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 Saturday!! Been really good to get back into our normal routine for the last week, thankfully it was a slow work for me at work too. How has your week been?

Tonight we are taking the kids to see Nate Bargatze, he's a clean/family friendly comedian. He is performing in the huge basketball arena 2 nights in a row, which shows you how popular he is, we are excited. The rest of the weekend we are mostly just relaxing (and going to church).

What are your plans for the weekend?

The Free Quit Sugar Summit with over 30 speakers/presentations starts today! There are sessions all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (mine is Sunday afternoon). More details, the link to sign up, and a full list of the speakers below...

Many of you know the story of our family, and how Chris almost died and went on to reverse his Type 2 Diabetes. I was very proud to share the story of our family and our lifestyle as a part of the Type 2 Diabetes Summit. In this session I shared not only our lifestyle changes but the physical addiction to food. My main message is that we will never find lasting healing until you address both sides of that coin. I thought being a perfect carnivore would erase my struggle. It didn't, until I addressed both the physical and emotional sides.

Proceeds from this event go to support the American Diabetes Society (the society started by Dr. Berry as a low carb alternative to the ADA). Join me and 30+ incredible Drs, experts, and speakers sharing their ...

Happy Thursday!! I feel so much better after a few days sleeping in my own bed, eating at home, and in a good routine walking and going to the sauna. We only have 6 days left in the month? How are you feeling? On a roll or struggling? Don't let 6 more days pass by before you refocus, especially with the holiday weekend ahead.

What are you eating today? How are you getting in some movement?
