Today is Day 1! It's also just one day...every day is only one day. I love that we are starting this challenge on a Friday! It means serious business to not wait till another Monday or another first of the Month! Today we are making some new commitments and setting some new goals.
Your goals and challenges are going to look different than my goals and challenges. In this community, we each pick our own 1 Non-Negotiable thing to focus on for 30 days. Something small that can make a big impact on your goals when you do it (or remove it) consistently for a month. It might be a food that you keep slipping with, or it might be a behavior you want to add. A fasting window you want to hit, or ensuring you eat adequate protein. That 1 Non-Negotiable thing will be different for all of us. If you are having trouble setting one for yourself let me know.
I think setting other goals is also a good idea, but if life gets thrown at you and you need to make some adjustments just focus on sticking to that one non-negotiable thing for one day at a time.
As a community let's focus on adding a little daily movement as well...for some of you that's already a daily thing, so maybe see how you can add an extra element (walk with some small weights, add some squats etc). For some people (like me) it's about adding movement to begin with. My personal goal is 15 mins of squats and/or bodyweight exercises (push-ups, chair dips, lunges, etc).
Share your goals with the group. Make sure you take some pictures for yourself today and spend some time writing down your goals and your current situation. It can be so helpful to have something to look back on.
I love this group so much and the encouragement you give each other. I am so proud of each of you and want to remind you that you can do ANYTHING for one day. I want to live a long healthy life but I can only do that by focusing on one day at a time.
Happy Saturday! I hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.
Here is a little video of Penelopes performance from her piano recital l last night, she's been taking lessons for about a year and a half. 🎹🤍🖤

Thinking about the year ahead can be overwhelming when it comes to goal setting. For some people, like me, short term goals can be much more motivating. Right now it's beast mode through the Meetup this Saturday. That said, I do still have long term goals for the year. Staying carnivore is just a given now as it's my life already so I have to dive a little deeper for me. I'd like to stay in the same weight range but lower my body fat a bit. Gain some muscle mass in short. Gym at least 4 times a week and beast mode at the same time is my recipe.
Steak video for interest. 🤪
Do you do better with short or long term goals?
So sorry guys, my 2 1/2 hour drive home from the cabin is turning into a 5+ hour drive home so I am not going to make it in time to Livestream tonight. I'll post the link for the Dr Berry Livestream for tomorrow when I know it. I'll catch up on posts here when I get home if you have any questions.
Happy Tuesday!! So fun to hang out on the 2 different streams yesterday!!
One of the things that we talked about last night here in Locals was the dopamine and excitement that is created when you are looking forward to something (vacation, event, etc). It's one of the things that always keeps me motivated, having some specific event to work towards. That's why I did so well for the first few months of the year, I had several different conferences and events to keep me dialed in.
I realized in talking last night that's maybe why I've been struggling the last couple months. Yes travel makes things hard but when I am super focused that isn't an issue at all. Once all those big events I had been so hyper focused on ended I took a deep breath and "relaxed". And usually I come up with another event to motivate me but this time I didn't have anything specific to retain my focus.
I have been really proud of myself the last 2 days, but this was my reminder that I'm order to help keep ...

I only had one meal today. I went to a lunch/birthday at Santana's Mexican restaurant. I had the Santana fajitas
Beef,chicken,shrimp, and chorizo with sour cream and guacamole. I didn't eat the shells, beans, or rice. I took off most of the peppers and onions. I ate one of the grilled pineapple rings. I had a little salsa but no chips (that was tough), lol I don't know what the calories or macros are. I had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone 😊
Hi everyone, it is good to be here today. I was able to walk downtown for some exercise this morning. I feel I could take a nap. I think my body is still adjusting to the new life. I am doing so much better than I could have imagined. I am amazed at how filling meat is!! This month I am going to really keep track of how long a grocery haul lasts me. I still have not finished the meat from last month. It is still in the freezer. Although I do need to get more bacon, eggs, beef tallow and butter. Those seem to go pretty quickly. Outside of that, I am going to take a restful day. Thank you all for being there. Look for to talking with you tomorrow.
