Feelings: calorie count was like 2000 cal yesterday. So super disappointed in my self and the calories I burn from exercise I eat so I am not getting a head, feeling good about low carbing and getting rid of the sugars for the week. I spent the evening at work looking over what I have been eating and I realize I have lots of high protein stuff to chose to eat. So let the day begin and lets see how my report in tomorrow looks.

It is so easy for things to slip out of control. Hang in there. I hope Monday went well.

OK, better get on with this post, so Noreen can go ahead!! 

My lips are so much improved.  I can't believe that 3 days worth of 5,000mcg of biotin fixed 'em.  It says 'assists utlization of protein' on the pack, so that's interesting.  I wonder if taking biotin a couple of times a week would be OK - I obviously had a proper deficiency.  I don't mind doing more, but less obviously costs less. 

Just reading wikipedia, saying that eating raw egg whites causes a deficiency... I had about 4 raw egg whites about a month ago, the first and only ones post DS (meringue with Splenda which is only any good raw)... I wonder if this caused it.  I won't be doing that again - EVER!!

ETA - wikipedia says "However, deficiencies can be caused by consuming raw egg whites over a period of MONTHS to YEARS."  I'm guessing 4 raw egg whites for me equated to a normy consuming them for months or years!!   I think I was teetering on deficient anyway, which is why I had a box of it in the house.

Nothing like us all being dress right, dress in our little formation.  

I'm amazed how you went with your gut about the issue being a biotin deficiency and fixed it. I'm impressed!

Ahh, yes. The world is back on its axis and Huneypie  posted ahead of me. Feeling much better now. LOL
