Happy Monday evening everyone!
It was a good Livestream tonight, as much as I got to hear. Was making Farmer's supper and folding laundry and had to leave early. I'll finish it tomorrow. Welcome to the new people I saw!
Today was a day. Good part was we are now on corn, so moving forward in harvest. And the cold front came through so it's much cooler this evening and will be tomorrow. But 90 again by the weekend. 😱🥵
Exercise/movement: Not a lot. Busy at my desk at work. Did do a Wm shop (again!) for Farmer. No good yellow tag sales in the meat dept.
Not enough time this evening to go on a walk. I miss it. Hopefully tomorrow after work.
Food: Fasting. I"m at almost 24 hours of my 42. I'm feeling strong this time around. No extra cravings while making dinner. I made up burger patties for lunches this week. I fried up 2 and will break my fast at lunch.
Laura was talking about her labs tonight. I've been feeling a bit worn out too. I wrote it off to my age (61) and how busy we are on a daily basis. But then I wondered if maybe we are low in iodine as Dr Berry says most adults are. I know we don't eat near enough seafood. So we've been taking 3 drops 2x a day and I'm feeling different/better. (Just asked Farmer if he can tell a difference and he said he feels better too.) Can't say I'm bouncing off the walls, but I don't feel as tired. I'll keep you posted on how we feel over the next month. We also added in Vit D3/K2 as we are heading into the dark months.
Ok, time to finish cleaning up the kitchen and I'll see my bed earlier tonight. Sleep sweet!
Nathaniel has perfected what he calls "Medium Rare" Pepperoni chips. For a more crispy texture leave them in for one minute..but he thinks 55 seconds is the perfect chewy/crunchy texture.
Well total miscommunication with the pig for lunch today. 😂 We thought we ordered the whole pig but maybe because we ordered so much other food or because there was only 3 of us they brought us one PORTION of pig and not the whole one. It was probably all the food we needed because we also had blood sausage, fried bacon, octopus, and a bunch of cheeses...but I was bummed I didn't get a picture with one. 😂😂 I took this before from someone else's table thinking ours was on the way still. They cut the pig with a plate to show you how tender it is. The skin was absolutely incredible. They only season it with salt and then pour over some of the broth it's cooked in on your plate. Such an incredible meal.
This is such a good episode!! The first half they talk statins and the prescription drug/medical industry. Highly recommend listening.

Happy Monday!! How was your weekend? I hope you are feeling great today and ready to start a new week! Today is the last day of September, can you believe it?
What was the biggest challenge or set back that you faced in September?! I don't ask this so you can confess or feel shame about it. I think it's important to reflect back and think about the events that led up to that setback or challenge so you can learn from it next time and experience a different outcome. Those setbacks can actually help us getting stronger and become more consistent if we can learn from them!
Hope to chat with you on the Livestream tonight.
Day 13 - Down 0 Today
Today's motivation is to be thankful!
All the destruction in the south from that hurricane. It is just mind bending some of the photos and drone footage in some areas. I am so thankful to just be alive, have running water, a working bathroom, food in my fridge and freezer, our hospitals are open, gas stations are full and most importantly the people I love the most are safe.
Pray they all get help soon and those who are missing will be found. It should bring our country together and yet somehow I am less sure this time.
Some people are without anything and I know how I felt when we lost everything in a fire when I was a teenager. You walk around the next morning and realize you don't even have a toothbrush or a hairbrush or a change of clothing it is a strange feeling. My heart breaks for them all. It is hard to sit and write down what are the necessities I need to go to town and get just to get started with your first day of life after losing everything. All your...
