Happy Tuesday!! We are officially home and settled. You already know we are the people to immediately unpack and start laundry. 😂 We all crashed hard last night and enjoyed some good home showers and sleeping in our own beds.
Today will be a long day with the Healing Humanity event this evening, excited to see some of you! Hopefully we'll get some updates tonight as well about future release timelines we can share with you.
I am catching up on all the posts here since we have been gone, it's so great to see several of you posting daily for accountability. I think it helps so much in staying on track to just share your food/movement etc. It's a nice way to check in and just stay accountable. Do you find it helpful for you?
I don't typically love cooking with cast iron, despite the excellent results they can bring. It's messy and smells up the house. Add to that, the one we have is super old and not very good. We were recently gifted a really good one from Lancaster Cast Iron so today I decided to give it a try. We have a side burner on our Weber so I could do it outside. I sous vide a steak, then seared it in tallow on the new pan. Man it was incredible. What a difference it made from our old one. Super easy clean up too. Below is the pan, of course I forgot to take a picture of the steak haha.
Do you love using cast iron? What are some favorites you make in them?
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 Monday!! We are headed off on vacation this morning, we are going to Cancun for a relaxing week at the beach. 🏖️🌊🌴 I plan to disconnect and just focus on family time as much as possible. I might pop in and share a few pictures but I will wait to resume my morning posts Saturday when we get back. I hope you keep posting your daily accountability, and share meals you are eating. It is helpful for your own consistency to post daily, but also it is very motivating for others. There are also lots of people in this group that are here to encourage you so please still post questions or share if you're needing help. I will talk to you all when we get back! 🥰
