Okay I never ask this (and normally I don't care), but this is my first video working with Thrive as a sponsor so I would love for it to have good reactions. If you watched my Fridge/Freezer video and liked it can you go give it a Thumbs up please and even possibly put a comment (not about Thrive just in general). Please 🙏🏼❤️
That kind of stuff early on definitely helps videos be recommended more and can help with views overall.
Thanks!!!
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 ...
Made it thru 5 states today. Two more to go but only 4hrs of road time. We pushed hard today to get as far as we could. Food wise I made meat calzones for us to eat when we stopped finally at a hotel. But to be honest it would of been better to fast. I wasn't all that hungry and neither was my husband. But that's okay we have leftovers to enjoy tomorrow! I also have burger patties packed just in case. Tomorrow we make the final trek into northern Maine. I did have someone complement my "eat meat" front license plate.
Six weeks ago I had a conversation with Dad about how reducing the crazy amount a carbs and sugar he was eating would help with the pain he was in. I gave him a getting started guide from Dr. Berry's website. I come home for the 4th & find this. And he's down to 20-30 carbs a day.
My family took a weekend trip to the Smoky Mountains for the 4th. I’m VERY proud to say my husband and I stayed on track with our eating despite all the temptations! A local pizzeria there offers an Italian sausage crust for their pizzas and, let me tell y’all, it was one of the highlights of our trip 😂I got a classic “supreme” style and my husband got a Philly steak with no vegetables. It was nice to actually pick up a slide of pizza instead of just eating with a fork. More pizza places should offer crusts like these.
