What are you eating/doing today? (Monday)

Thanks Zizzler. I like kiwis. I will pick some up as soon as possible. The cramps are getting really annoying

Hey Pat, sorry about the leg cramps.  I used to get them (only in my right leg) but I found that wearing a leg warmer to bed (the kind that covers the calf) has cut them down to one every few years, whereas before I was getting them 1 every couple of days.  When it would happen my calf would go rock hard and i'd have to point my toes toward my chin and slow breath until it passed.  Then my leg would be sore for a days.

Thanks CC I will see i it helps.

Awww... thanks. It's a great move forward for us and it's a joy being in love with/loved by your best friend. :)

Sorry to hear that the cramps are continuing. Mine have been worse again lately and I will be asking my Dr. about it this afternoon. Will let you know if she has any insight.

Thanks Karen would love to hear what she has to say. Of course I goolged it and come up with all sorts of weird things it could be. Good I am not a complete hypochondriac. They did say it can be kidney related. So I guess that is why it is good to drink the water

The water is good for the kidneys and also helps ensure we're not dehydrated, which can (and does) cause intense muscle cramping. I have a known problem with potassium, so I supplement as advised, but it's altogether possible I require more. And I DO need to drink more water. I'll let you know what she has to say.

Well, the long and short of it is she looked at me like I was crazy and I swear I think I heard her say, "Well DUH..." due to my low potassium levels. LOL She's retesting my potassium, which will surely show low. She also suggested doing foot/toe flexing exercises immediately after removing shoes, which I will indeed try. So, after blood work to check potassium, electrolytes, etc. I'll up my potassium supplement and see what happens.

Good morning all!! Karen you guys moved in together?!! I missed that! Wonderful news!So happy for you.

I haven't had the Premier since they took out the isolate. Back to a powder. Not convenient, but I worry that it's pointless having a protein blend. Who knows though? Wish they didn't do that! 

I'm in the tapering phase for my marathon this Sunday. IT's been quite the journey. Slowly starting a carb load. Get the fuel in the tank :-)

Hope all is well with everyone!
