Happy Sunday! If you didn't know TikTok was banned last night, I have never had a TikTok account so it doesn't affect me at all, but I do know it's impacting a lot of people. Were you on TikTok at all? Apparently there are rumors Trump will allow them to extend operations for 90 days until they workout a long term plan once he takes office on Monday. We don't make things political in this group but it will be very interesting to see how things change overall with the new administration. We already see things shifting with the banning of Red 3, and hopefully we can get the rest of the food dyes out of our foods soon! And I think the Make America Healthy Again movement is going to really start building some positive momentum.
Today we are making my favorite meal, the skirt steak, chicken thighs, and shrimp on the griddle. Thankfully I am still off work tomorrow for the holiday, I am excited to catch up with everyone on a Monday night Livestream at 4pm pst/7pm est (since it's a holiday we'll start a little earlier). Have a great day!!
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 Sunday! I hope you are having a good weekend. This weekend our family is having some much needed rest. I didn't walk yesterday but will probably go for a walk today. I want to go to the red light bed/sauna etc. And of course Sunday is for church and worship.
If you have a day of rest, what does that look like for you?

Happy Saturday! Chris and I had a date night last night, to see a comedian of course. This morning I have a massage, I am hoping it helps with my headaches and vertigo, my shoulders and neck have been so tense lately. After that we just plan to hang out as a family and church on Sunday. I travel again for work next week and not feeling 100% so trying to take it easy this weekend.
What are your plans for the weekend? Running around or taking it easy?
Livestream Monday evening here in Locals.
Family!!! I've missed you and posting.
The new job is good, very good. I'm still super new to what I'm doing but I'm figuring out the clocking in and logging in. I spent several hours Friday, familiarizing myself with the client lists and different procedures.
And I got to leave early as I was done with my client and no one wanted to start me on a new one on a Friday afternoon. Win for me!
Date night and Christmas shopping and Sam's trip. Dinner at TRH. Farmer purchased a bunch of gift cards for his mechanic and the neighbor that helps with the cattle drive.
Today was super-de-duper busy (story of my life!)
It was my middle sister's birthday. She recently moved back to Neb from SD. I took her and my mom and brother out for breakfast. It was not the best but edible.
Then I stopped at the kids' to drop off their Sam's items. Ddil and I planned our Christmas celebration, which will be on the 20th! I have so much to do!!! 😱 🙈
Then I washed my filthy car!
Home to admire Farmer's decorations on my ...
