I am wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, and a prosperous New Year. My husband is off for the next 10 days, and we are going to enjoy each other's company, and try not to get into each other's way, as that can happen sometimes. I try to give him some space, and let him do his thing. Our Christmas has been nice so far. Just last weekend, we went to my in-laws for our annual Christmas luncheon, it was very nice.

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.

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
Goodbye July, Hello August!!!
It is hard to believe that Summer is halfway or more gone. Nooo I have actually really been enjoying Summer. After losing a lot of weight, the heat and humid weather has become a bit more bearable. I am thankful for that. I am although struggling to lose more, it seems like now, I just look at food and I gain weight LOL. Two weeks ago, I lost 6 lbs great right, then the following week I gained a pound, I blamed it being that time of the month, with bloating and all, but then this weigh in I gained 3, so I am really bummed. I am going to have to be stricter than before, or I will get no where. I won't be able to achieve my goal this year, so I am just going to have to do the best I can, and take it a day at a time. So apart from that, I am just doing the same stuff as usual. My YouTube channel over at PrettyThingsRock. I am now Continue Reading
