Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.

Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪

Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.

What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?

Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.

For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...

Happy Monday!!! We are 2 weeks into September, far enough into it that you are either crushing it and seeing results, or it's been long enough to find yourself off track. Regardless we still have more than 2 weeks left in the month, plenty of time to make some progress by the end of the month. 💪🏼💪🏼

I am doing a Livestream this afternoon/evening if you need to hang out and and want some motivation.

What is your non-negotiable for this week?

Good Morning Y'all!!! I had a great Life Relaunch event this weekend. Watching God transform lives is Awesome!! It is such an honor and privilege to have a front row seat as a facilitator at these events at my church. I Praise God that there are men's and women's Life Relaunch teams in many states throughout the US.

That being said I had a great weekend food wise also. I found out my Pastor's wife is eating Carnivore too. It helps me so much to have someone so close to me eating the way I am. Believe me Life Relaunch event weekends are a real challenge because we have snacks set up for the ladies. In my opinion it's a grazing table loaded with junk. I surpassed all the junk this weekend not one bite. I did have 3 breath mints because I drank coffee and when I'm praying with ladies I don't want them to smell coffee breath.

Lately I have been on a hamburger patty with bleu cheese and bacon kick. So that's what I had for lunch Saturday. I had a can of armor vienna sausages Saturday night ...
