Spuds is a bull terrier. My brother and my son have staffy bull terriers. I have jack russells and patterdales. They go in groundhog holes after groundhogs. We dig em up once they get the hog cornered.

I am having a helluva time with the diet. Eating properly is easy, the severe leg cramps are making the whole thing almost not worth it. I haven't slept hardly at all in two days. They are VERY bad. As soon as I lay down they hit me HARD. I did some research and the low carb websites recommend morton salt substitute. I have tried tonic water in the past but it is too nasty to choke down. I have used potassium supplements but they were not very effective. I GOTTA get this solved or I am gonna be out of the ballgame.

Doing a keto style diet.
one common side effect is cramps due to flushing too much potassium. I read up on it and bought some morton salt substitute. It seems to have done the trick. Slept like a log last night. Down 19 pounds so far and wearing a couple size smaller pants already so other than the cramps I couldn't be happier.

I've heard about diets like that and that intakeing more potassium and salt helps.

[OHIOSTEVE]

The salt substitute and potassium supp seem to have solved the issue. Took a couple days off and hit the bike for 45 minutes this morning. GOD I HATE CARDIO!!!!

Welcome back!

I totally relate with you, I do cardio every freak'n day! and dont like it, but I love the results

how you been?

[OHIOSTEVE]

Doing well. Have solicited for and received some advice from some well respected board members and will see where that takes me. I seem to be having an injury/ pain free stretch so need to make the most of it.

[OHIOSTEVE]

GOD I hate cardio!!!!!! Did chest work late last night. Woke up at 5:30 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. Finally got outta bed and did 45 minutes on the bike.

[OHIOSTEVE]

Away from home for 5 days. So nothing to "log" for a couple more days.

[OHIOSTEVE]

36 minutes on the treadmill this morning till it bit the dust. Chest workout this evening.

[OHIOSTEVE]

Still at it. Todays workout was swinging a splitting maul in 90 degree heat for 2 hours.
