Happy Tuesday!! How was your weekend? We're you able to stay on track and make the choices you planned? Regardless today is a new day, and we have just under a week left in May so don't fall into the trap of "I'll just wait and restart on June 1st". You can still end the month focusing on your beast mode goals!
In our few days left of our Beast Mode month of May, what is your non-negotiable to help you finish the month strong?
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 Tuesday and the first day of our September Challenge!! I hope you were able to join the Livestream last night, the hour went quick and I think it was a good discussion. I hope to help people set some goals for the month, get themselves motivated and on track, and do it in a way that builds long term goals and a healthy lifestyle.
Today you can document what your non-negotiable is for the month, and tomorrow we can set some other "nice to have" goals as well. And take some pictures today to help document your progress.
What is your non-negotiable for September and this challenge?
Workout was short today but got something in. Food was good! Football game saturday with my parents. Husband and I ate at a restaurant called Rib and Chop for our 25th anniversary. I got a ribeye and got some truffle butter and oh man that hurt my stomach so bad bloating cramps and gas. I tried a collagen with mushroom once and it caused rashes and bloating. So no mushrooms for me I guess.
Happy Monday!! Today is the last day of August, tonight I am doing a Livestream on YouTube to kick off our September Beast Mode Carnivore Challenge! Before we kick off a new month we need to make sure we reflect on the last month so we can set the right goals for September.
August reflection questions:
What went well this month?
Where did you get stuck?
What will you do differently to not make the same mistakes in September?
Hope you can make it to it, it's at 8pm EST
