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 Tuesday!! We are officially home and settled. You already know we are the people to immediately unpack and start laundry. 😂 We all crashed hard last night and enjoyed some good home showers and sleeping in our own beds.
Today will be a long day with the Healing Humanity event this evening, excited to see some of you! Hopefully we'll get some updates tonight as well about future release timelines we can share with you.
I am catching up on all the posts here since we have been gone, it's so great to see several of you posting daily for accountability. I think it helps so much in staying on track to just share your food/movement etc. It's a nice way to check in and just stay accountable. Do you find it helpful for you?
More storms today but managed to smoke some what we call "meat calzones". One is just a loaf of meat the other two are stuffed with cheese and pepperoni. School starts back up tomorrow for staff as it will be a busy rest of the week I plan to fast till Friday. It will just be easier. This weekend I plan on prepping plenty of food. Between school starting back up, sports, and well life I figured it's best to be prepared.
Happy Monday!! We are flying home today from WV, it's been a very special visit but we are looking forward to sleeping in our own beds tonight. Lots of big family meals, but always options that are Carnivore/Low Carb friendly. In our family, there are several diabetics (or recovering diabetics) so everyone is always considerate of making sure there are sugar free options.
Group meal examples: My aunt made a huge batch of grilled chicken for everyone, and kept the bbq sauce off for people to add on the side if they wanted it. She also had a large deli meat/cheese platter to make sandwiches or just eat plain.
-We did grilled burgers and hot dogs, with make your own versions, add your own cheese or bacon, you could use a lettuce wrap or add a bun, just do what works for you.
-We fed everyone with a huge taco bar and did the same thing. Keep it carnivore friendly, or use lettuce, or turn it into a burrito.
We relaxed some but I also went on long walks a few times to keep my ...
