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 ...
It's not always steaks and chops for me. Sometimes I want something quick and easy, yet still filling, with all the nutrition I need. I didn't take anything out for lunch so I just threw some bacon cheeseburger meatballs in the air fryer and made 4 scrambled eggs. It was really good and a nice change up. I'm trying to drop a few pounds so this is a light meal and all I ate for the day.
What are your quick carnivore go to's? Meals you can throw together in a few minutes?
Well went to Dr. Today I was scared to tell her I was Carnivore so I told her I was keto but I couldn't do veggies. She said I need to get on a multivitamin since I am not getting the nutrients from veggies not doing that. She is putting me on progesterone. Also wants to put me on a probiotic +prebiotic and a supplement for leaky gut. She sent me a link to order all this from fullscript. I have heard of fullscript has anyone else used this?
Today was a busy one. Got in some weights this morning followed by several eggs. Enjoyed some leftover chuck roast for lunch. Since I was running around at dinner I just grabbed the 5hard boiled eggs that were left in the fridge. Strange to say I ate 10 eggs today🤣🤷.
My middle son has ADHD and he has struggled a lot this summer with food addiction. He is 12 and we have tried different things in the past. Well...I think I cracked the code!! This year he has decided to join both marching band and football! And to be honest a lot of nights he has been walking or biking during his brother's cross country practice. It has me thinking he was just bored and now that he is out and doing all the things he doesn't have time to be bored. He did admit he gets super hungry at bedtime (probably because he didn't eat much during the day) and he doesn't want us to get mad if he comes to the kitchen. We wouldn't be mad but I told him we can work on that. He really does not want to go on meds so ...
