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 ...
Happy Saturday! I am very excited for the weekend and for a slow Saturday today. Penelope and I did a little shopping yesterday after work (didn't buy much), but just had fun trying things on and singing show tunes in the car. Catching up with some things at home today, and hopefully filming some YouTube content this weekend as well. And of course eating lots of good steak.
What are your plans for the weekend? Any temptations you are looking to avoid?
Happy Friday! I hope you are having a great week. My Mom left early this morning to fly back to Indiana. We had a great visit and we will miss her (she'll be back for 2 weeks at Christmas).
In addition to my Mom visiting, it's been so nice to just not be traveling for a week, and know I don't have to travel next week either! 😂😂 Nothing like sleeping in your own bed, and eating meals at home!! The more I travel, the more I just love being at home! ❤️❤️
Are you a homebody, or do you prefer to be on the go??
Happy Friday evening Family!
I spent the day alone in our office space, which was nice. I finished my tasks for the week, attended a Zoom and then spent the afternoon watering plants and reading.
The grandkids came out after work and we played Legos.
The rest of the evening was talking to DS1, making supper and planning our daytrip tomorrow with best friends.
I am finally out of the kitchen and ready for bed very soon!
Hope everyone is doing great on their goals.
