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 ...
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I can't believe we are in the last couple days of March already!! Before we start a new month and set our goals for April, let's reflect on March. First we celebrate the wins from the previous month, what has been your biggest win in March? What's been the best thing that happened to you over the past month?
Tonight I am doing a Livestream on YouTube at 8pm EST (5pm PST). Hope you can join, link below.
Happy Sunday Family!
We're still dealing with wildfires in Nebraska. Thankfully none close to us here in the SE, but we are still concerned and praying for our neighbors in the west. Rain!! please Father God!!
It's been a week, still! Apparently I was in a bad way, as I've been told more than 3 times, I'm finally looking better. Sheesh! I chalk it up to not enough sleep. So will be hitting the bed before 9 p.m. every night for the foreseeable future. And hopefully by 8:30.
Yesterday I needed to help out the kids and babysit the grands, so I was up and out of the house by 6:30 a.m. Today we slept in until after 9 a.m. The old farmer guilt tries to get to us, but we really need to get our rest. Church can be done at home.
I've been reigning in my food choices. Mostly beef and eggs right now. Anything else seems to cause so much bloat.
And finally, a question: Anyone know anything about vibration plates? My ddil has one and I tried it yesterday for a few minutes. Is it worth ...
