Happy Saturday!!
We don't have many plans this weekend. June has been all about slowing down after a very hectic first 4 months of the year. There is a new fancy meat store about 30 mins from us that we might drive over and check out. And of course it's AZ so we have to bring a cooler and ice packs just to go shopping for meat that's not 5 mins from our house. 😂😂 Im going to try and get ahead on YouTube content because July I will be back to traveling again.
What are your plans this weekend? How are you planning ahead to make sure you stay on track this weekend?
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 Thursday!! We have 2 days left in the month, and of course tomorrow is Halloween. This might be a couple hard days with lots of temptations, just remember to take every moment one at a time. Focus on your WHY and just keep reminding yourself you can do ANYTHING for just one day!!
We are wrapping up October and Saturday starts November already. What has been the best thing to happen for you in October?

Notes: feeling great, slept good, pain free, high energy, stable mood, happy & content! Walked 3 times today 30 mins each at least, getting a bit faster & feeling less unstable I think, still have to use rollater because I can’t feel my feet but feeling like it could happen someday that I won’t need it! Doing better now that I’m not tracking macros, eating more I think!
