Happy Father's Day. I am so blessed to have an amazing husband and father for my kids. You all know how lucky I am and I try hard not to take for granted how special of a man Chris is and how much he does for our family. We don't do much to celebrate holidays around here but we plan to grill up some delicious steaks and try and make Chris feel as loved as he makes us feel every other day!!
Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's in the group. I would love to see pictures today if you feel open to sharing. ❤️❤️
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.
Yesterday was officially the first day of summer. We broke records here and Arizona hit 117°F this week. Thankfully things are cooling back down but this rollercoaster from 105-115°F is pretty typical for our summer. We still do lots of grilling outside though, and Chris still goes for his evening walks outside, and I still go to the sauna. 😂😂 My first summer here it was so odd to brush your teeth with warm water (the tap water just doesn't get cold in the summer). I guess you just get used to it. Thankfully we have a pool but by this time of year the water is well over 90°F so it's more like a big bath.
How are things where you live? How are you staying cool this summer? Does the heat affect your appetite?
Happy Friday!!
Well I have reached the point in my Beast Mode that always happens. Weight loss has been going well, and I'm feeling good...but over time it always happens that I gradually end up under eating. Chris had to kindly remind me yesterday that I definitely haven't been eating enough the last couple of days, and he's going out of town this weekend so he gave me very strict instructions on eating more and eating more fat. (Especially with the exercise I've been doing). 😂😂
It is a really hard thing mentally though to convince yourself that you need to eat more when the scale has been going down. You get so scared of seeing the scale go up again that in your mind all you can think about is just eating less. It's a balance because I definitely can tell that my body is needing more energy right now and I know that I really need to up my fat intake. But even after all these years of doing this I still just get nervous about gaining weight. It's just so much easier for me ...
