For those of you that were asking, the Equip Black Friday Sale is live.
FYI: They have two different versions of their protein powders now, one that's flavored with stevia and one that has the monk fruit/ coconut sugar. Some people have reactions to stevia while other people like it because it keeps it lower carb. Just double check which one you're getting.
My mom puts a scoop of the vanilla protein (with stevia) and the unflavored collegan in her chai tea every morning (makes a protein chai latte), and we use the protein powder to make pancakes for my kids.

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 Saturday!! I am so excited to have a nice long weekend at home hanging out with the family. We mostly have no plans but I do need to film some YouTube videos. I am even more excited to eat at home for a few days, I am pretty used to eating out while I travel but nothing like a grilled steak from home!! Fun update here, Nathaniel got his braces off this week. He'll get them on again for another year in the future but he is finished with Phase 1.
What are your plans this weekend?
Happy Saturday! We will be at the Universal Parks in Orlando today and tomorrow to celebrate my son’s 14th year.
I brought purse bacon which my son and husband find mortifying. I regret that not being my choice because the airport food left much to be desired! 😬The hamburger meat was definitely marinated in something even though I asked for it to be plain.
I had my 3rd somatic massage on Wednesday. It was two hours of work that was filled with knots releasing and popping up in other places. During this, my nose began to run and it has not stopped. She said it was a sign of release. I did a search and found that it is normal for that type of massage to cause “flu” like symptoms. I hope being away from the ragweed in Kentucky and in the concrete jungle of a Florida amusement park will help clear it up.
I am excited to celebrate my son this weekend. We will get a wheelchair for him since he is still recovering from surgery. He is cleared to do anything but swim at this point. The ...
Since our Costco now carries picanha, I've been eating it daily. Sometimes I'll mix it up and do something different with it. I cut into chunks, marinate it with minced garlic, salt and some form of heat, then grill it. Reminds me of the garlic steak at Fogo. Yesterday when I was adding the habanero powder, I dumped way too much in the bag. It wasn't going to waste so I ate it and my mouth was on fire. Guess I need to be more careful. Still loved it.
Do you like spicy? What's your go to? What's are some mix it up ways you make steak?
