Here we go!!!! Day 1! 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.
My non-negotiable is always "just stay carnivore". For me that is what I need to stay on track. I try and stick to one meal a day, not include snacks, and do a 48 hour fast about once a week...but above all else, even when times are tough I just focus on staying carnivore for one day at a time.
As a community let's focus on an additional goal as well. Last round we included movement as that group goal. This round I want to focus on calling out daily wins. I think that can be a huge motivating factor to call out something specific that went really well for you that day. Write it down in a journal or post in the group.
Share your goals for the next 30 days 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.
If you are new then make a post on the main thread introducing yourself!
I am going LIVE tonight on Locals for Supporters at 5pm pst 8pm est. See you then!!
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 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. 🎹🤍🖤
*Livestream Monday night at 4pm pst/7pm est
Happy Friday!! I finally got back to walking yesterday. Our entire week in WV I didn't get many steps in, we took some walks in the woods but not a lot of miles. Since I came back I've been so busy and tired, at least that's my excuse, but really it's just hard to get back into the routine after not doing it for over a week. That's the hard part for me about exercise, the more I do it the easier it is to keep doing it. But as soon as I have a few days in a row where I don't make time to exercise, I just lose all motivation for it. However yesterday I got back to it!! 💪🏼💪🏼 I walked about 6+ miles during the day while working and hit 15k steps. Today is going to be very busy but I plan to get started early in the day.
How are you planning to get some movement in today?
Happy Thursday! I am all thrown off this week on what day it is. 😂 It's been good to be home but busy getting back into our routine. Chris and the kids started getting things organized yesterday to kick off their school year. They always start by setting some goals for the year and mapping out a plan on how to accomplish them.
Normally I like to focus on short term goals and daily non-negotiables, but I thought it might be fun to set a longer term goal for the rest of this year.
What is one thing you want to accomplish still in 2025?
Started my 7 days off yesterday. Today we are in Lafayette, California. I feel every time I am off, I have to travel somewhere else. 2 weeks ago was Texas. Today is California. Not long ago it was Missouri. This is not over yet. In 2 weeks is back to Texas and from there to Colorado and Back to New Mexico and Arizona to work.
I gave myself a headache typing that.
The thing is, it's really hard to keep it Carnivore when you're on the move. So I followed @Lauraespath's advice and packed some beef jerky and beef sticks to keep me loyal. For meals out I have been eating burgers with no bun. Just mustard and cheese. Delicious no matter where. Specially when you're hungry. Now, I need to say this. What is the meat in California made with? $30 a pound!!!??? And I thought NM was expensive.
I left pics of Lafayette's reservoir and the kids.
Oh well. I hope everyone is having a good week.
