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 Sunday!! How is your weekend going? It's been a while since we shared some gratitudes.
A mindset of gratitude, consciously focusing on and appreciating the good in life, is one of the most evidence-backed, accessible ways to improve your well-being.
It boosts your happiness and optimism, helps reduce stress and anxiety, improves your sleep, and even strengthens your relationships by making you (and others) feel more valued. Instead of getting stuck on what’s missing or going wrong, it retrains your brain to notice what’s already good.
Ultimately, a gratitude mindset isn't about ignoring problems but equipping yourself to navigate them with more clarity, strength, and joy. And it's simple (and free) to do. Do you have a gratitude journal? What are you grateful for today?
Livestream Monday (tomorrow) at 7pm EST
It's been a hot minute. We are crazy busy over here with moving my Mom, oldest was away a NYLT (National Youth Leadership Training) for a week which he loved, took the middle go carting for his birthday with a friend gift, losts of baseball, and finally farmers market selling poison...aka Freeze dried candy. Hopefully our last bedroom gets carpet this week and then we can focus 100% on my mom's old house getting it ready to sell. I hope everyone has a great week.
Had a great weekend, got my nails done for the first time in a year! Lost 4 of the ten lbs I gained by going off the rails in May. Stayed totally carnivore this past week. Eggs and bacon for breakfast around 9-10am, so 17 hrs fasted, some turkey pepperonis for a snack/lunch around 1-2 and then dinner at five was pork spare ribs. I made them in the instapot and then finished in the air fryer! So so good, I am no longer intimidated to make ribs haha. This week is eggs and chicken sausage links, turkey pepperoni, and steak for 3 nights and barbacoa for 2 or 3 nights. Hope everyone had a blessed weekend 💜🫶🏻
