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. 🎹🤍🖤

The week between Christmas and New Year's is always the most confusing week of the year, I keep forgetting what day it is. 😂 We spent the majority of the day outside yesterday enjoying the beautiful weather.
How are you feeling this week? Struggling to stay on track? Waiting for January 1st to reset? Have you started thinking about your January goals yet?
Here are some pictures of our lunch from yesterday.
My hubby got me this shirt for Christmas! We have my nieces birthday party today so this will be worn....lol!
Happy Sunday everyone. It's a blowing, snowing, COLD day on the farm. We didn't try to get to church, but I did watch some of it on-line.
Last night (yesterday it was beautiful here) we went out with besties. We traded home-grown ground beef for a TRH steak dinner. We also were there to give them some support as they are dealing with his dad being diagnosed as an alcoholic at 82 yo and his mom having dementia. They will have some tough decisions & discussions over the next few weeks.
Also, our neighbor & friend who's been battling cancer (but we thought had beaten it) went to glory yesterday early afternoon. We thought she had a few more weeks yet and I'm sad I didn't get to say "See you again in a little while." But so happy for her to be where there is no more pain and sorrow.
So with all of this, I'm taking a self-care day of rest, devotions and healthy eating.
I'm looking forward to BBES (little bacon) starting Jan. 2.
Hope to "see" you all at the Live on Tuesday. I'll be ...
