We were all talking on the livestream last night about how so many of us are (or were recently) feeling in a rut and having a hard time getting fully mentally committed. We realized that it's 38 days till (American) Thanksgiving and so maybe this would be a perfect time to kick things into high gear.
Chris is already doing this with his weight cut he's been doing. I have been getting things more strict recently after snacking too much for a couple weeks. I feel unbelievably better just after having 4-5 days super dialed in.
So let's all kick things into high gear for the next 38 days! Set some strong shorter term goals that you want to focus on. One of our dear members is taking on the big challenge of giving up diary! Another mentioned cutting out sweeteners. For you it might just be "no snacking". Think about one way that you can kick things into high gear over the next 38 days.
With all that said I want to remind you that while sometimes a "challenge" can be motivating and fun, it also has to still be realistic for you! This is why I'm not suggesting the same "protocol" for everyone, we all have different things we are ready for in our own lives. Don't let FOMO cause you to do something that's going to actually set you back.
Also REMINDER: sticking to your Non-Negotiable is the MOST IMPORTANT thing. That should be simple and something that keeps you on track above all else. THEN focus on another tough goal...one that can help you stay dialed in for the next 38 days. But no matter what, if for some reason if you don't stick to that "challenge" goal, keep your focus on the one Non-Negotiable that will keep you on track.
What is your Non-Negotiable?
What is your 38 Day "Challenge" goal?
You can check out the replay of the livestream to hear more about it all. I hope you have an amazing week!!
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.
