How Fast Did 2019 Arrive?
I would say warp speed. I felt as if it was just Christmas, and now it is almost the end of January, wow! Happy New Year! I hope your holiday was fun and memorable. I had a nice Christmas with my honey and his family, and then here at home with just us and the girls (our cats: Lily & Daisy). We had some snowfall last week, not a lot but it did make it very cold. Today is warmer so it is melting away. However, it is super windy and it does cause me concern. The last time we had strong winds a tree fell on our deck, and…

Ketogenic Dieting
What is Ketogenic Dieting? Per Wikipedia – 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,…

Failures, Realizations, & Try Again!
I am back again, and giving this another whirl. So let me give you a little update since my last post. I realize it has been quite a few months. After my last post, I went into my 2nd 30 day set of juicing. From my last post you can tell it had been rough, even my fiance noticed I was depressed. So he suggested I have 1 meal a day, I agreed. So, my 2nd 30 day began, I looked forward to the meal. At this point, i was doing fine, until the 2nd week came around. I then, couldn’t help, but snack on something here and there. By…

Slow as a snail! But I don’t Give Up!
I am back. The past 3 months I have had quite a struggle with my weight loss. I am very happy to say I have not gained back the 100 yay!! But the struggle has been harder than I thought. After the 100 lbs loss, losing more has been a yo yo thing. I lose, than I gained. I do blame myself though. I was stricker during my first 100 lb loss. By now I should have lost 24 lbs but I have not. I have only managed 10 lbs, which is still something, but as I mentioned, it has been nothing but a yo-yo effect. It has bummed me…

Biggest Apologizes! I hit my 100 lb milestone, YAY!!!
Let me start by apologizing. I have gotten so busy, and I didn’t have time to come and post updates, for anyone who cares *rolls eyes* LOL. This is more for me than anything or anyone else. I have been keeping up with my weight loss, as you can see from my title. I have weighed in every Saturday since the last time I posted, and I will be posting my photos from those times, which is a lot if you think about it. But it is for my own record as well. I feel horrible not updating, but I am happy I am keeping up with my diet. I…
