Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! We had a very relaxing day. I went for a walk in the morning, Chris's aunt lives in a nursing home near our cabin and she joined us for the day. We had a wonderful lunch, played games, and watched some football. When Chris drove her back home the kids and I went for a walk. I saw a big elk during my morning walk and the kids and I saw him again in the afternoon. I did actually get dressed and wear make up at some point but I didn't get any pictures of that. 😂 We finished the day with a campfire in the backyard, it was a very special day.
How was your day? No matter what you ate, or didn't est yesterday today is a new day. Are you all doing any shopping today for "Black Friday"?
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.
