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 Wednesday! Today is the last day of my conference and I fly home this evening. It's been a good trip but after traveling for a few days I am always so glad to just eat at home again. No matter how much food I bring with me there is nothing like a home grilled steak. I would much rather just eat at home most of the time.
We have lots of new people in this group and some that have been doing this for a while. What is your go-to meal when you are eating out? Share below and help give people some ideas on how to eat out and not get off track.
Happy Wednesday everyone!! Food today was 1 beef rib cooked low and slow in the crock pot all day and 2burger patties. I love beef ribs but can only eat 1 due to the fat content...2 sends me to the bathroom.
It always amazes me how much kids eat at school..esp being a small country school. But wow today was A LOT. I so bad want to say something but I just smile and nod.
Hi All,
I joined the May challenge but have been lurking in the group reading posts and getting to know how the whole Locals thing works. (I'm very low tech.)
Figured it was time to introduce myself. A little about me. I've tried several diets over the years,you name it I've probably tried it. Each would work for a couple weeks but eventually I would fall off and gain every ounce and more back. For several years I've had stomach and digestive issues which my doctors could not figure out. Then I started having joint issues, knee pain, shoulder pain, bursitis in both hips. More doctors, more tests, told to lose weight, sent to nutritionist who put me on SAD diet and told to get cortisone shots. Nothing helped.
While doing my own research about a month ago to try and alleviate my joint pain, I stumbled upon a video from Dr. Berry and Neisha about the 7 inflammatory foods to avoid. Not one of my doctors ever told me about these. At first I thought this man has done gone and lost his mind (don't ...
