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. 🎹🤍🖤

Heading up north for some snowboarding with the kids after church today. Long drives are podcast time for me and sometimes even the kids. The other day I listened to a podcast with Ben Bikman, who you already know is a fav of mine, and the kids even got to listen for a while. He was talking a lot about ketones and the impact it has on the body. I've always considered exogenous ketones pointless on our type of diet but he made a pretty good case that there is benefits to doing so.
Have you tried exogenous ketones? Did they have an impact for you? I've linked the episode below if you want to have a listen.
Happy Saturday! Today was supposed to be Nathaniels first baseball game of the season but they pushed back the start due to the rain we've had this week (flooded fields). Even a little rain here causes all kinds of issues since it's so rare. But we will have a fun lunch planned today at Fogo to celebrate Chris's birthday a little early (his birthday is Monday). Chris and the kids are going snowboarding Monday for his birthday so we are celebrating him this weekend. His favorite way to celebrate is All you can eat meat, that he doesn't have to cook 😂
What are your weekend plans?
Good Evening Y'all!! I was successful today. I ate only carnivore. I ended up making Courtney Luna's carnivore mousse. So that I wouldn't feel deprived and I wouldn't have to explain to my Grands why Memaw wasn't eating some of her favorite dessert. We celebrated my Granddaughters 10th birthday early because I won't be able to be at her actual party. I listened to the Word today instead of reading it today. I'm in the book of Titus. It's short and good. We watched our Granddaughter play basketball today. Her team won both games. Here's a new NSV for me. I put on a tshirt out of my closet and it's a medium. I have went down 2 shirt sizes since starting carnivore in August. I haven't been perfect but I'm going in the right direction. Here's pictures of my breakfast and dinner. Here's the picture of me in the medium tshirt.
