Debbie Cousins's Journal, 04 Jul 19

Yesterday was a good day exercise-wise because I swam 1/2 mile (15 laps) in the pool, and then I did grocery shopping at Walmart AND BJ's. Food-wise, I made all good choices and stuck with my WOE. My RDI was high because I forgot to turn on my "Do Not Disturb" feature on my phone when I went to bed at 7pm, and was awakened by my son wanting to borrow some brown gravy mix. As a result, I was awake from 9pm until after 2am! While I was awake, I got hungry and had a High-Fiber Muffin - which turned out to be a good thing, because I FINALLY had a bowel movement after four days without one! Happy Independence Day! I'm thankful that we live in a free country and enjoy many liberties that other nations don't have.

4 days without a BM is super unusual for me, am I the only one?

I think if you change diet or you have a bit of stress you may tighten up. Just normal stuff.

There's nothing wrong with accumulating your swim laps or steps. In some ways, it's better, especially if you can incorporate a brief higher-intensity period every few laps.

I have been using soluable fiber, 1/2 dose morning and night, and I'm much more regular. If I don't go for several days, I take mineral oil - very gentle, works well.

Thank you for this post Debbie, I decided to make me some high fiber muffins. I was doing prunes yikes lots of carbs and kinda messes up the rest of my day as to what to have.

when I do low carb, I take 500mg magnesium. 1 pills every day. It's on my nite stand so I won't forget. If I do forget, we have an issue.

My husband takes about 4 Magnesium a day. The key is 2 of them are Mag Citrate which many others take also, to encourage regularity. The other 2 could be Mag Gycinate or Oxide which is the cheapest that do not absorb well. It's the Mag Citrate that affects ones bowels.

I include almonds and pecans in my diet, drink at least 89 oz. of plain water (throughout the day), and take mag citrate ("Calm") at night. Keeps things moving.

@debratrachta anderson, be sure to drink plenty of water when you increase your fiber.

Thank You Debbie Cousins, I do believe that was my problem. I at least doubled my intake of water yesterday and am going to try and triple today then I should be good. I seem to be having easier movements today.

My jug holds 32 oz. for one fill.
