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 ...
Twas like Christmas for me this week. We've had our Weber Genisis II for almost 10 years now. It still works fine, but the new ones have some features I really wanted for a while. This week we happened to see the one I want for a deal, plus I get 10% off, free assembly and delivery as a veteran. Saturday the new one was delivered and I couldn't be happier. This one has an extra sear burner and a side burner so I can cook fish outside in a pan. I feel blessed and excited for lots of steaks to come. (Below is the new one and old one.)
What's your dream grill?
If you've tried making the pork belly, let me know how it turned out.
I was tempted to get a cookie at the mall today. Went to Chipotle and got a cup of chicken and a cup of carnitas with sour cream. Not perfect but better for me than what I really wanted!
Then I got back in the car and the song “Not Today Satan” came on. Was fitting because I am getting back on track and I’ve got goals I want to hit! 🔥
Totally just venting here: I wish Locals could fix the problem of not cutting off posts. I’m going to have to start getting on my laptop. Not my favorite!
Haven’t done daily posts in awhile. I am doing pretty good. My biggest struggle right now is completing a fast when I say I’m going to fast. One of my biggest problem is undereating I’m sure which is making it so hard to fast. I need to track everyday but I hate adding that in. 🤦♀️
