Beast Mode Challenge Day 2 💪🦁
I had so much fun on the Livestream last night, I hope you are also feeling motivated and super focused!! I went to Costco and stocked up on meat yesterday, I made sure to get things that I don't get tempted to add cheese to! 😂 I went to the sauna yesterday which was so wonderful, I missed that a lot when were in Spain! I call Day 1 a success! 💪💪 How did it go for you?
If you are coming off eating carbs just know you could feel worse before you feel better. You may experience some headaches or be extra tired as your body goes through those carb withdrawals. Make sure to have some electrolytes, focus on getting lots of sleep, and fuel your body with meat!! You should feel better in a few days!
For those of you that have done this before or have been doing this a while, what tips do you have for beginners?
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 ...
Good Evening Y'all!! Today has been a not so good day. I'm still not feeling well. I got a steroid shot today to see if it helps kick this mess. No fever just fatigue, cough, headache, and runny nose. I learned something about a steroid shot it made me eat almost everything in sight. I know I made a bad choice today, but I also know that the one bad choice doesn't mean I failed at changing my lifestyle. It will if I allow it to have control but that's not happening. I will be getting a good dinner here shortly.
I ate a burger patty with salt for brunch.
After the steroid shot I ate some junk food. Not a lot of it but enough for me to realize what I was doing. Then I ate some pork king good sour cream and onion pork rinds. Y'all those are so good. So tonight I'm gonna have either leftover pulled pork and chicken that we still have or some air fried chicken thighs. I'm honestly leaning towards the chicken thighs. I will post pics of my brunch and dinner later along with my macros. For me...
Happy Wednesday evening Family!
It was a busy day with work, and then our new office space Open House and Ribbon Cutting. About 1/3 of our other co-works come up to our office so it was nice to put faces with some names/voices. I worked a long 11 hour day so I'm starting to fade here.
Exercise/fresh air/sleep
Standing desk, not much, 6.5 hours
M1: protein coffee and 2 more regular cups of coffee
M2: Homemade egg & turkey sausage quiche, 1 beef stick
M3: Leftover fajitas w a little sour cream.
I was proud of myself of not even being tempted by the cookies at the reception. I was busy giving tours of our new space and talking to co-workers.
Early bedtime as Farmer is fighting off the crud Again!

I was listening to a YouTube recently … I think it was Ketogenic Woman? They were talking about women and fasting. They said women do better with an alternative fast like doing sardine fast, bone broth with butter fast, egg or something like that. Considering doing an egg fast. Anyone else have insight into this?
