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 ...
I truly enjoyed my first week being on summer break. Now that my kids are home for the summer as well it's all hands on deck. We are working on movement this summer. My oldest is away at a youth leadership camp with the scouts and the other two are doing daily walks with me.
I was able to package the two ribeye loins I got last night. $360 total for two loins ÷ 42 steaks = $8.57 a steak. Keep a eye out for those deals!!
Good morning. I made waffles with the equip salted caramel and added real bacon bits. Some leaks out but they were delicious!
Accountability for Monday, June 1st:
What a crazy/stressful day. I won't go into details but the jest of it is that we are looking to buy a different house. I was proud of myself that I didn't let the stress get to me and cause me to eat something I shouldn't eaten. It was around 1:30pm when I first ate. I had 2 leftover pork chops. Just ate them cold. I did not get any exercise in today. My husband asked if I wanted to go for a walk and I knew I should have but all I wanted to do is chill out and try to finish a book I had been reading for a while. Didn't finish the book 📚 but it still felt good to read in it. I had a friend call me and we spoke for about an hour. So it was like 9:40pm when I had supper which was egg salad and pork rinds.
