Happy Monday! How are you feeling today? Everything go well this weekend? Any challenges?
I know you have goals/non-negotiable set for the whole year, but Chris talked the other day about how short term goals can be really motivating. Each Monday I like to set a new goal, it might be the same as the week before or maybe you made a small tweak based on how things are going. But I think that doing short term goals and small adjustments like this is so much better than sticking with something that's not working, or making drastic changes.
So what is your one goal or non-negotiable for this week?
*Supporter Livestream Thursday this week (and next week).
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! I was supposed to do a YouTube Livestream today but Chris and the kids need to go up to the cabin for the night, which means I will be home alone with Angus. I just think it will be too stressful for me to manage him and that stream today. However, I will 100% be doing the Livestream on YouTube on Monday night though.
How is your weekend going? Yesterday we had my favorite meal of skirt steak, chicken, and shrimp...and today since I am home alone I'll just be eating leftovers.
What are you eating today? Share pictures below!
As an FYI, the Locals issue of posts cutting off when people posts pictures, only happens in the app. If you just go to the browser on your phone or computer and login you can see everything. They are working on fixing it though! Sorry!
Happy Saturday!! We have a dog trainer coming to the house to work with us 2x a week for the next month, starting today. We are excited about that, Angus is doing great with commands but we want to make sure we are doing everything correctly to avoid any bad behaviors in the future.
Angus is almost all the way transitioned over to a meat/whole foods diet. We've been going slow based on how his bowels are adjusting, and just using the one bag of kibble we had originally bought. I am finding that raw eggs are giving him some diarrhea so we are slowing down on those for a bit.
It made me think about the transition to Carnivore for people as well? Did you experience the diarrhea that's common for people when they first start carnivore? Did you experience the keto flu? What symptoms did you have when you first went carnivore/keto? How long did it take for those to go away?
