BOTT 911- Saturday

Good Saturday morning all! Thought I'd get us started. I have an issue of my hair is falling out again! Since I've upped my protein I've noticed it coming out in the shower like it did at about 6 months after surgery! Anyone else have this problem at 3 yrs out.

I'm going to start my journal today and maybe I can make sure I'm getting enough protein in. I may have to up my protein. I'm getting all my vits in so, we'll see.

Have a great BOTT day!

Hi Janie,

Have you tried Biotin?  You can get it over the counter and it is for hair and nails.  Give that a try and see if it helps.  I'd also check with your doctor as well. 

Today I'm working all day.  I am teaching my leader trainings starting in an hour until late this afternoon.  Today is the first beautiful day with warmer temps and sunny.  I've also been sick for 2-1/2 weeks so I want to do something fun outside!!!  Tomorrow is the day I need to get our tax stuff together.  However, I think there needs to be some fun worked in this weekend.  If I don't, I can feel the emotional eating 911 button being pushed a little bit.

BOTT POWER!!

My hair still falls out and I'm 10 years out. 

Maybe I will have to check out the stuff Cathy recommended.  I just thought it was part of the process.  Of course when I was younger I had thick, thick, thick hair so I was okay with losing some, but now I'm a little worried.  It seems so thin these days. 

I have upped my protein since being BOTT which is good but I still have a hard time limiting my sweets, and snacks.  I recently got them out of the house and so that should help. 

Does anyone have recommendations of what to take to work as snacks?  I heard someone mention string cheese. 

When last time did you have blood work? Some mineral - vit deficiencies may show as hair loss,
i.e iron, thyroid, B's, low proteins, etc. 
Also - stress may cause that, or hormonal changes - menopause i.e. 

Think I'll go have my lab work drawn on Monday if there's someone in the office to do my labwork. I've got to go into Nashville for an appointment. Thanks for the encouragement. It could be stress. My job is a "little" stressful since I work in ICU. But I love it. I just have to get on an exercise program to handle my stress!

Thanks again gals!

My 911 today is that my Uncle Roy, who was a township constable, died quite unexpectedly and his wife is distraught and cannot see his body until Monday.  There will be an autopsy.  He was under a great deal of stress due to allegations made of impropriety. He was innocent, but the media kept spinning things and the court date kept getting moved farther away. I am still in shock and hope I can just keep on an even keel this coming week and be there for Ginger.
