How can it be so c.o.l.d. one day, and warm the next? Yesterday I was chilled to the bone even with a winter coat and beanie on. Today, I wore a light jacket and was tempted to take it off because the sun was too hot for comfort.
You never know what you'll see when you go for a walk. We walked through town and into a nearby neighborhood. I thought we would see more Christmas decorations, but most of the houses didn't have outside lights or decorations . My favorite decorations this year were the cow and donkey blow-ups.
There was a small petting zoo set up in town, but no animals. Maybe they will be there on the weekend.
Anyways D and I had nice weather and an enjoyable walk today.

Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.
Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪
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 Friday!! Many people struggle on the weekends because so many of us have the mindset of "I was good all week I earned a treat." Or "I worked hard all week I deserve a cheat." But unfortunately even just small deviations on the weekend likely are taking away all the progress that you made throughout the week.
I know a lot of "health influencers" online like to talk about an 80/20 rule, or 90/10 (meaning it's okay to cheat 10% or 20% of the time). But that only works for people who are capable of eating something off plan and then getting right back on again. And usually the people saying that we're never obese or struggled with food in the first place.
This weekend just keep reminding yourself that "it's not worth it", and "I worked hard all week, don't blow it this weekend!!". Even if you're feeling stuck or stalled, I promise you consistency is the best way through it!!
What are your plans this weekend.
Hi. I've been watching all your YouTube videos. Decided to join. I have been eating beef, chicken, lamb and salmon and shrimp. Only 2oz of cheese a day and sour cream. I was stuck for a while on the scale until I started tracking 70/30 in carb manager. I am sedentary due to hip and leg pain. I do feel that I need to track to lose weight. I was eating a pound of beef a day. I now realize a half is enough. I have bacon in am as well with my eggs. Im doing 2 meals a day with 20 hour fast.
Happy Thursday! I am flying home this afternoon after a busy week of work. I'll be home through the end of the month so we can do a Livestream on Monday evening! How is everyone feeling?
We are officially 2 weeks into Beast Mode!! Are you still on track? It's okay if things aren't perfect, the point of Beast Mode is to not let little setbacks get you off track for the whole month. We move forward, no matter what! 💪🏼 You can still lock in and make some great progress by the end of the month!
What's going well this month so far?
Where are you getting stuck?
