We'll my post today was going to be about I was on a streak this week with working out. I made the "mistake" of commiting to Penelope I would work out with her daily and she will NOT let me off the hook. So everyday this week so far she and I have done a workout in the backyard (Nathaniel half does it with us). She has a workout plan for us and everything.
Unfortunately last night at the end of the workout she was racing Nathaniel with bear crawls and crab walks and landed on her hand wrong and broke her finger. She was in a lot of pain at first (and we spent several hours at urgent care waiting for X-rays etc) but by the end of the night she was just feeling sad that she's out of commission for the next 4-6 weeks. Her day to day activities are all about being active (Jiu Jitsu, biking, rollerblading, playing lots of sports at the park with friends) as well as playing the piano daily. She's pretty bummed that she's going to have to put all that on hold for a while. Butt we'll follow up with an Orthopedist and hopefully get more clear answers on what she can and can't do.
I am guessing however she's not gonna let me off the hook with workouts! 😜 So you better join me today and get a workout in!!
Reminder I will Livestream in Locals for supporters Friday at 8pm EST
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 Monday!! How was your weekend? Were you able to stay on track or are you needing a reset for this week? We stop have plenty of time left in the month to make some good progress.
Thankfully I am not traveling then next couple weeks so it's been nice to be in the groove with exercise. Hopefully you can come hang out on the Livestream tonight, I'll give you more details on that Carnivore coach who was stealing my pictures for his coaching promotion. 🙄(I shared that on IG yesterday when I found out about it). We can talk about anything else on your mind as well.
What is your non-negotiable for this week?
I decided to go back to Carnivore. Carnivores will not have to worry about Cyclspora. I was eating very few veggies anyway so might as well give them up.
