Beast mode update!
Still doing awesome, down 8.8lbs! I added some keto veggies in and my body seems to be responding just fine! Yay!
Ketones still in the 1.7-3.5! range this last week and glucose in the 70’s-80’s. I’m feeling super energized and motivated, I’ve worked out every day this month and I’m still getting my 10k-15k steps. I hope every one is feeling great let’s keep going strong team!
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!

Day 16 Update 🥩
Week 2 in the books and the scale is -7.2.
Yesterday's eats:
🍳 Breakfast: Bacon, eggs, coffee with butter and cream
🍔 Lunch: Hamburg and chicken tenders (pork rind panko)
🧀 Dinner: Cheese and pepperoni
Also on Day 3 of adding a 16:8 intermittent fasting window — hoping it helps push my ketones up since my Keto Mojo has me barely registering so far.
Fingers crossed I can drive myself in a sling to get labs done tomorrow.
