Beautiful Sunday afternoon...

Hi,


I woke up inspired today and opted to do some some critical work online, but outside on my patio.  As the image depicts...it is an unusually warm winter day in deep south Texas with temperatures peaking at near 90 degrees Fahrenheit.  

Now,  the weather person made us all aware that our temperatures are set to dip and weather deteriorate with temperatures dropping to the 30s and 40s this week. 

I for one love cold and wintery days.   

In fact,  in my lifetime(I am 54 years old),  I have e actually witnessed snow fall here in my hometown of McAllen,  Texas twice. 

Most recently in 2016.  

While we do experience nice weather here year round,  summer months down here are brutal. 

Temperatures can reach from the mid 90s to the mid 100s with humidity reaching upwards of 80-90%.    


It's miserable.  


Now, my swimming pool keeps me cool during the summer months but because of the sunlight and high temperatures, I swim at night under the stars.

In any case,  I chose to be productive today out on my back yard patio with a view overlooking my swimming pool in the hopes that where ever you are at,   you are staying warm and are as equally happy and grateful for everything. 

I will look to see if I have an image of the snow fall here in south Texas.  

Depending on where you are reading this from,  snow may not be a new thing for you.  


It sure was to us in deep south Texas. 


Wishing an abundance of good health,

Hi, my name is Tommy. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I started this space in the hopes to share my daily journey on all things my health and wellness. You see, I suffered a minor heart attack in the summer of 2024, and that prompted me to make some changes to my day to day lifestyle. So much so that I have dropped around 45 ;pounds thus far an am aiming to lose more! I feel a heck of alot better, my hyper tension is now back under control, and my A1C levels are now at 6, or so, compared to being at a dangerous 8.5. I welcome any suggestions or even ask questions in the space here.

  Embarking on a dietary change can feel like setting sail on uncharted waters.  With countless options available, two popular choices often surface: the ketogenic (keto) diet and the paleo diet.  While both emphasize whole foods and offer potential health benefits, they differ significantly in their approaches. The Paleo Path: Back to Our Roots The paleo diet, often referred to as the “caveman diet,” aims to mimic the eating habits of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. It focuses on whole, unprocessed foods like lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Processed foods, grains, legumes, and dairy are generally avoided. The paleo journey often attracts individuals seeking a sustainable, long-term lifestyle change. It promotes a balanced approach to eating, emphasizing nutrient-dense foods and minimizing processed ingredients. Many report increased energy levels, improved digestion, and weight management benefits. The Keto Quest: Fueling with Fat The ketogenic die...

  Are you fancying a trip to the beach?   Did you know breathing fresh,  crisp salt air is one of the best things you can treat your body? Embarking on a health and wellness journey is a commitment to nurturing your mind, body, and spirit. It's about making conscious choices that contribute to your overall well-being.  While diet, exercise, and mindfulness often take center stage, there's a natural, often overlooked, element that can significantly enhance your progress: the simple act of breathing fresh, salty air.

Keto allows for a variety of foods, including meat, fish, eggs, cheese, nuts, seeds, and low-carb vegetables. This variety makes keto a more sustainable...
