I loved hanging out on the livestream last night, next time I will plan to stay on a little longer to try and help since I know not everyone can join at the same time. Remember if you have questions I didn't answer or if you weren't able to join you can ask them anytime by making a post.
One topic that came up was Food Addiction, and the question was asked about tips for overcoming food addiction. I talked about it a bit and mentioned a couple podcast episodes where I discussed the things that helped me the most. Years ago I listened to a few episodes by Dr. Cywes that were very impactful for me and really helped me understand my mindset with food. We had him on CATG a while ago and I had him talk about all those key things he had shared that meant a lot to me. The first podcast link below is that episode.
I also shared the Butter, Butter Butter episode ...
What other resources and things have been helpful for you when learning to overcome food addiction??
The podcast episodes I mentioned in the livestream last night:

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.
Thanks to those that hung out on the Livestream last night, I know Tuesdays are harder and summer is so busy anyway! Next week we'll do Monday.
My Mom arrives today to visit for a week. We are excited to have her here. She likes to go on daily walks so for once I will be joining her to keep up with my recent exercise routine.
Also fyi, if you are having issues commenting on posts here in Locals, I am so sorry, hang tight. It looks like it's not just my community but a Locals issue overall and other groups are experiencing it as well. I will hopefully have an update soon about a resolution, I am so sorry!! If you are able comment on this post and say Hello so we can know who is able to comment. 🩷🩷
Did my lower body workout today, boy my legs were wobbly haha. I fasted 16 hours yesterday to today. Ate a little over on calories, (my plan is 1810 for the day) but overall not bad and I figure it will even out since I am doing another 24 hour fast Thursday to Friday. The ribeye was dinner, and I could only eat half of it. Roses are a plant a neighbor from a different house I used to live in was pulling up to throw away…. I rescued them 15 years ago and they are still going strong !

I just finished my fast for the week. One of the longest ones I have done. I just enjoyed a few eggs to break my fast. I lost 1.6 lbs this week and 7 lbs this past month & 12.8 lbs for the past 60 days. My ketones were very high as well. They are never usually higher than 0.2 when I’m not fasting.
