My only regret was not taking a pic! My daughter made the most delicious prime rib I’ve ever had. There are six of us and she thought I was crazy for buying a 7 lb roast from our local butcher. There’s not much left! My tummy is happy!!!
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 had a friend over for dinner last night, he recently turned 30. Since we met him about 5 years ago, he has lost over 100 pounds. He is so lucky he woke up to his health issues before he has some catastrophic health event, so many of us end up with live threatening issues before we end up making radical changes. It's such a blessing he was able to lose the weight and regain a healthy life while he was still very young.
He is such a vocal advocate for keto/carnivore because he knows that it saved is life. He asked us "what are the things you tell people that change their mind the most?" I thought that was a good question for this group. If you were trying to convince someone to change their ways and try Carnivore/keto, what are some things you think would inspire them? What were the things that you heard that inspired you?
Quickly as it's just past 9p.m. and I need to get to bed.
Cold 🥶 day today and windy. And 80s by Wed. 😵💫. Please keep praying for containment of the wildfire in West Central Nebraska.
Still fasting and feeling good. Cold, but good. Lots of LMNT and some tea and coffee today. Fun fact, peppermint tea isn't too bad in Lemonade Salt.
Ok I'm off. Sleep sweet.

I am experimenting tomorrow morning with scrambling eggs before work. I want to try to get some protein numbers in to help from my under eating.
I had an appointment today with my work clinic. We pulled blood for an annual panel, checking D3, and a fasted insulin. I’m excited to see what my numbers look like.
