Alright guys. I haven’t been on the locals app for quite some time. Was doing so good on strict carnivore! Then came December. Completely off the rails a couple of times now. Those few times of eating off plan and I’ve gained 16 LBS!!! ☹️🤮 I decided to come back to the group because I need your support to kick my butt in gear again! All that hard work for 10 months down the drain in a few days!
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 ...
Equip is running their biggest sale of the year so far. 25% off site wide and 40% off your first month of a subscription (which can be canceled anytime). Equip is a beef isolate protein so no whey/dairy! The discount also applies to their collagen, colostrum, supplements, etc.
We use Equip for protein pancakes and protein smoothies. My Mom puts a scoop of protein and collagen in her tea in the mornings and it's a great addition to coffee (and an easy 20 grams of protein).
They have "low sugar" flavors that are sweetened with coconut sugar and monk fruit (around 4-5 carbs per scoop). But they also have versions sweetened with Stevia that are only 1 carb per scoop. And they have an Unflavored version that is 100% Carnivore, the only ingredient is beef isolate.
Discount code applied with this link.

So looks like we are officially going to Meatstock next year. I mentioned it on the Livestream last night, but they had messaged me and asked me to be on a few panels. I replied back to them and suggested they just let me emcee it since I do a lot of that in my normal job as well. They were excited about that option so looks like we are good to go! (they put me on the website already haha)
It's May 7th-9th 2027 (the 9th is Mother's Day FYI) in Nashville next year year. UPDATE: Discount code LAURASPATH (no E) works for $50 off, and they have great early bird pricing right now too. https://meatstockconvention.com/
