30-Day Carnivore Challenge:
CHALLENGE:
Set One Non-Negotiable Rule For Yourself. Something you don't cave on NO MATTER WHAT!!
This is going to be different for everyone based on your current situation (or cutting out something you are struggling with). For me, that one main non-negotiable thing is always STAY CARNIVORE NO MATTER WHAT. There were some great suggestions yesterday in the comments about other ideas (cutting out fruit, alcohol, keto treats). For some of you, it might be to INCLUDE something each day and not restrict something (Ex: movement, . If you need help deciding yours let me know in the comments and I will help. Think about the one change you can make that will have the BIGGEST impact. If you are having occasional cheats then your non-negotiable should be NO CHEATS. It might even be as simple as "No chips and Salsa". Whatever is holding you back we want to make the main focus this month.
SECONDARY GROUP GOAL: (I will pick one group goal for us to all work on every 30 days in addition to your non-negotiable). For this month we are going to focus on a FASTING WINDOW: 1-3 meals a day depending on your needs and NO SNACKING. Weekly 24 or 48-hour fast (we can do these as a group)
Feel free to add more goals for yourself as you like, just remember if stress happens, life gets crazy, and you are feeling overwhelmed...stay strong on that ONE NON-NEGOTIABLE THING.
Measurements of Success:
-Take starting picture (we will take one at the end) Only post if you feel comfortable
-It's not an all-or-nothing challenge, the goal of this is to focus on consistency and long-term habits. No one is kicked out for not being perfect, we want to support each other in focusing on getting healthy. Track the number of days you were successful in sticking to your main non-negotiable rule. We will celebrate that number at the end.
Not sure if any of this made sense, I am not a writer. haha Join me Wednesday night at 5pm pst/8pm est and I'll go LIVE and we can talk it out then (and you can ask questions). Comment below if you need help setting your goals.
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 Monday! We made it to Big Sky, Montana yesterday, WOW it's so beautiful!! It just feels like you are in a movie all the time. We grilled steaks and just spent lots of time outside enjoying the beautiful weather.
The house we are staying in is owned by LMNT, so it has all kinds of electrolytes and wellness goodies everywhere. Plus all kinds of natural soaps and laundry soaps etc. They host a lot of meetings here so one of the walls upstairs is a huge dry erase board so the kids are having fun drawing on it.
We sat in the sauna 🥵 and took turns doing the cold plunge. 🥶 Today we are going hiking and white water rafting.
How was your weekend? What is your non-negotiable for this week?
Happy Sunday! We made it to Idaho Falls last night, it was just a stop over place for us and we had no idea that it would be so beautiful. We got here early in the evening after the hot springs and had a really lovely walk along the river. The weather has been so nice!! We are only 3 hours from Big Sky so headed over there this morning, we are staying in a house there for 5 days. I am excited to stay in one place for a few days. 😂 We are super excited because the house we are staying in has a cold plunge, a sauna, and a gym.
What are your plans today? You doing any prep for the week ahead?
Yesterday we had a PACKED day and some really amazing experiences!! We started the morning in Page Arizona looking at the Glen Canyon Dam, which opens up to the beginning of the Grand Canyon. It looks like you're on a totally different planet!
We then headed up to Redmond, and stopped along the way to take a hike up to some Salt Caves. The drive alone was just amazing as well!
In the afternoon we took a tour of the Redmond Salt mine, WOW what a cool experience!! We went down 700 feet and were completely surrounded by salt! They have 29 miles of tunnels through the mine! I will tell you all about it on a future Livestream! But we all licked the walls and the kids got to mine for their own salt rocks!
We ended the day just south of Salt Lake City. It was a super packed day but thankfully everything went very smoothly.
Today is going to be much more relaxing, and the kids planned the perfect "Mom" day. A slow morning followed by a soak in some Lava Hot Springs this afternoon. ...
