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 Tuesday!! And the last day of the month. If you didn't share your win on yesterday's post, go take a minute to do that, and read some of the awesome success stories from people that shared. It's so inspiring to hear how other people are improving their health!
Today let's talk about where you've gotten stuck this year. As a reminder, this isn't to confess or feel shame, it's simply to identify why you have gotten off track so that you are able to make adjustments moving forward to help you learn and be more successful. Then tomorrow we can focus on the steps that we're going to take in order to do things differently.
Where have you gotten stuck this year so far? Or what has been your biggest struggle?
I am not really doing that good with my daily/weekly goals with my habits.... however with the food part of life I am still rocking it. Today I took a risk and tried my hand at a "leftover" casserole. It was taco meat, diced ham, grilled chicken cut, eggs, a little milk. Kids weren't a fan but husband said it tasted like a omelet and loved it. 🤷 Trying to keep the leftovers down as we leave Sunday for Maine.
I haven't posted in a while. I started back doing my version of carnivore yesterday. I'm trying to do more protein then fat to help me lose some of the visceral fat and just weight in general. So I tracked everything I ate today. I finished the last of my raw milk today. I'm hoping to improve my sleep, hot flashes, and joint pain. Plus be an example to my family. Tomorrow night our nieces are coming over for supper. We're cooking Steak and Shrimp.
