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?
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 Friday!! I am planning on filming a bit of a "day in the life" video today, just outlining my current schedule and what I have been eating lately. Just showing a typical work day with my job, and exercise, and food, (+Angus) etc.
What does a typical week day look like for you? What time do you get up, exercise, eat, etc? I love seeing other people's schedules/routines. 😂🥰
I mean it, I'm still around, but beefers get fed before humans (so we can eat them later) and now it's bedtime. But to stay interesting, I give you the Littles and their LMNT stand and my dinner tonight (leftover ribeye bites, with dippy eggs and a tiny bit of home-grown asparagus.)
Sleep Sweet!
I'm taking my mom out this weekend for Mothers Day, and she always wants to go to Olive Garden. A while ago I learned there were a few things I could eat there.
I usually get their 6oz sirloin (without the "butter" and herb crap they put on it). You can substitute out the pasta, so I usually will get the asparagus (I only eat a few stalks); I'll ask for a side of grilled shrimp, as well as a side of Italian sausage. Boom. Decent dinner at a pasta place.
Happy Mothers Day this weekend to all who celebrate.
