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! Here is the recent YouTube interview I did for someone else's channel. It was fun because I felt like she asked me a lot of questions that I don't normally get asked. Sharing the link below. I hope you have a wonderful Friday!!
Good Morning Y'all!! I'm still doing well eating. But sleep has been terrible until last night. Last night I was hungry close to bed time. So I ate something. I slept better than I have in several months. I know the rule of thumb is stop eating 3 hours before bedtime. I'm going to try this eating something small before bed and see if it continues to help me sleep better. If so this may help change my life drastically. I feel rested today for the first time in a couple of years. Is there anyone else that has done this or am I a lone wolf in this area? Blessings!!
Today is day 5 and I'm already noticing some positives. Last night after dinner, I didn't have that post dinner horrible fatigue I usually get. I was tired, but still felt well enough to clean the bathroom and that was after getting up earlier than normal at 5:20 am. That is so not like me! I seem to have more energy and motivation, which feels amazing! I'm also down 4 pounds so far which is a great motivator. I know it's water weight, but it's so nice to see the scale move.
