Got everything done except for charting. I am about a month behind.
jeff cooked dinner tonight. stir fry chicken and spinach sauce with chunks of white cheese. an indian simmering sauce, forget what it is called. It was delicious! Cauliflower with cheese. All low carb.
I have a mammo and bone density test coming up.
For some reason for the past 4 years since I fell and broke my collar bone, then they determined that I was borderline osteopenia.
Remember when I was hypomanic and obsessing about dieting and losing weight and was down to 122 pounds? rapid weight loss can contribute to bone loss.
Anyway that is when they checked my vit d status and was discovered that I was low.
So I started taking vit d 5,000 units a day and 500mg a day of calcium.
But I don't drink milk. so for the past 4 years I have not been taking the recommended alotment of calcium.
Also I was taking magnesium oxide for constipation which is not the correct form needed for calcium absorption. so should have been taking magnesium with it. I have not.
The calcium magnesium needs to be in a 2:1 ratio. 500mg/250mg
My new doctor said to wait to take the supplemental mag until I have the bone density test done. And see the results and go from there.
I bet it will be fine as I have gained weight and heavier people don't have as much risk for osteoporosis because of their extra weight.
I am losing weight slowly now...snail pace so that should not be an issue.
