Happy Monday!! Day 4 of our Beast Mode Challenge! My friend and I ended up going to a Brazilian steakhouse last night. It was the perfect place to load up on meat before a busy week.
I hope you are feeling strong and confident headed into the week ahead. I love hearing about everybody's beast mode goals. However, don't forget to pick one very simple non-negotiable thing to focus on. That way when your day doesn't go as perfectly as you planned, or when you "fail" on some of your beast mode goals... You can still focus on your non-negotiable to give yourself that daily win.
Remember we don't have to do everything right all the time but the most important thing is to keep moving forward. Don't let things not going perfectly have you give up on all of your goals for the whole month!!
What are you eating today??
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 Saturday! I am very excited for the weekend and for a slow Saturday today. Penelope and I did a little shopping yesterday after work (didn't buy much), but just had fun trying things on and singing show tunes in the car. Catching up with some things at home today, and hopefully filming some YouTube content this weekend as well. And of course eating lots of good steak.
What are your plans for the weekend? Any temptations you are looking to avoid?
Happy Friday! I hope you are having a great week. My Mom left early this morning to fly back to Indiana. We had a great visit and we will miss her (she'll be back for 2 weeks at Christmas).
In addition to my Mom visiting, it's been so nice to just not be traveling for a week, and know I don't have to travel next week either! 😂😂 Nothing like sleeping in your own bed, and eating meals at home!! The more I travel, the more I just love being at home! ❤️❤️
Are you a homebody, or do you prefer to be on the go??
Good Evening Y'all!! I had a good day today. I'm in Branson for a girls weekend with some ladies from my church. We're going to see DAVID tomorrow at Sight and Sound. We're celebrating a couple of the ladies I'm with birthdays. So I cooked steaks tonight and I made a dessert I'm known for. I cooked filet mignons and me a ribeye also.
So here's my stats today. No pictures of food cause we were having to much fun.
