Here we go!! The start of a new month, and it's a Monday!! Big day to set some goals!! My non-negotiable for this month is to stay carnivore, but I also am setting some exercise goals. Just going to focus on 20 mins 3x a week. I will hopefully build up over time but keeping things very realistic for a while. I have some work trips this month so that goal is one I can stick to even during those trips. I want to set myself up for success and build some momentum!!
What is your one non-negotiable for the month?? What other goals are you setting for May??
Document in the comments anything else you want to remember about where you are today and I'll pin this post to the top again on June 1st and we can remember where we were today!
Also, you don't have to post it but TAKE A PICTURE today!! You will be glad you did!
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. 🎹🤍🖤
*Livestream Monday night at 4pm pst/7pm est
My Mom arrived safely last night, we are looking forward to a fun visit with her. We saw her and of Aug in WV but last time she was in AZ was right before July 4th, which is the worst time of year in AZ because of the heat. We are excited to take lots of walks outside this week and enjoy the 'slightly' cooler weather.
Thank you to everyone that hung out on the Livestream last night. We talked a lot about meal prepping and then at the end I talked about my recent bloodwork results. I'll be expanding on that more in the future as I wrap my head around it.
Have you listened to any good podcasts lately? What shield I add to my current playlist?
Hey Y'all!! I had coffee today and some heavy cream. I don't regret it because I needed the boost of energy it gave me to get some stuff done. I'm working on getting my house completely in order; so that my husband can keep it that way while I'm recovering from my surgery. Along with baking a lot this week for others. Here's my accountability stats. Have a good night. BLESSINGS!!
Late Monday accountability
Worked up at 11am. And decided to drink some coffee with HWC and started cleaning. I did shores and ran some errands. Didn't eat until 5pm. My meal was 2 6onz ribeye and bacon. I ate some gouda bites here and there while moving around the house. No more meals today. I feel full.
Hope everyone had a great Monday.
