It's been a while...

Howdy Ya'll!

I know its been a while since I have written a blog post. I have been super busy lately, and of course still tired. And then its the end of the school year, so lots of stress and business at work, too.  I have lots of appointments and updates to report on today. When we last left off, I was working hard to learn this new way of eating. I have had some successes and some failures. The biggest thing my husband and I were struggling with is Keto Flu. Headaches, muscle cramps, stomach cramps. Ugh, it was awful. We already take magnesium supplements daily. We drink Smart Water or put pinch of sea salt. But despite all our efforts, we were still struggling. The cramps in my legs and muscle spasms were awful. I finally realized I needed potassium! Magnesium is great, but if your not getting enough potassium, then the muscle cramps and headaches are horrible. So I finally got a potassium supplement and started taking 1 per day as the bottle suggested. A few days later I saw this meme and then checked the bottle, only to realize I was not getting nearly enough potassium to get myself balanced back out again. So I increased the dosage, not too much, but just enough to help get my levels back up. After about a week, I was able to back off the potassium and I am now holding my own without the supplement. Whew! Nothing worse then having a headache and not being able to take anything for it, because I am allergic to NSAIDS.
