First day of school there was so much treats in the teacher lounge I didn't not eat anything!! I also got my 10,000 steps! I was very emotional yesterday morning while working out 😭going to be in the moments and take it all in!!
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 ...
It was 112 yesterday and I'm still out there grilling. Never gets old. I had 2 NY strips which were yellow stickered at Sam's club. Just under 1.5 pounds. Less than I was eating previously. I was cutting some weight last month which resulted in slightly smaller portions and that seems to have continued even after I've stopped that "beast mode" time. Hopefully it helps me maintain better or even lose a few more pounds.
How has your portion size changed on your journey? Do you even pay attention to that? What's your favorite thing to grill?
Happy Wednesday! I'm headed to Denver today for a work trip. This trip starts the next 4 weeks where I'm going to be traveling to four different cities teaching some all-day training sessions in each of the different cities. The plan is to basically train the entire company over the next month. 😬🙃 Wish me luck! 🤪
Thankfully though, these are all cities that I have traveled to often before and I'm good about staying on track with my food when I travel. I even look forward to hitting up some of my favorite restaurants that are in these cities where I know I have great carnivore options. I'll bring some food with me as a backup as well, but I'm not worried since it's all places I'm familiar with my food options.
What are you eating today? Post down below!! Remember that no matter how simple something seems to you, it can give somebody else a really good idea, so it's always fun to share!
Accountability post:
Ribeye, eggs, bacon and butter today.
I donated blood to bring my ferritin level down.
I was able to go with my mom to a podiatry appointment.
I hope to get an interview for a position I recently applied for-the posting closed over the weekend.
My son has surgery on Monday for an osteochondroma. It has been bothering him because of the aggressive growth rate but we are thankful it is benign.
