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 Monday!! How was your weekend? We are half way through February already, how have things been going so far? If you've gotten off track it's a good time to reset and build some momentum before the end of the month. We have 2 full weeks til the end of February. Plus, we are going to blink and it's going to be summer!!

What is your non-negotiable for this week?

Hi everyone- checking in.
I’m doing well- staying on carnivore and have now gotten in a great weight lifting routine. I’m still hovering around 158-160 lbs since the first week in January. I’m frustrated but I feel well, get good sleep and good movement so I’m letting it roll. I might try 1-2 OMADs to get things moving a bit but won’t push it.
I was very stressed with some things and have now managed to finally give these worries, fears, and frustrations completely to the Lord. It was very hard to let go but the worry was destroying me. I’m hoping to see some weight loss now that I won’t have that extra cortisol.
I’m mostly eating twice/day with 1500-1800 calories, lifting heavy 3x/week (1 lower body, 1 upper body, and 1 full body), yoga once, sauna 3-4 times, walk 10,000-15,000 steps daily from work and walking my dogs. I should be losing!! 😖
Have a good week everyone!
