Happy Friday!!! I had fun on the YouTube Livestream last night. One of the topics that came up was about changing your routine and habits in order to stop the cycle of having foods that get you off track.
For a while I couldn't run errands alone or I would end up in a drive through, I had to delete all the delivery apps from my phone, and I couldn't watch TV at night or I ended up digging in the panty. Sadly there were certain people in my life I had to distance myself from for a while because they were causing me to get off track and it was negatively affecting my health! We can't expect our habits and circumstances to all stay the same and just magically gain some will power.
It was actually freeing for me when I realized I didn't have to have will power in order to stick to this...I just needed to develop better tools for avoiding things that got me off track. I had to take a step back and realize what were the circumstances where I stumbled before and how can I avoid that situation so it doesn't happen again next time!
And let me give you hope that it doesn't have to be like that forever. Now I love to run errands alone and I'm not tempted, and when watching TV I no longer need food to munch on. We end up creating new habits to replace the old bad one. But that doesn't happen overnight. Create some boundaries for yourself in the meantime to help you get there. ❤️❤️
What were/are some things you have had to change in order to help you stay on track and avoid temptation?
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.
