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?
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 hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.
Here is a little video of Penelopes performance from her piano recital l last night, she's been taking lessons for about a year and a half. 🎹🤍🖤

Happy Monday!! Well in true Spath fashion we are always busy busy busy!! I am back to work today, and Chris actually leaves on his annual snowboarding trip with his friends this afternoon. My Mom also arrives this evening to spend the week with us to help out while Chris is gone and I am working. Mainly we planned her to come this week in case I had to travel but of course we love when she visits and it's even better that I am home. I will do a Livestream in Locals this week I just am not sure what night yet, I have to go pick my Mom up from the airport this evening.
What is your Non-Negotiable for March? In addition to staying carnivore I am also commiting to daily weight lifting/body weight exercises. Just focusing on 10 minutes a day this month to try and build the habit.
I am so proud of myself. I just walked a mile during my lunch. I was out of breath from the 36 stairs I had to go up at the end, but I did it! Here’s a few pictures for proof( or really because if Veebs quits posting her pics we will need something to look at). So everybody be sure and post your pics with whatever movement you are doing with your accountability posts!😉
Those are 2 different parts of Big Spring Park in downtown Huntsville, AL. If you’re curious.
Happy Saturday!! We are officially back, well almost 😂😂 our flight is probably landing shortly. We took the overnight flight last night from Maui to Phoenix. I swore I would never do that overnight flight again with kids but it's just too nice to get an entire extra day of vacation before you fly home. Plus Nathaniel has his last baseball game today we wanted to make it back for (praying we all slept on the flight). Sharing some pictures of our trip below, we had an amazing time! ☀️🏖️🌊🐳🐢
How have you been?? I will be catching up here on everything later today once we get through baseball and get a little rest. I hope you have had an amazing week! Can you believe this is the last day of February!? What has been the best thing to happen to you this month?
