We have something similar: we'd say someone is "all bark, no bite".

Track your calories, macros, and any micronutrients that you're concerned about (e.g., sodium, fiber). Set a goal and stick to it. I use the LoseIt app and a digital kitchen scale.

Drink a lot of water. Half your body weight (in lbs) in ounces. So if you weigh 130 lbs, drink 130 ÷ 2 = 65 oz of water daily. This is your baseline; add more for exercise. Don't go overboard because too much water is bad for you.

Aim for 45-60 minutes of vigorous exercise 3-4 times a week. I like weightlifting for this. On the other days, be active, but don't push yourself too much. You need rest for recovery.

After your workouts, don't eat back all your calories, but do consider having something protein-heavy.

Sleep. I can't emphasize enough how important sleep is. Try to get 7-8 hours every night. This is the hardest one for me personally; I don't have a ton of advice. But developing a bedtime routine helps.

Weigh yourself every day first thing in the morning, after you've used the bathroom and before you've had anything to eat or drink, with no clothes on. I like my Withings scale because the app tracks my measurements over time.

Have a mindset of lifestyle change - otherwise, if you go back to old habits, you're likely to gain back any weight you lose.

Good luck!

I'm not sure, and I know it depends both on the severity of a person's IBS and the type of magnesium supplement. But I drink a ton of water so I'd hate to have it supplemented with magnesium!

 

Today CheeseToastie created a new community for women's interests (makeup, women's health, skincare, whatever). I've agreed to share it around so if you're interested, come join us at !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al

 

 

A few weeks ago I posted that my greyhound Greta was in the hospital, and so many of you left such nice comments and well wishes - thank you! She's been back home for a couple weeks now and is doing great.

Here she is with her latest bandage (featuring a G💚 decoration because my vet's office is the best!):

 

My little old lady is in the doggo hospital right now (she will be fine) and I miss her and her sweet lil pointy face.

Please share pics of your dogs to cheer me up, especially if there are any grey owners here!
