Day 6 Beast Mode Challenge 💪🦁
I haven't stuck to all my goals this week. One of my Beast Mode goals was to do a 48 hour each week. Between dinners with friends, family meals, and a much needed date night tonight for Chris and me I just didn't have any days where I made it a priority to fast. I obviously could have pushed myself harder but this is where I balanced real life and living a Carnivore lifestyle be "being on a diet".
This is why the non-negotiable is so important, in reality I had an amazing week. I am feeling SO MUCH better after being in Beast Mode for a week, I am losing weight and I am sleeping so much better. If I would have beat myself up or felt like a failure because I didn't fast it would be so easy to just give up on all my goals and make an excuse to get off track and "start again" Monday. Instead I stuck to my non-negotiable and made some amazing progress.
That being said I know how important it is for me to fast and is set that goal for a reason!! So Sunday at noon will be my last meal for 48 hours if anyone wants to join me for part or all of that. I will break my fast Tuesday at lunch. I am picking Monday because I have back to back work meetings all day and won't have time for lunch so it will make things easier.
I hope you have an amazing day! 💪💪 Let's crush those goals!!!
**Heads up, this upcoming week I will do Livestream this week Tuesday at 8 pm EST (5pm pst)
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.
For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...
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
Daylight Savings Time is starting on tomorrow in the USA, that means every state, except Arizona, will change their clocks forward one hour tonight. That also means everyone gets one less hour of sleep tonight. Research shows it can take your body a whole week to fully adapt to that one hour time difference.
Even though Arizona doesn't change our clocks, my job is headquarters out of Texas so everyone works on Central time. So with Daylight savings time I now have to start my day an hour earlier every day. So I have meetings daily now at 630 and 7am. 😭😭 I am very much dreading this as I already go to bed pretty early (and we all know I need a lot of sleep!).
How are you feeling about the time change? Does it affect your life/schedule at all? What are some things you do to help reset your circadian rhythm?
Happy Friday! Thanks to everyone that hung out on the Livestream last night. If you need to hear a good motivational rant from me check out the replay. 😂😂 The next Livestream here in Locals will be Monday at 7pm EST/4pm PST. I know Mondays are better for more people, and since most of my travel is slowing down we can do Mondays for a bit again.
That being said, I am headed out on a quick 24 hour trip today. 😂 Then the rest of the weekend we will just hang out with my Mom before she flys home Monday.
What are your plans this weekend? Any temptations ahead you are worried about?
