Happy Monday Evening All.
Thanks again Laura for the great Livestream. And it was nice to see everyone tonight. Those who couldn't join, you were missed ( ahem, Veebs)
Today was a chilly, damp, and then rainy day. Not the funnest day to do a fast but I'm doing it. 25 hours in.
And while thinking of our walking members... Kristie, Veebs, BeckyLynn, I walked at lunch. Oh how I did not want to go, but I wanted to finish listening to last week's sermon and then 4 blocks in, I remembered I downloaded that silly Map My Walk app, I walked over 1.14 miles (add on whatever 4 city blocks equals to) and more than 2715 steps.
Who am I anymore???? 2022 Kay would be amazed. 2026 Kay is applauding and telling me to keep going, get those steps in.
No food report but I have been drinking hot drinks. Coffee (nope, not a 100% clean fast) and Mango Chili LMNT today. I tried a hot Chocolate Raspberry LMNT. It's not for me. I'll add some into the Equip I mix up to add to my coffee (a spoonful of the coffee "jello" )
Still needed warmth, I had a cuppa Cranberry Vanilla tea. THAT hit the spot.
I took notes on Thanksgiving foods. I'm hoping I can do away with most of the carby sides. If not, I'll be making myself all the carnivore sides so not to cave in. Carnivore gravy for the turkey breast. Egg bread or chaffles. The chicken dips. Of course Deviled Eggs.
Ok, I'm off to bed. That 4:40 alarm will come way too early.
Pray and be peaceful. Hugs. Sleep sweet.
So sorry guys, my 2 1/2 hour drive home from the cabin is turning into a 5+ hour drive home so I am not going to make it in time to Livestream tonight. I'll post the link for the Dr Berry Livestream for tomorrow when I know it. I'll catch up on posts here when I get home if you have any questions.
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.
Today I am grateful for the rain! ☔ 🌧️ I definitely took it for granted when I lived in Midwest, but living in Arizona everybody just gets so excited here whenever it rains. I was volunteering in the second grade class in church yesterday and all the kids were just sitting by the open door smelling the rain and begging to go play in it. I remember so many times being really annoyed because of the rain living in Chicago or Indiana, today was a fun reminder how important it is and the life it provides.
Okay now let's set some goals for the week ahead. Coming from someone who follows politics VERY closely, I will say I am glad we keep politics out of this group. It can be so divisive and more often than not adds just adds unnecessary stress to our lives...and in this crazy world it's nice to have a place where non of that matters.
That being said, this week will be intense for America, and no matter who wins there will be a lot of tension in our country. I only bring this ...
Today has been a day! Woke up with my neck stuck. Had a long string of frustrating extended family drama texts. Got lost on the way to Bible study thanks to google. BUT Had a lovely even though emotional study with sweet ladies from church. Several shared hard things in their lives and how they stayed grateful. Afterwards I Wanted ice cream but told myself maybe later. Then took a wrong turn going to get my emissions test and had to double back getting stopped by the same train 3x! I hate how the train tracks run through town. This often happens. Then a guy driving a snow plow nearly ran me off the road. Passed another ice cream stop and said Nope not today! And then I stopped at the bank, on my way out a huge black truck nearly backed into me and so I honked to get his attention so he’d stop. Then he chased me down and blared his horn as he passed. Drove past the final ice cream stop on my way home and SAID no thanks. Got home and saw a little “black, something evil mouse” ...
