Happy Thursday!!! @Lauren24 made a post yesterday asking about Superbowl food ideas. In case you didn't know the Superbowl is this Sunday. 😂 I'll be in Spain so if course not watching the game, will you be watching?
Either way that type of "game day food" is actually super easy on a Carnivore Diet.
Meat & Cheese Tray
Deviled Eggs
Chicken Wings
Bratwurst/Hot dogs (mini hot dogs to be cute)
Meatballs
Buffalo Chicken dip
Etc
What else would you add to this list? Any favorite recipes to share??
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 Mother's Day to all the Mom's in the group. I hope you are feeling so much love today. I posted a picture of the 4 generations of women on my Mom's side. ❤️💐 Would love to see some of your favorite Mother's Day pictures today.
Also Happy Birthday to my Mom Melissa (she's in this group too). Wish we could spend the day with you!
I know today is a hard day for many, sending you all love and prayers today. ❤️🩹
Happy Saturday!! We have a fun day planned today. Hanging out with the kids during the day and then Chris and I have a date night tonight to see my favorite comedian. We have a friend who is the comedians friend so he's supposedly taking us backstage. 😂🤞🏼. Sunday is church and Mother's Day but we don't have any big plans, I am sure Chris and the kids will make me feel very special though. ❤️❤️
What are your plans for the weekend! What temptations do you expect and how can you prepare in advance to not get off track?
I have a non-scale victory.
I put on shorts today for the first time this year (other than Spring Break but wasn’t paying attention) and my thighs have tightened up. I guess my 3 months of barbell dead lifts and squats and lunges have paid off.
AND although my thighs are super close touchy friends 🤣, my shorts didn’t ride up on my walk today.
I need to be as consistent with my eating as I am at the gym.
