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 Friday!! How has your week been? I am very excited for the weekend, hopefully will catch up on lots of sleep and record some YouTube videos. We have still been in puppy routine over here. Angus is sleeping through the night and mostly no accidents. We've been taking him a few safe places to get him used to people/the car etc. We've had him for 2 weeks and he's getting so much bigger already!!
What are your plans for the weekend? Any temptations you are expecting? How are you going to handle those so Monday morning you are feeling proud?
Coffee Challenge ☕✨
Since yesterday, I’ve stopped drinking regular coffee. I realized I was having way too much — even up to 7 cups a day (!!). So I decided to completely cut it out.
I’ll still enjoy coffee, but only 1 cup of decaf per day.
Yesterday I had a very mild headache — more like a light pressure than actual pain — and by 7:30 pm I was already very sleepy. I went to bed at 9:30 pm and slept all the way until 6:30 am.
And honestly… I feel amazing today.
My goal now is simple: enjoy just 1 decaf coffee a day. Luckily, I have access to organic coffee, so I know the caffeine is removed naturally, without chemicals.
Back from vacation 💞 we had a lovely time. However New Mexican food is low protein and when you order ribeye or brisket or steak it comes in small portions and poorly cooked. I mean I didn’t think you could ruin a ribeye but they did. We could make a fortune if we opened a restaurant selling meat…
Also somewhere I saw a carnivore person post these beef burgers from Walmart and I tried them. Will definitely purchase them again. Broil 6 min from frozen and you have dinner!
