Feb 22nd – Feb 28th Values have not been filled in yet as we where away in Victoria and I didnt have time to fill them in.I plan to do that tonight on night shift. I did however continue to write everything down.

We did eat out alot while away and I had sushi On the 22nd, 23rd, and 26th. We ate out twice as well in Victoria and twice in Vancouver. I have done a level today but I am expecting it to be higher.

I also Changed to bettermilk on Feb 18th and I am so happy to be swtiched back. Luckily the bettermilk tastes great again! I am flavouring it with MIO and I have 5 diffrent flavors and they have no PHE, no protein, no calories so I am not adding anything extra.

Another change this month is I was down 9 inches, since January 1st and I started that green smoothie challenge with Young and Raw.

I only did 3 blood tests this month, I missed last Saturday while we where in Vancouver for BC PKU DAY but I did do one today!

I baked twice this month and have increased my fruit and veggies thanks to the smoothie challenge.  This month however I need to work on my water intake again and be working out harder. I am down another 2 inches for the month of february.  My goals this month are to bring my levels down to between 4 and 5 . I would like to work out harder more cardio and continue with the smoothie challenge.

So all in all it was not a bad month. Traveling is always hard and I am working to get back on track as of today. We got back from Victoria yesterday 3 pm. I thought I did badly while away but looking over my records I did not do to badly. even with eating out and sushi I was still around my target of 500 mg phe , and tried to make better choices. My calories where a bit to high . This month I am trying to keep my phe under 400 mg  daily and lower than 1800 calories. Heres hoping!!

So thats all that is new for me today. Hopefully more later! Today being March 1st I have already done my weigh in , updated the PKU Biggest Loser group, done a blood test and set up my new notebook for the next 3 months and had my green smoothie!

Todays weigh in was 179.4 thats only 2.2 down since Jan 1st but 11 inches. Here is wishing for good luck and more success in march!
