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 Saturday! I hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.

Happy Thursday!! I made it home yesterday and was able to spend a few hours with Penelope and finish out her birthday with her. I am taking the next couple days off work to rest and just spend time with the family.
I could feel my body literally draining on the plane. I just instantly started to feel sick and just exhausted to my core. I am sure some adrenal dumping from a crazy week, lack of sleep, stress, and under eating finally caught up with me. I had brought food with me but I was really just so busy the second half of this trip I just didn't even think about eating.
I know my body really is really needing some re-feed. Under eating for a day or so can be helpful for weight loss, but do it consistently and it drains your energy and signals your body to slow your metabolism down because you aren't giving it proper fuel.
The other problem with under eating is that it kills your appetite, so even though you aren't eating enough, you aren't even hungry!! So even though I didn't...

First day of absolutely no sugar. For context, I started low carb/carnivore at the end of October last year but I still would have coffee with a little bit of homemade simple syrup and then after doing it a bit, I had small portions clean 70% dark chocolate- it was usually one or the other so carbs were still low. But now I am tightening up and cutting out that sugar.

Crazy busy day!
Having solar panels added to our camper, the mobile rv guys arrived at 8:30 am and didn’t finish until 6 pm.
Had follow-up appointment with eye surgeon 2 hour drive each way and of course he was running behind so I was there almost 2 hours!
Good news: my left eye went from 20/200 to 20/30 vision, yay, and he said it should improve more over next few days. All looks great, no problem blend, eye feels good. No more patch!
They did have to dilate my eyes ugh which gives me such a headache. 2 days in a row now I’ve had an aversion to beef and slight nausea. Assuming it’s from the medication they gave me yesterday.
I made a chuck roast in crock pot this morning and couldn’t eat it. Ended up only drinking a cold brew coffee from Starbucks with a splash of heavy cream. Tonight I made Kelly hogans ice cream using a cup of hwc, 2 egg yolks & a 1/2 pack of caramel coffee LMNT. I ate 1/2 of it. Hopefully tomorrow will be better food day.
