Botox treatment..

Today I had my first Botox treatment for migraines, I have been having chronic migraines since I was 14 year old. I will have 18 injections over 12 weeks for a year.  I also found out that:

Since the 1970s Botox has been used to treat a variety of medical conditions. Today there are at least 20 conditions where Botox may be used.

These include:

Cervical dystonia- severe neck muscle spasms
Blepharospasm – an uncontrollable eye twitch or muscle spasm
Severe and excessive underarm sweating
Eye alignment or fixing ‘cross eyes’
Bruxism or teeth grinding
Overactive bladder
Chronic migraine

I have two of these conditions. I grind my teeth,really bad. I go through two mouth guards a year, before I got a mouth guard a five years ago I used to wake myself up from grinding. Maybe the botox will help with this as well.

Low Carb Chips Recipe

Low Carb Chips Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 egg whites
• approximately 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
• seasoning to taste (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Grease a mini muffin pan REALLY well with vegetable or olive oil. You can also use Pam, but personally, I don’t think it works as well.

Separate 4 egg whites and seasoning of choice into a bowl and whisk well. I just add a pinch of garlic salt and black pepper, and sometimes rosemary!

Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of your egg white mixture into each muffin compartment (just until you have a very thin layer covering the bottom). The muffin pan I use has 24 slots, and I find that 3-4 egg whites fills them perfectly. Keep in mind, the thinner you cover the bottom, the crispier your chips will be. If you make it too thick, your chips will only be crispy on the rim, but still really tasty!

Top each one with a pinch of shredded cheddar cheese. When I’m done, I use a small spatula to make sure none of the cheese is touching the edges for easier clean up. The cheese tends to stick to the sides a bit. The silicone muffin tins are much easier to clean… I’m ordering one pronto. ;)

Bake for 10-20 minutes or until the edges have browned. Your baking time will depend on how thick your egg mixture is.

Use a small spatula to remove the chips from the pan. Eat immediately and enjoy!

Coconut Haystacks (Keto /Low Carb)

Ingredients
½ a bag of Lily's Chocolate Chips
2 tablespoons of butter
1½ cups of unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted
Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Spread coconut on a cookie sheet and bake for 3 minutes.
Remove from oven, stir, then cook again for 3 minutes or until coconut is lightly browned.
Using a double broiler, bring water to a boil, then turn down to simmer.
Add ½ a bag of Lily's Chocolate Chips and butter in a double broiler and stir until completely melted.
Add toasted coconut to melted chocolate. Unsweetened coconut varies in shape and size so it may take a little less than the amount I have listed. Keep adding coconut until it is completely coated with the melted chocolate.
Spoon approx a ½ to ¾ a teaspoon at a time on parchment paper.
Set in freezer for 10 minutes, then store in fridge.

Weight issues

I deal everyday with weight issues. I know I hear all the time oh you look great , yet to feel you look great you have to feel you look good in your own skin, and for me that has always been a struggle. I go up an down all the time in my weight. Recently I have been trying to eat clean and be more self aware of what i am putting in my body. I have been running and trying to get to the gym. How about yourself. do you struggle with any weight issues and how do you deal with them.
