Happy Tuesday!! I ended up not eating at all yesterday and decided to just fast for 48 hours. Doing an impromptu fast because I am so busy is when it's the easiest. I skipped breakfast because I thought we were going to have an early lunch, and then my lunch window got booked with meetings. By the time my work day ended I just decided to push through and go to the sauna etc and wait and eat today. I even ended up walking 7.5 miles on my walking pad throughout the day. I made sure to load up on some extra electrolytes with the exercise and the fasting.
I am actually going to a hotel near our house for today/tomorrow, I need reliable Internet for work and we are still experiencing outages today. Chris is going to get a new company installed tomorrow but not until then one of my work day, hopefully that fixes the issue. I'll have to go to the hotel gym and do my walking there since I won't have my walking pad. Chris offered to being it to the hotel for me so I could walk while I work but I am not quite that crazy. 🤪 🤔 We did talk though about how funny it is how obsessed I get with things. I am just an ALL IN or ALL OUT person.
What does your fasting schedule look like this week?
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.
