I know nobody else will care but a non scale victory for me is I just shoveled my back yard walk and front yard. It was hard but honestly my husband always does it and when I tried in the past I am lucky to do part of it and give up. I took the day off so I decided to give it a go. I have to say I feel like I did a good job. I even made a couple paths for the dogs 🤣🤣
You have to celebrate the little things sometime🥰
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 ...
Day 2 of our Beast Mode Challenge!! How are you feeling going into the weekend? I always say, "you know you're serious when you start your goals on a Friday!". Good for all of you for not "waiting till Monday" to get started! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The most important thing going into the weekends is to PLAN AHEAD!! Think about what temptations might arise and make decisions now for how you will handle them. The easier time to make a hard decision is before it happens, then in the moment you've already decided and have a back up plan.
What are your plans this weekend? What temptations will you be facing and how are you going to avoid getting off track?
