Hi friends! First, let me tell you I had the Botox shots yesterday afternoon. They felt like bee stings.All 31 of them in my head. Then I had a headache from the shots all night. The headache seems to be reduced today. It takes a few weeks to feel the results of the Botox. Thank you for your prayers and care my friends.♥

While I am waiting for my special linen (from the second place I ordered from) for my big start that I want to begin on AotH, I am making very good progress on 'Forever Be My Always' By Emma Congdon.

 I was recommended a book by a friend last month. The book is:  The Prime:  Prepare and Repair Your Body For Spontaneous Weight Loss by Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary. No, I was not recommended it for weight loss. The author/doctor actually was suffering migraines and was seeking ways to get rid of them, other than prescription medications. This author is Indian. She has gone back to her roots and gives some information and tips that I am willing to try. Not necessarily for weight loss, but for healthier living. This book did make me think a lot. It helped me to understand many unwise decisions Americans make with food that we never realize, or think about. Beyond obvious things like fast food and sugar.

 Integrative neurologist Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary discovered a beautiful side effect to the eating and lifestyle tools she gave her brain patients--spontaneously shedding excess pounds. In this, her first book, she shows us how to sharpen the brain, and smarten and heal the gut. Weight gain is not about the food, but about the body’s environment. Excess weight is a result of the body being in a toxic, inflammatory state. If your body is not prepared or ‘primed’ for weight loss, you will fight an uphill biochemical battle.  Her program is not about what you can't have or do, it's about adding simple teas and herbs, and succeeding without giving up any foods you love. With The Prime, Dr. Chaudhary has reverse engineered our way of eating, so we can stop dieting backward and start losing weight instead. You'll learn:

--The importance of neuroadaptation, food addiction, and the brain (or, why your brain and gut have made it so hard to lose weight in the past!)
--Why it’s not about what you eat, but what you digest
--How to determine if you have a Leaky Brain—and what The Prime can do about it (hint: everything)
--How to easily crush cravings (no willpower required), ignite energy and fat, and biohack your lifestyle habits.

Lastly, you’ll learn how to live fully Primed, the secrets of the Super-Primed, and when you’re ready to explore new foods, how to eat according to your unique constitution.

PREPARED TO LIVE AT YOUR PRIME?

We will have a bit of warmer weather this weekend. Lots of melting snow means twelve dirty, muddy poodle paws to constantly keep clean this weekend. ;)

Thank you so much for stopping by today my friend. Thank you for praying and thinking about me when I had those Botox shots. I appreciate you!
