How are you all doing today?

I'm kinda behind.  I still need one more dose of calcium, plus my iron and C.

I miss you!!! and all my awesom friends here

vitamins... not so good
 
Zero ZERO zero

but  now I'll go take the main stuff


I do best on calcium  because I trained hubby when he makes me a protein drink too make me one with calcium.

but I"m awful on being good with vitamins. That and my 5 lb gain over optimum has convinced me I need to come back here.

Hey, good to see you!

Posting a daily vitamin check in here really helps me keep up with them.  I hate to post "Hey, how are you all doing with vitamins?  I haven't taken any today, but I sure hope you have!"

I am doing great... thanks for asking.

I put my daily doses into one container in the morning and, if it is empty at night, I know I did my job!

Kelly... since I have your ear...

My joints have been creaking lately and I am interested in trying some Glucosamine/Chondroitin..

Do you know anything about whether or not we absorb this well or not?

I may start a new topic on this later tonight... but you were the one I hoped would read it, so I am asking here too.

Thanks!

I don't know how well we absorb it.  I would post something about it and see what other say that have used it.  I am thinking it won't hurt to try some, though.

 Today is the best vitamin day I've had since I started my new job. I struggle everyday to get it all in. I don't take nearly as many as the rest of you but it's still a struggle. I'm in the field alot so I eat both my breakfast and lunch in my car most times. In addition to the 3 calcium, 1 iron, 4 multi's (one a day petites) I also take 3 stool softeners and 2 Zantac and I find it pretty hard to do as I spend alot of time in my car.

Can you keep some vitamins in the glove box of your car?  Or just pack then with your breakfast and lunch?

I keep a stash of pills in my purse so I do have them with me. My problem is that I have a pretty bad gag reflex (all my life-not surgery related) so when I swallow pills I take a bite of food chew and just before I swallow slip the pill in my mouth and swallow with the food. I find my "method" a little difficult to do while driving. I tend to wanna sit down at a table and take my time to eat and swallow pills.  I get off work fairly early so I'm thinking I should start taking one dose as soon as I get home and the 2nd dose at dinner time.

Ok so I am behind a calcium dose.  But other than that I am golden!  Go me!
