Happy Friday! I am feeling very restored after a more relaxed day yesterday. I went to the sauna and went tanning, did a Costco run (which I love) and mostly just hung out with the kids. It felt soo good to have some grilled steak and chicken and just sleep in my own bed!
Today we have a little family adventure and are taking the kids to an indoor skydiving place (fun fact they have weight limit, and before Carnivore Chris and I both would have exceeded that and wouldn't have been able to do this). Then tonight Penelope has a piano recital.
What are your plans for the weekend? Any temptations you foresee or situations you are nervous about?
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!! We are 2 weeks into March already, how have things been going for you? Have you been able to stick to your non-negotiable this month so far? If not, it's okay to reset and make some adjustments. If you are struggling with sticking to your goal for the month then it's you need to make it an easier goal. The point is to find a way to get a quick win daily to help build some momentum. If, for example, "stay Carnivore" is too difficult, make your goal "no cookies" or just that one food that's been getting you off track. We need to set ourselves up for success by building on positive choices. You can do this!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
**Well my post was about being sleep deprived and I just realized I had scheduled it to go live on the wrong day 🤪🤦🏼♀️. Sorry!!
Happy Friday!! How is your week going? I am so glad it's almost the weekend. With the time change, getting up an extra hour early everyday, plus puppy schedule, has been very exhausting.
My hope for this weekend is just to get a lot of rest, as much as I can with a puppy. 😂 We are having a lot of fun with Angus, and he naps a lot so hopefully I can take a couple naps this weekend.
What are your plans for the weekend?
