Happy Sunday!!! We are so excited to be back and getting back in our routine. I had the house deep cleaned while we were gone and our hotel had a washer/dryer, so we came home to a clean house, put away our clean laundry from our suitcases, and just had a relaxing day. Very excited to go to church today and have some skirt steak, chicken, shrimp for lunch (my favorite meal). Coming home from vacation on the weekend so I don't have to jump immediately back into work was so smart! 😂👏🏼
I can't believe it's March already. We'll share non-negotiables for March tomorrow but today lets reflect one more time on Feb. What was your biggest setback in Feb? What could you have done differently to not end up getting off track in the same way?
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 ...
I truly enjoyed my first week being on summer break. Now that my kids are home for the summer as well it's all hands on deck. We are working on movement this summer. My oldest is away at a youth leadership camp with the scouts and the other two are doing daily walks with me.
I was able to package the two ribeye loins I got last night. $360 total for two loins ÷ 42 steaks = $8.57 a steak. Keep a eye out for those deals!!
Happy TuesDay.
They are still working on my computer.
I had a stress this morning over some crabby people and I almost broke my current 48 hr fast over it. Then, decided I would not let that derail me and went for a walk instead.
At the thrift store I found a like new Tupperware shaker for .50. Brand new they are $16!!!
So my walk was even better than just keeping me from eating. 😁
Just sharing to keep myself busy until I can get work.
