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,…

Weigh-in #26, I’m back! Slow Progress!
As mentioned in my past 2 posts I believe, I have continued with my dieting, if you follow me on instagram (which I urge you to hehe) I post now and then what I eat, how I am doing.

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.

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…

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2015
So I have slacked on blogging, definitely one of my New Years resolutions. I have managed to stick to last years New Years resolution which is dieting, and I have made my regular Saturday weigh-ins, I just have not posted. I hope to update soon, before my dieting year ens, which is mid Jan. My New Years resolution will always be part of my life, or should I say, a way of life. I had a wonderful Christmas, with Williams extended family, then Christmas eve with his mom, sister and niece and nephews. Then we spent Christmas morning, and the whole day just us 3 (William, myself and Daisy), it…

I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving, as I probably will not post on Thanksgiving, but I do hope you all have a lovely time. We are going to the in-laws, that will be a nice time, I am sure! It usually always is, and with plenty to eat, I will of course will have to watch how much I eat, I have lost a lot of weight in the course of almost a year, and it makes me very happy, but I don’t plan on back tracking to where I used to be. I found a picture of me, I am not sure of when, and I am literally…
