Happy Thursday! The company I am here working has their anniversary today so they are having an all day off-site fun day where everyone gets to do activities like indoor rock climbing, bowling, and indoor surfing. I feel like I'm constantly saying this but days like today just remind me how far I've come with my health and my physical abilities and I'm feeling grateful. ❤️❤️ I never would have come to an event like this where I felt like I would have to be the outcast physically previously or I would have just been to embarrassed even participate in most of these activities. But I am here participating and having a great time.
My 7 days of one meal a day and no cheese is going really well. Today is the third day and so I brought some Carnivore Snaxs with me because I assume there won't be any food served here that I can eat. I did wake up a little bit hungry this morning but the fasting is getting a lot easier so I can tell that muscle is coming back.
In reality, I may end up eating a second smaller meal when I get home because one bag of Carnivore Snax wouldn't be enough for me for the entire day (it depends on if I can add any food to it when they serve lunch). But I don't consider that a fail on my goals because I'm going to stick to my non-negotiable of "just stay Carnivore" and adapt as needed.
How is your May going so far? Have you been able to stick to your goals? I hope you have a great day!
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!!
