Happy Monday!! How was your weekend? How are you feeling this Monday morning?
I am going to embrace our routine this week and get more strict. Things have been more loose for me with us being here in Spain and especially over the last week with my Mom here and us traveling to Portugal so I am setting some tough goals for myself this week to get me back to baseline of feeling my best.
My goals for this week:
-I am going to focus on One Meal a Day just for this week, I have been snacking/grazing too much. I am not ready for a 48 hour fast this week but doing one meal for a week will help me flex that fasting muscle and break my snacking habit. (and help balance my weight). I can't do one meal a day long term but since I haven't been undereating at all then doing one meal for a week will be a good balance for where I am right now.
-No cheese (after our dinner out tonight), we have reservations tonight at a steakhouse with that provolone cheese I love so I'm going to enjoy that but then the rest of the week I am going to have NO CHEESE!
-No scrolling in bed at night (go to bed earlier), since it's still mid-day in the US when it's late here I have been getting staying up too late trying to get caught up on everything online so I need to cut myself off earlier and focus on getting more sleep.
Non-Negotiable for the week: Just Stay Carnivore! I'm going to work really hard on the goals I mentioned above but if something goes wrong, or I'm extra hungry and eat a second meal, I'll just focus on staying Carnivore and just keep moving forward!!
What are your goals for this week? What is the one non-negotiable thing you are going to focus on for this 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.

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.
