Today is the first day of Spring, a fresh start, the cold winter (for some of you) is starting to thaw and new life is springing up. Spring is a time of hope and new beginnings.
Today is a wonderful opportunity to have a fresh start and set some new goals. It's exactly 3 months till the first day of Summer!! What can you accomplish if you made your health your #1 priority for the next 3 months!! If things are going well already what is one way you can push yourself for the next 3 months?
What are your goals for Spring 2023? What is that one non-negotiable thing you are going to focus on?
**LIVESTREAM in Locals Tuesday (tomorrow) Night at 9pm est (6pm pst).
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 Saturday! I hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.
Here is a little video of Penelopes performance from her piano recital l last night, she's been taking lessons for about a year and a half. 🎹🤍🖤

Tuesday accountability:
Walked a mile today. HUGE victory. I have been stubbornly resistant to doing that, so yay!
Attaching macros. Logging for now while I get going again.way too much cheese for a normal day but once in a while is OK. Also drank 3/4 gallon of pure water. Also a victory. Had Pepsi Zero as a treat. And (drumroll) I watched the Livestream as it happened!!! I usually watch on replay but I finally made it in real time. Yay me, haha!
So... im super tired. Probably carb withdrawal. Gonna try for early bedtime tonight.
Have a restful night. 😊
Sorry I missed the Live. We had a financial appt & chiro appt after work and then had to get hay and bedding for the cattle before this weekend's blast. By the time I got in it was too late.
Today was all day in front of the computer, being cold, despite the heater right on me.
Tomorrow we'll be taking calves to the sale barn after work. Not sure what dinner will be but hopefully I won't have to cook. 😁
Accountability
Fresh air/sunshine/exercise/sleep
yes when helping with cattle work/no/see first one/6.5 hours
Food
M1: Coffee x2, protein shake

Now I'm off to read and bed.

I completely forgot about the live tonight. My husband and I are prepping for the winter weather we're supposed to get in Arkansas this weekend. We have never been bread and milk people(which is a running joke in Arkansas). People run to the grocery stores and wipe out the bread aisle and the milk. It's crazy. We call them milk sammies. So pray for Arkansas they're saying we will get a minimum of 6 inches where we live. I'm more concerned about our Mom's losing power. Especially my Mom because she's on oxygen full time.
