I weighed in today and I’m down 4.6 lbs from January 1. The bloating and extra water weight is almost back to where I was before the week of Christmas Eve when my choices wavered.
Do people share their actual weight here for accountability or is it upsetting for others that may have more to lose? Or is it inspiring to others?
I plan to eat breakfast and lunch and do a 24 hour fast and eat after church tomorrow.
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!! I hope you had an amazing weekend and are feeling confident going into the week ahead. Yesterday I did some meal prep for Angus, to send meals to the dog trainer who's watching him while we're out of town.
I also did some prep for travel food for our family. And some meal planning and grocery lists for our trip. My mom is grabbing a few things from Costco that she'll then drive to West Virginia, and we will stop at a Walmart once we land and get the rest of the groceries before we head to my grandparents house. They live over an hour away (each way) from the closest grocery store so we always make sure we're really stocked up and plan ahead for our meals for our visits.
Do you have a plan for your meals for the week ahead or do you just take it one day at a time? What are some of your grocery staples that you grab to make sure you have on hand to help keep you on track?
Today was a busy one. Got in some weights this morning followed by several eggs. Enjoyed some leftover chuck roast for lunch. Since I was running around at dinner I just grabbed the 5hard boiled eggs that were left in the fridge. Strange to say I ate 10 eggs today🤣🤷.
My middle son has ADHD and he has struggled a lot this summer with food addiction. He is 12 and we have tried different things in the past. Well...I think I cracked the code!! This year he has decided to join both marching band and football! And to be honest a lot of nights he has been walking or biking during his brother's cross country practice. It has me thinking he was just bored and now that he is out and doing all the things he doesn't have time to be bored. He did admit he gets super hungry at bedtime (probably because he didn't eat much during the day) and he doesn't want us to get mad if he comes to the kitchen. We wouldn't be mad but I told him we can work on that. He really does not want to go on meds so ...
Well went to Dr. Today I was scared to tell her I was Carnivore so I told her I was keto but I couldn't do veggies. She said I need to get on a multivitamin since I am not getting the nutrients from veggies not doing that. She is putting me on progesterone. Also wants to put me on a probiotic +prebiotic and a supplement for leaky gut. She sent me a link to order all this from fullscript. I have heard of fullscript has anyone else used this?
