It is Mother's Day today in Spain (Father's Day here is in March), so I am spoiled and get to be celebrated for Mother's Day 2 weeks in a row. 😂❤️🌹 We had a slow morning today playing lots of games as a family. We are planning to get out and go for a long walk later and enjoy the sunshine. We'll do a grocery restock today and get prepped for a busy week. We are feeling very at home here though and after a busy couple weeks we are looking forward to a "normal" routine this week.
What is on your menu for the week ahead? Any grocery shopping or meal prep happening today?
**FYI: I will do a Livestream for supporters this week on Tuesday at 11am pst (2pm est).
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. 🎹🤍🖤
*Livestream Monday night at 4pm pst/7pm est
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.
I had a relaxing evening in the hotel 😂😂 I went out to eat and walked at an incline in the hotel gym. I'll get some walks in today during some of my calls.
I went to In-n-Out after work for my late lunch, my go-to for quick eating out, but I know it's not an option for a large portion of the country.
We all know it's cheaper and cleaner to eat at home, but sometimes eating out is either necessary or just fun. I thought it would be fun to share today, what is your go-to place to eat out? What is your typical order?
I’m here. 😁 Summer school is super stressful (the worst of today was a bowl of cereal with milk thrown at a teacher and dot markers on their face) and I just got busy with walks and cleaning and such. I drove up to northern WI with the 2 dogs and have until Friday afternoon alone. 🥰 I am regrouping, refocusing on my goals. (No school tomorrow or Friday and the last 2 days will be Monday and Tuesday).
I listened to that YouTube about sugar that one of you posted with Tim somebody and one thing he said was that caffeine and sugar cravings go hand in hand. True! That’s what I’ve been struggling!!! And that sugar cravings aren’t the taste of it- it’s the dopamine and that we most likely use it to calm/sooth a trauma- big or little “t”. It made me think about my past and I now see a few things that brought me to my sugar addiction/disordered eating.
I don’t want to make this long but I am committing to 90 days of no carbs/sugar/stevia/caffeine/alcohol/dairy beginning ...
Happy Wednesday (or is it Friday? It is for me!!!)
Today went quickly as I did all the things I needed to do before taking off for 6 days.
Chiro visit which helped my lower back but shoulder is still burning.
Wm haul completed with the things I didn't need industrial-sized from Sam's. My house is full of non-PHD foods! I will toss the leftovers with pleasure next Tuesday.
On a good note, I got out the ground beef for the party on Sunday and will be making the patties tomorrow or Friday a.m. I'll be making myself some special ones with bacon & a little cheese.
Days like this I wish I had 2 fridges, one for my food and one for the crap. Out of sight, out of mind.
@Lauraespath : looking forward to the Sam's haul video.
@Veebs Sending much love, hugs and prayers.
All the rest of you lovelies, keep on the straight and narrow. We Can Do This!
