Happy Tuesday! Today we have a photographer coming to the house for a mix of family pictures and some headshots I need.
I spent so many years avoiding pictures of any kind and I regret it so much. At some point I had a wake up call. My brother died when I was 11 and there basically no pictures of him or us together in the last few years before he died. That just wasn't something that was as common back then. I just got terrified of something happening to me or someone in my family and not having and pictures to look at.
At my heaviest weight ever we got professional family pictures taken for the first time. I remember telling the photographer to only take pictures from my chest up (which I now regret).
These family pictures were March 11th 2018. They ended up being very good motivation for me actually and we started Keto (which led to Carnivore) the day after these pictures.
In these pictures I couldn't even get my pants zipped so I was using a hair tie to keep them closed.
My point is...no matter where you are in your journey, Be IN The Pictures!! It's not about you...and I always say this but I PROMISE you will not regret having them. You don't have to post them but for me...take a picture today WITH the ones you love. ♥️♥️
****Livestream tonight at 8pm est/5pm pst Hope to see you there!
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 Saturday!! One thing I thought might be fun today is for everyone to share their favorite Budget meal and their favorite Bougie meal on a carnivore diet (or whatever version you eat).
"Bougie [boo-zhee, -jee] (An adjective slang): relating to or characteristic of a person who indulges in some of the luxuries and comforts of a fancy lifestyle."
For example, my favorite Budget friendly meal is just a taco bowl, ground beef with some seasonings, little shredded cheese, and sour cream. I could eat that every day and not get sick of it!!!
For my Bougie meal: A fancy American wagyu steak, usually ribeye, crab legs, and of course bread cheese! That is typically what we eat for Christmas every year. If budget didn't matter I would eat that a lot more often! 😂
What about you? What's your favorite budget meal and bougie meal?
This is a quick share of a NSV. I slipped into a pair of shorts I haven't been able to get past my thighs in several years. The shorts fit beautifully. I'm truly amazed. I haven't weighed in a while but the last time I did I was down about 4 pounds. I attribute the body change to almost 4 months of working out 4 to 5 days a week.
