Here we go, the first weekend of World Carnivore Month! Are you nervous or worried about temptations? What are your plans for the weekend and how are you ensuring you will stay on track?
Today we have the Healing Humanity event Meat-Up, hoping to see some familiar faces. 🥰 I will try and get some pictures to share later today!
Have a wonderful weekend!!
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 Monday!! Day 4 of our Beast Mode Challenge! My friend and I ended up going to a Brazilian steakhouse last night. It was the perfect place to load up on meat before a busy week.
I hope you are feeling strong and confident headed into the week ahead. I love hearing about everybody's beast mode goals. However, don't forget to pick one very simple non-negotiable thing to focus on. That way when your day doesn't go as perfectly as you planned, or when you "fail" on some of your beast mode goals... You can still focus on your non-negotiable to give yourself that daily win.
Remember we don't have to do everything right all the time but the most important thing is to keep moving forward. Don't let things not going perfectly have you give up on all of your goals for the whole month!!
What are you eating today??
Happy Sunday!! Beast Mode Challenge Day 3!!
I am flying to Houston today for a woke conference for the week. I'll be mostly stuck at the hotel/conference center so I am bringing a lot of my own food with me. And thankfully when I land I'll see my friend (and coworker) who lives in Houston so we'll hit up a grocery store and get me stocked up. (Actually she usually grabs me things she knows I eat and already has them on hand for me when I arrive). Having supportive friends and planning ahead for weeks like this makes all the difference.
How are you prepping today to ensure you are prepared and successful in this upcoming week? Meal prepping anything?
