I completely forgot about the live tonight. My husband and I are prepping for the winter weather we're supposed to get in Arkansas this weekend. We have never been bread and milk people(which is a running joke in Arkansas). People run to the grocery stores and wipe out the bread aisle and the milk. It's crazy. We call them milk sammies. So pray for Arkansas they're saying we will get a minimum of 6 inches where we live. I'm more concerned about our Mom's losing power. Especially my Mom because she's on oxygen full time.
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. 🎹🤍🖤

Sorry I missed the Live. We had a financial appt & chiro appt after work and then had to get hay and bedding for the cattle before this weekend's blast. By the time I got in it was too late.
Today was all day in front of the computer, being cold, despite the heater right on me.
Tomorrow we'll be taking calves to the sale barn after work. Not sure what dinner will be but hopefully I won't have to cook. 😁

Tuesday accountability:
Walked a mile today. HUGE victory. I have been stubbornly resistant to doing that, so yay!
Attaching macros. Logging for now while I get going again.way too much cheese for a normal day but once in a while is OK. Also drank 3/4 gallon of pure water. Also a victory. Had Pepsi Zero as a treat. And (drumroll) I watched the Livestream as it happened!!! I usually watch on replay but I finally made it in real time. Yay me, haha!
So... im super tired. Probably carb withdrawal. Gonna try for early bedtime tonight.
Have a restful night. 😊
Today was a bit of a rough day for me. 86 days in. Been having some on and off reactions with itchy skin/rashes for me but also my 10 year old daughter. It’s been so hard to pin down what’s causing it.
I was doing ok for a while after I started, I had some eczema patches that cleared up but have now started to get itchy again. But today was by far my worst reaction. We get these goose bump like bumps on our arms and legs that are extremely itchy.
I know it could be oxalate dumping or histamine intolerance. I’m trying to take as much precaution as I can with histamine. It’s just odd because my daughter and I react very similarly and we both were in a reaction this morning. I’m thinking that it could be pork or dairy but my instinct is saying pork now, which we had last night. I’ve already cut out other things thinking they are possibly causing issues- like eggs and chicken.
We’ve been dealing with food reactions for awhile- it’s hard enough trying to figure it out for ...
