At a time when most women are overcome with exhaustion,Stacy Keibler is feeling better than ever in her third trimester.

And themom-to-be who is expecting a daughter in August credits it all to one thing: a healthy lifestyle.

I havent had one day where Ive been sick or tired, Keibler told PEOPLE at the Popchips 4th of July BBQ Happy Hour event on Tuesday in West Hollywood.

Ive had so much energy, but Im very conscious of making sure I work out every day and eating healthy, so I really, truly believe thats a big part of it.

To keep in check with only choosing the best for her body, Keibler, 34, readsover all ingredient labels if she cant pronounce them, she passes on the product.

I try to be as organic as possible, especially with food. I not only try to eat organic, but no preservatives, nothing artificial, she explains.

Luckily, since she hasnt had any surprising pregnancy cravings, she admits she hasnt had to bend the rules.

Instead, the actress and television host is focusing her attention on preparing for her daughters arrival. And with the nursery ready to go, theres only one thing left to dream about: baby girl clothes!

Its funny because I was actually withRebecca Minkoff, whos having a girl too and we were talking about cute little girl things, she says. I cant wait to get a little Rebecca Minkoff leather jacket!

Why Does Stacy Keibler Believe She's Had a Great Pregnancy?

Pune, June 20: Amid speculation of a possible change of guard in Maharashtra following Congress-NCP's debacle in Lok Sabha elections, Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on Friday said he was not aware of any such move.

"I have not been sounded out on this or called to Delhi in this connection," he told reporters, adding it is the Congress high command's prerogative to change Chief Ministers and he is ready to shoulder any responsibility given by the party.

"Until a decision is made, I will continue with my work," Chavan said.

Senior Congress leaders A K Antony and Ahmed Patel had yesterday met NCP chief Sharad Pawar in Delhi where they were learnt to have discussed the possibility of a leadership change.

Chavan, however, pleaded ignorance about what transpired during yesterday's meeting. He said NCP is a constituent of UPA and such meetings are part of "a routine excercise".

He said he did not know if seat-sharing issues were discussed. According to reports, names of former Union Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, state ministers Bala Saheb Thorat and Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil are doing the rounds as successor to incumbent Prithviraj Chavan.

Former chief minister Ashok Chavan, who had to step down as CM over his alleged involvement in the Adarsh Housing Society scam, is also said to be one of the contenders for the top post. Chavan, a leader from influential Maratha community, is among the two Congress candidates who weathered the saffron wave in the Lok Sabha elections to emerge victorious.

Prithviraj Chavan, who has often been targeted for alleged delayed decision-making, even by alliance partner NCP, said he had taken the maximum number of decisions during his tenure as chief minister.

The 15-year-old alliance was routed in the Lok Sabha polls with NCP winning four and Congress two out of the state's total 48 seats.

A section in the ruling coalition is said to be in favour of replacing Prithviraj Chavan in a bid to reduce the impact of anti-incumbency factor that worked against it in the Lok Sabha polls. Assembly elections are due in Maharashtra in four months.

National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden

The White House just announced additional actions it will take in formal response to Uganda's draconian Anti-Homosexuality Act, which prescribes life in prison for many LGBT people, and lengthy jail terms for anyone who "conspires" to commit homosexuality, or supports, houses, or affirms an LGBT person.

Reuters first broke the news Thursday afternoon that the White House was planning to augment its initial reactions in March and April with additional steps. Shortly thereafter, National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden issued a statement outlining those actions.

"As President Obama has stated, the Government of Ugandas enactment of the Anti-Homosexuality Act runs counter to universal human rights and complicates our bilateral relationship," Hayden said in a written statement. "We announced in April a series of initial responses, and we have since considered how further to reinforce our support for human rights of all Ugandans, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity."

The new sanctions include the denial of entry into the United States for some Ugandan officials who are known violators of the human rights of LGBT people. Hayden also promised the U.S. would soon be cutting off or "redirecting" some foreign-aid funds to Uganda. Previously, "redirecting of funds" has meant taking specifically purposed money from governmental agencies and giving it to nongovernmental organizations with similar missions.

Specific sanctions the White House announced in a blog post today include revoking plans to have Uganda as the site for a new $3-million health institute in east Africa, cancellation of a major U.S. Deptartment of Defense avation excercise as part of its "AFRICOM" program, and loss of funding for Uganda's community policing initiative.

However, Hayden's statement did not outline individual Ugandan officials to whom visas would be denied, nor did it offer a list of Ugandan government programs that will be losing American funding. The White House blog noted that privacy agreemnts prevent the State Department from issuing a list of individuals who to be denied entry into the country under these new measures.

Today's announcement also fell short of addressing Secretary of State JohnKerry's promise to send "experts"from the U.S. to help Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni better understand the "science" of homosexuality. The Ugandan president said he decided to sign the draconinan legislation after being convinced by a three-page report compiled by lawmakers from the president's party who claimed to have "medical backgrounds" that homosexuality was not an innate trait, but a choice.

Nevertheless, LGBT organizations applauded the administration's announcement.

"This announcement sends a clear message that the United States will not tolerate foreign governments engaging in state-sponsored acts of homophobia and transphobia against their own people, said Ty Cobb, director of global engagement for the Human Rights Campaign.We must put all world leaders on notice that such efforts have no place in the 21st century, and there will be severe consequences for engaging in them. This creates an important precedent for leaders and governments considering implementing similar laws. It is important that the Administration continues to review our diplomatic relationship with Uganda, as well as with other nations such as Nigeria and Brunei, which have also taken disturbing steps backwards.
