I hope your fur baby didn't mind going to the doggy hairdresser.  I bet you love it even more than normal when it's freshly washed!! ;-)

I just went to order some magnesium citrate and one pack said 500mg --> 80mg elemental!!  OMG I can't believe it's that low for elemental.  Most of the manufacturers don't declare the elemental number so I've emailed them asking.  I don't really understand the difference, but I know we need 300mg elemental.

Anyway I bet you guess what I spent an hour doing this afternoon - yep I packaged up 3 weeks worth of vites.  I do have about 2 moths worth of Vitalady pre-packaged vites too, but I do it both ways.

Oh yes, Newton smells much much better and they cut him close. He'll have to wear his Thunder Shirt to go for walks to stay warm.

The elemental count is really disappointing. Even Vitalady's capsule is 500mg = 150mg elemental and I take 5 of them a day with calcium citrate doses. Must be about the best you can get without paying an arm and a leg. I sorted vitamins last weekend, so I know what you mean.  : )

Hi Gina, and all

Exercites: nothing yet, waiting for the spirit to move me in that direction lol

Feelings: today I feel frustrated

I will be doing some grocery shopping tomorrow so we will have some salad and veggie stuff in the house, the holidays has really made a difference and I am honestly surprised that it is so hard to get back to eating right. Carbs have taken over and are winning in this house they were a struggle before but now it is aweful, I can hardly wait to go shopping tomorrow. I am ready to get on track.s Did a bit of a carb count today and well over 300 in carbs. 

Susan

I am going to try to limit my drinking of diet pepsi for a week and I am going to try to eat one salad a day for the next week.

Keep my accountable Gina

You can do it, Susan. We shopped for our low carb efforts today. Ditched a lot of the carby stuff we've let in the house. Even gluten free stuff is carby, so they got cut out. Hubby is doing this with me so it makes it easier. Increase the plain water and eat those salads with added protein. You're strong!
