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 Saturday! I ended up delayed a few hours getting home yesterday but thankfully I made it home right at bedtime. And even better WE HAVE A WORKING BATHROOM AGAIN! 😂 The guys worked hard while I was gone and we have no construction in our house again and everything is fully repaired.
Hanging with the kids and Chris today and just taking things slow since I have to leave tomorrow morning for another work trip. What are your plans for the weekend?
Well first 3 days of school done! I messed up yesterday and did not eat breakfast. I have been dividing my protein up to have 44g at each meal to meet my protein goal. So when it came time to track after dinner I only had about 900 calories but I was not hungry that was not good at all! Got to eat breakfast from now on!!
Happy Friday! Quick trip for me and headed home this afternoon after I teach another all day class. It's been a good trip, I was even able to hit up the hotel gym one of the days.
I saw this post on IG the other day and thought it was a great visual about the misunderstanding of large amounts of salt. Things like salt and red meat get demonized, but the majority of the reasons why they're bad is because people are eating them combined with high amounts of carbs and sugar. Meat alone and salt alone are extremely beneficial for us. But it's really hard to break people out of this mindset when it goes against everything they've been told their entire life.
Is this information about high salt something that's still hard for you to believe? Any other pieces of health advice in you had a hard time believing when you first heard of keto/Carnivore?
