Happy Sunday! I ended up doing a big closet purge yesterday, mostly it was just clothes I don't wear anymore. I got rid of my big clothes a long time ago but I also had a decent amount of clothes that I was saving from a few years ago when I was my smallest. I kept telling myself to hang onto them "just in case", but it's taken me a long time to accept that's not my goal anymore and I could let go of those clothes.
My Mom has been doing a lot of cleaning out of her closet too, she's getting rid of anything that doesn't fit her now or more than one size in either direction. At one point I had clothes in my closet all the way from a size 20 to a size 4 and everywhere in between. Why do we hold on to clothes that don't fit us anymore?
Have you done a clean of your closet yet? Keeping clothes that are too big or too small "just in case"?
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. 🎹🤍🖤

Just me and the kids all week here. They've been working hard on school projects and we've all been craving our favorite restaurant for a while now so we took a drive to Fogo De Chao for lunch (had a coupon, join their email list). We all got stuffed on all the meats.
If you've had Brazilian, what's your favorite meat? If not, what's your go to restaurant?
After many years of abuse on my body, one of my biggest concerns is that I've done irreversible damage. I'm confident that what I'm doing now has reversed what I can and will do no harm. Studies like the one below help me be more confident in that. I've seen anecdotal stories of atherosclerosis reversal but no studies have really demonstrated that yet. The study below is a good one for any detractors. Wonder what layne Norton will say 🤪

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you are doing well, I know it's been a very heavy week for a lot of people in this group. Not only from some of the recent events but also just I know several people in this group are dealing with some pretty heavy things personally.
I'm going to be doing a couple of long walks today and I would love to pray for you while I'm walking. Share below any prayer requests you have and I will send some love and prayers your way on my walks. ❤️❤️🙏🏼 I hope you have a wonderful day.
