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. 🎹🤍🖤

Happy Thursday!
@JerriOConnor posted an awesome Before and After picture yesterday and encouraged everyone else to do the same. So today let's do that!! Any before/after pictures you have post them below to share some encouragement to others. And remember that not all transformations are noticable in pictures so feel free to mention any unseen benefits below too!!

This way of eating can feel isolating and sometimes restricting, but when we see how it's transformed others it can help keep us motivated and encouraged.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Thursday (Friday for me!!)
I'm fasting today (8p.m.yesterday) until I decide to stop. Ear is still plugged and struggling to hear is exhausting. I have a whole new appreciation for those who deal with hearing loss constantly. 🙏🏻
I'm working on my plan to clean up my life, mentally and physically and emotionally. It's time to take charge again. Back to fasting, rebounding or walking, eating very clean and being aware of what I put before my eyes. I hope to do this for 90 days with the exception of Thanksgiving and then only one treat. This should take me to Dec. 22nd and allowing myself a holiday treat.
I can do this! I can do hard things! I've been strict before and thrived and I can do it again!! 💪🏻💯
