Happy Sunday! We are changing our Sunday schedule around for the next year. Long story short but we are normally early service people at church, and then we come home and get a break and then have a big lunch as a family. But due to the schedule of classes offered at church for our kids ages, we need to switch to the last service of the day on Sundays. So that means we don't get home from church until after 1 pm.
The bonus is I get to work out in the mornings and we all get to sleep in a little bit. But the downside is trying to plan a big meal starting at 1:00 where we end up eating around 2:00, it makes it feel like your whole day is gone. So we'll do a brunch before church probably and then just a quick/easy mid afternoon meal.
Our family lives a pretty structured routine day to day so this type of schedule change is usually an adjustment for us all (even Angus with his nap schedule).
Situations like this just remind you that while having an ideal meal time and intermittent fasting schedule is helpful, what's most important is just being able to adapt when your schedule changes or life happens. Do you have a hard time adapting when your schedule changes or are you pretty 'go with the flow'?
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
Livestream tomorrow (Monday) evening at 7pm EST
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! Yesterday I flew to Calgary for work, I had a long layover in Dallas because of a delay so I walked laps around the terminal to get some steps in. I am here for 2 days to teach a couple sessions and then fly home Thursday night.
How was your first day of the beast mode challenge? It's going to be a great month! Just keep showing up and moving forward no matter what!! What are you eating today?
