Day 15 Beast Mode Challenge!! It is Monday again! How was your weekend?? I loved seeing you all post some big wins you had this weekend about staying on track and avoiding temptations. If you are not celebrating success this weekend it's okay, today is a new day and it's time to move forward.
This the point of the month where I think you can evaluate your Beast Mode goals and make some adjustments if needed. Evaluate what is working for you and what tweaks you might need to make. Don't be so stubborn to keep doing something isn't helpful for you. The goal of "Beast Mode" isn't to be perfect at following a specific set of rules, the goal is to push yourself to do something ALL IN in order to build some momentum. It's okay to make changes if something isn't serving you or helping you do that.
What is your non-negotiable this week?
*Supporter livestream this week on Wednesday at 5pm pst 8pm est.
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 ...
It's not always steaks and chops for me. Sometimes I want something quick and easy, yet still filling, with all the nutrition I need. I didn't take anything out for lunch so I just threw some bacon cheeseburger meatballs in the air fryer and made 4 scrambled eggs. It was really good and a nice change up. I'm trying to drop a few pounds so this is a light meal and all I ate for the day.
What are your quick carnivore go to's? Meals you can throw together in a few minutes?
This morning my son asked for hamburgers....at 9am. Why yes I can do that! Hamburgers is his safety food. A hamburger never let him down. Which made me wonder....what is your safety food??
Waving Hi!!! Been busy but trying to keep up with you all. I'm doing well "enough.". Food is mostly ok. Exercise is all the busy things and the vibration machine. Some walking.
We head to Branson on Friday through Monday. We have planned our on-plan car snacks.
Ok I'm at work so back to the computer.
Just wanted to check in. 🫂👋🏻
