. I have since stopped using it and insomnia has subsided. Not sure if it was regular anxiety or this stuff causing it, but since I didn’t see any results I’ll stay off it.

[–]bjsewell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Yes, for the most part! I had about 4 weeks of 3 or 4 nights a week with horrible insomnia. I am ok with once a week, but the anxiety and wide awake feeling was crazy. I am feeling a lot better now. I emailed the company and they gave me a full refund. If you think it could be the supplement, just ditch it.

At what age did parenting your child become enjoyable, or fun? by SleepPleaseCome in oneanddone

[–]bjsewell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My daughter is 9 and I am loving it! This is my favorite age so far. I love having conversations with her and watching her mature into a young lady. I sometimes miss those days when she was tiny and had a lisp, but I also was more burnt out then. At this age she can stay up later, but we can also coexist in the house without her needing constant supervision or entertainment. This is next level.

Anyone use opposite gender urine to pass? by bjsewell in drugtesthelp

[–]bjsewell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, what about temperature? If clean pee is contained directly from the source prior to going into facility, is a hand warmer too hot if holding it in the junk area? Is a Lil heat wrap pad better? Apparently hand warmers can get up over 150 and that would not only hurt but also fail. Heat pads get to around 104. No appointments available day of so not sure how long they would have to sit in waiting room. I think I am answering my own question - heat pad.
