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 ...
Well, I had my first resistance to temptation this evening. All of a sudden, I wanted a bag of Potato Chips but I didn't get it.
Good Evening Y'all!! I'm getting ready for vacation in 24 days. I'm looking forward to going on an airplane with my husband, our kids, and our grands. I'm Proud of myself today. Animal products today along with a sugar free 7Brew Americana with heavy cream. Also had a coke zero sugar. Those are the only sweet thing I drank or ate today. I was successful with under 10 net carbs today. My goal in the next 24 days is animal products only and under 20 net carbs. I may not be successful on the carbs because I use raw milk in my coffee most mornings. I'm happy with my day because I was successful. Blessings y'all!!
