Happy Sunday. I have a beautiful evening yesterday with a group of ladies from my church. We had a Carnivore Potluck at my house. I made tri tip, pork chips, and some oxtail. Ladies brought a chicken, wings, meatloaf (stuffed with cheese wrapped in bacon), some oysters, and a few dips. One lady also brought a Carnivore "cake" which I had never tried before (the eggs and whipped cream one).
Everyone that came to my house is eating Carnivore for a variety of reasons. Newest is 5 weeks and a couple are nearing a year. Some have lost significant weight while others are losing more slowly. Several are off anxiety and depression meds. A few are healing their thyroid and other hormone related issues. It is so beautiful to sit and talk openly about the changes we've seen, the freedom we feel, and even find others that relate to areas we struggle. My favorite part is seeing the lightbulb moments from some of the newer people who hear someone else relate to what they are going through or hear a tip that they know will make a big impact for them. My love language is definitely hosting those types of events and sending everyone home with all kinds of goodies that will hopefully make things easier for them.
Many of these women were doing carnivore before they relaxed anyone else around them was either! But so many see the benefits in others and it begins to spread.
My biggest takeaway of the evening is the importance of knowing WHY you are doing this. How we used to feel before and the life we don't want to go back to anymore. Slow weight loss back be frustrating but having other benefits can help you stick to this. Also for most of us we know there is no going back. So even though weight loss can be slow, we have time
We don't have to rush it because even without weight loss this is just how we eat now no matter what.
I hope you find some encouragement today.
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.
