Happy Monday! I am headed to Texas today for the week. I won't have a car this time and they are doing group lunches most of the week so I am prepared and bringing a lot of food with me. I am planning to do a little fasting as well but bringing all the food I could need definitely takes away any stress/anxiety I have about what and when I will be eating.
How are you feeling about this week ahead? What is your non-negotiable for this week? If you have watched the video I shared yesterday did that change your idea of what your non-negotiable should be? I will make a suggestion...if you find yourself breaking that non-negotiable or having trouble sticking to it each week then it's not the right one for you. If you are having trouble sticking to it then try making it more simple this time. Think of the one thing that is tripping you up the most and just focus on that one thing.
I hope you have an amazing week!
I don't typically love cooking with cast iron, despite the excellent results they can bring. It's messy and smells up the house. Add to that, the one we have is super old and not very good. We were recently gifted a really good one from Lancaster Cast Iron so today I decided to give it a try. We have a side burner on our Weber so I could do it outside. I sous vide a steak, then seared it in tallow on the new pan. Man it was incredible. What a difference it made from our old one. Super easy clean up too. Below is the pan, of course I forgot to take a picture of the steak haha.
Do you love using cast iron? What are some favorites you make in them?
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 Monday!! We ended up having a really busy weekend, ending with a very late night last night. My sleep has been so good the last week, but last night it ended up being a very short night. As much as I have been focusing on sleep, sometimes you need to just enjoy a late night out with your husband. 🥰
How are you doing this morning? Excited for another Monday? We have 2 full weeks left in October, let's make them count! What is your non-negotiable for this week? Come hang out this evening on the Livestream if you can!
Good Evening Y'all!! I did good today even with going to see a doctor and physical therapist today. I got told no exercise except walking slowly on treadmill with no incline until the achilles tendonitis heals up. The doctor wants me to wear a boot. The physical therapist is concerned about me falling in the boot, because my balance is already messed up due to the CP. So the boot makes me way more unstable on my feet. That being said here's my stats for today. Still no dairy except butter and no eggs. Tomorrow will be 20 days without those things. BLESSINGS!!
Good Morning Y'all!! I didn’t post this weekend because I had a Life Relaunch event and it's just focus on it until it's over. I ate real good considering there was all kinds of snacks and sweets. Which I contributed to the sweets because I made a couple cakes for the two day event. I did eat 3 lifesaver mints and 6 altoids this weekend. But other than that I stayed on track. Here's my stats for both days. I'm tracking but I'm also eating intuitively. BLESSINGS!!
