Happy Monday evening everyone!
It was a good Livestream tonight, as much as I got to hear. Was making Farmer's supper and folding laundry and had to leave early. I'll finish it tomorrow. Welcome to the new people I saw!
Today was a day. Good part was we are now on corn, so moving forward in harvest. And the cold front came through so it's much cooler this evening and will be tomorrow. But 90 again by the weekend. 😱🥵
Exercise/movement: Not a lot. Busy at my desk at work. Did do a Wm shop (again!) for Farmer. No good yellow tag sales in the meat dept.
Not enough time this evening to go on a walk. I miss it. Hopefully tomorrow after work.
Food: Fasting. I"m at almost 24 hours of my 42. I'm feeling strong this time around. No extra cravings while making dinner. I made up burger patties for lunches this week. I fried up 2 and will break my fast at lunch.
Laura was talking about her labs tonight. I've been feeling a bit worn out too. I wrote it off to my age (61) and how busy we are on a daily basis. But then I wondered if maybe we are low in iodine as Dr Berry says most adults are. I know we don't eat near enough seafood. So we've been taking 3 drops 2x a day and I'm feeling different/better. (Just asked Farmer if he can tell a difference and he said he feels better too.) Can't say I'm bouncing off the walls, but I don't feel as tired. I'll keep you posted on how we feel over the next month. We also added in Vit D3/K2 as we are heading into the dark months.
Ok, time to finish cleaning up the kitchen and I'll see my bed earlier tonight. Sleep sweet!
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 Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! I was catching up on Locals tonight and just wanted to reach through the screen and give several of you that are struggling a big hug. I also wanted to say how proud of am to those of you that reached out saying you are determined to get back on track again! I know how hard that is and it takes tremendous courage to reach out and not just isolate yourself. But that isolation only feeds the addiction.
As I was reading several of your posts I was reminded of an old podcast episode that contained many lightbulb moments for me personally on my journey. I had heard Dr. Cywes talk on a very obscure podcast many years ago (before anyone knew him as "The Carb Addiction Doctor" ) and he shared some things that were pretty life changing for me. When Judy and I used to do the CATG podcast we had him on and I asked him to share several of those things that he talks about that helped me so much.
If you are currently struggling I encourage you...
Update as promised...
I weighed this morning and my 12 days of choosing carbs and sugar treats caused a 7.8 lb gain. Not surprised.
I am back in the saddle today.
NN this week: JSC
(Just Stay Carnivore)
Happy Sunday! My knee has been feeling better thankfully and we were able to do some hiking yesterday and I have been able to take some long walks with the family the last few days.
We head back down the mountain this morning for church and to get prepped for a busy week ahead. The kids both have camps this week and I am flying to Texas tomorrow afternoon for work.
What are you doing today to prepare for the week ahead? Any meal prep? What can you do today to set yourself up for a successful week?
