Happy Sunday!! I hope you are having a restful weekend. I walked 5 miles in the morning yesterday and we had lunch as a family, but I spent most of the afternoon in bed with a tension headache. Today I am volunteering at church and then we are having "my favorite meal" for lunch. (Skirt steak, chicken, shrimp). I might walk, might depend on how my head is feeling.
Anyone decorating for Christmas already? I know the time changed last night, thankfully it's the time of year when you get an extra hour of sleep. I am actually super excited about the time change, even though Arizona doesn't change time, because I will start work daily at 7am instead of 6am. So I basically get an extra hour of sleep every night!
What are your plans this weekend? Livestream here in Locals for Supporters at 7pm 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.
