Accountability post: My non negotiable for September was to post my macros every day and I made it. 🙂. By tracking macros, I learned a lot. For instance, todays macro show 22 carbs but they are from protein powder and dairy. Time to fine tune what I eat. On to October!
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 hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.
Here is a little video of Penelopes performance from her piano recital l last night, she's been taking lessons for about a year and a half. 🎹🤍🖤

Well if you saw my Instagram stories yesterday you know that today we are NOT going to Mexico as planned. If you didn't know, there was an escalation yesterday between the Mexican cartels and the police, specially in Puerto Vallarta, and the US is recommending not traveling to Mexico. Roads are being blocked and the airport in Guadalajara was attacked.
We were going to Cancun, which at this point has not been affected, however not knowing if things will continue to escalate around the country in the upcoming days, we decided it was safest to not travel to Mexico this week. As a pivot I was able to get a refund on our hotel and flights, and immediately rebooked us to go to Maui, Hawaii instead. 😂 So we still leave this morning for vacation, just do a different location. Sending lots of prayers to everyone in Mexico currently. 🙏🏼
I will check in when I can but honestly we plan to just really disconnect this week and spend time together as a family. I will resume morning ...
Quickly, bed time.

Popping on to say HI! It’s been a crazy week but I was able to stay 90% carnivore traveling and being in charge of a grazing table for 150 guests at my in laws 50th wedding anniversary party. I’m SO exhausted but it was beautiful and worth it. Plus I got to eat at BWW 2x while we were gone 🥰🥰
I didn’t get many photos because my phone wasn’t in me most of the time… but here’s a few and my sister was the photographer so she sent me the food pics since I didn’t have my phone on me before people devoured it.
