Today is a weird one so bear with me. 😂Today I am grateful for diarrhea 🤣🤦🏼♀️ and normal digestion 💩 and just anything that is NOT the terrible constipation that I dealt with for years. After eating huge amounts of meat at an all you can eat meat restaurant 2x in the past week I am just amazed at how normal my digestive system operates now. After dealing with constipation for so many years, it is not very polite to say this, but the diarrhea I had when first going carnivore was a relief'! 🤣 But mostly now I am grateful for normal digestion!!
We have a busy weekend and then I fly to Calgary on Sunday, what are your plans for the weekend?
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. 🎹🤍🖤

Happy Sunday! I know this week ahead will be very chaotic for many people, I hope today that you can find some moments of peace and rest. We've been having a lot of great conversations with the kids this week focusing on the true meaning of Christmas. ✝️
I encourage you to take a few minutes today to rest and prepare your heart for the week ahead. Health is so much more than what we eat and getting in our steps. True healing comes from peace in our hearts. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
Happy Saturday!! My mom made it safely to Arizona last night and away from snowy/freezing Indiana. Chris and I are headed up to the cabin today for the weekend just the 2 of us, then we will have a couple weeks all home together with my Mom for Christmas. I am working Monday to wrap up some things for the year, but then taking almost 2 weeks off work for the holidays. I think in my 20 years working in corporate jobs I have never taken been off work for 2 weeks over Christmas/New Years. I am so excited about some time to just decompress and spend quality time with my family before a very busy January/February.
What are your plans for this weekend?
Happy Friday! We are so excited that my Mom flies in today to spend Christmas and New Year's with us. The only Christmas she hasn't been with us since the kids were born was the Christmas that Chris went into the hospital and almost died 😂 so having her here makes us feel safe. Chris and I always get away for a little staycation for a couple days while she's here this time of year but mainly we all just play a lot of games and spend time together for the holidays.
Who are you spending time with over the next couple weeks?
