Oh just a quick hello to say Happy Valentine's Day. We are having a lovely day. We had a nice dinner together, gave each other a few things. Actually, I had been giving my honey a little goody each day until today. I thought it was a lot of fun to do. And he had something to look forward to it every day, I think he really enjoyed it. Today I didn't give him one, as we are spending our real "Valentine's Day" on Friday or Saturday because he works like everyone else lol. But our girls did give him something and a card, of course, I helped out :) He laughed but love it. I had been decorating the house since before February started, and I didn't get everything done I wanted, oh well. I guess it will have to wait until next year. Something to look forward to, but I am happy with the way it has gone, we both have enjoyed it. He went and Continue Reading
Ketogenic Dieting
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain-function. However, if there is little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures. Almost half of children, and young people, with epilepsy who have tried some form of this diet saw the number of seizures Continue Reading
February, Organizing & Keto
February, the month of love, ahhh! Another excuse to go shopping lol. Last month I posted, what once. See I must do better than that. By the time the end of the day comes, I don't want to type anymore lol. Let's move on from this, shall we? What have I been up to, and how are my goals to achieve my New Years resolutions going. Organizing - I am working on it. I have moved the Christmas stuff I bought on clearance down to the basement, but I still have to go down there and find a bin for it, as I don't want it to sit in bags, that just won't do, and William wouldn't like it either. He likes organization, imagine what he feels when he comes into my craft room lol. My new Cricut is still in the box. Like I said my organizing is going slow but it is going. I have about 4 boxes of friend mail sent by one lovely friend of mine, Barbara who I Continue Reading
Happy New Year 2018
So what is going on with me? I leave this blog for a whole year with nothing added. My diet went down the drain, but I have plans of starting a new one, a much different one. A Keto diet. I am excited to do it, as I have said before, it is not just a diet, it is a way of life, a lifestyle change. My honey, however, is going to join in, because it will just make things hard if it is only me doing it, and he wants to lose a bit of weight he gained since he stopped smoking and drinking, wow huh? Big props to him for doing it on his own! Apart from the diet things, this blog has literally gone nowhere. And that is because I have another dedicated blog. I wanted to have just a diet blog, but it doesn't seem like that is going to work out. This domain is soon to expire, and I think I just may let it. I don't have much on here as far as Continue Reading
Happy New Year!!! 2018 Wow Right??
A new year, better planning & organizing, selling on ebay and losing weight. Those are pretty much my New Years Resolutions, we will revisit this in December/January see how I am doing. This post sat here unwritten for 2 days, today is January 4th, 2018. I began with my resolutions and look at me still falling into my old ways *kicks self* lol. Happy New Year everyone. I hope you all had an amazing and memorable holiday. We had a very nice one, even while I was sick for the entire time. At the writing of this post, I still have a cough that is slowing making its way out the door thank goodness. Being sick for the holidays wasn't fun, but I tried my best to keep the cheer going. Did my home decorating, shopping and all. It was our first Christmas in our new home, so it was exciting! Yesterday we were hit with a blizzard, thank goodness Continue Reading
