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 ...
*sorry had it pre - set for the wrong day. It's been a long few weeks 🤪😂
Happy Friday!! I flew home from Calgary yesterday, it's been a very long few weeks and I am pretty exhausted. Looking forward to a few days of rest this weekend (and I am excited to eat at home!)
This is the first weekend of our Sept challenge, are you nervous about any temptations? What are the possible things that might get you off track this weekend? How can you prepare/plan now to avoid those temptations and have a successful weekend!?
Since our Costco now carries picanha, I've been eating it daily. Sometimes I'll mix it up and do something different with it. I cut into chunks, marinate it with minced garlic, salt and some form of heat, then grill it. Reminds me of the garlic steak at Fogo. Yesterday when I was adding the habanero powder, I dumped way too much in the bag. It wasn't going to waste so I ate it and my mouth was on fire. Guess I need to be more careful. Still loved it.
Do you like spicy? What's your go to? What's are some mix it up ways you make steak?
Quick check in since I'm at work. Life is crazy at the moment. I haven't even had a chance to read Laura's post this week. I hope to catch up this weekend.
I'm doing well. I'm doing a modified beast mode until after our anniversary & day trip on the 15th. Then full on beast or lion thru October.
Hope all of you are doing well. I miss you. 🫂🥰
