Happy Monday!! How was your weekend? Thankfully I am off work for a couple more days, I decided semi-last minute to take a couple days off to just hang with the family. Today we are visiting a couple different landmarks in Northern Arizona and doing some hiking today.
I am doing a YouTube Livestream tomorrow night when we get back home. I will be talking about the upcoming 'Carnivore Made Simple' course by Dr. Eric Westman and Amy Berger, I am assisting as an Admin for the Facebook they have for anyone that buys the course. It's basically an online course with a series of videos and resources for anyone looking to get started on a Carnivore Diet. (I talked about it in more detail in the last Livestream I did here in Locals.) The course opens today, they are sending me a link later to share but I think code LAURA gets a discount on it. I'll also be doing some Q&A as well on the YouTube Livestream so it should be a good one for beginners in general. I will stream here in Locals later this week to kick off August.
What is your non-negotiable for this week?
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! We are officially halfway through the month and our last full week before Christmas. How are you feeling? I am behind on YouTube content for the month and going to film some videos today and tomorrow, let me know if you have any topics you would like me to address.
Most important thing in the upcoming weeks is to take things one day at a time. One bad day doesn't have to send you on a spiral for the month. Keep things simple , focus on protein first, and move your body when you can. What is your non-negotiable for the week?
I read everyone's post every day and so enjoy keeping with you, but I rarely post so here's an update. After a few months of eating homemade L routeri yogurt and sampling things like almond butter and broccoli I hit critical mass and tail skinned into a crisis of serious joint pain and eczema, something I haven't had since I started carnivore almost 6 years ago. Plus headaches,sneezing and congestion. I had to go back on an antihistamine and stop sampling. I'm much better but not completely symptom free yet. Only one thing seems to work for me and that's strict carnivore. Oh, well, as I've said many times, when I get to heaven I can eat anything I want, anytime I want and as much as I want. Meanwhile, I will stick with carnivore so I can enjoy a healthy active life. Tomorrow my twin sister and I will be 83 so it won't be that long before we're in heaven. Right now we're enjoying our lives and each other. God is so good!!!
We had a eventful weekend. Yesterday we had Christmas with my husband's family. We took Laura's meatballs but we ate steaks before we left. It's funny how I still know where all the sweets are but say those are poison...inside my head. My oldest started playing piano at church as a sub for our current pianist. He was very nervous but nailed those Christmas hymns!! Finished with a freezing walk during scouts. It is supposed to get down to 3° tonight.
