Today is a weird one so bear with me. 😂Today I am grateful for diarrhea 🤣🤦🏼♀️ and normal digestion 💩 and just anything that is NOT the terrible constipation that I dealt with for years. After eating huge amounts of meat at an all you can eat meat restaurant 2x in the past week I am just amazed at how normal my digestive system operates now. After dealing with constipation for so many years, it is not very polite to say this, but the diarrhea I had when first going carnivore was a relief'! 🤣 But mostly now I am grateful for normal digestion!!
We have a busy weekend and then I fly to Calgary on Sunday, what are your plans for the weekend?
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.
I'm doing a live stream this afternoon at 4:00 p.m. Pacific time 7:00 p.m. Eastern time. I hope you can make it and if you can't, feel free to mention any questions or topics down below that you want me to address on the stream.
I have some work commitments Monday night but I will also be doing a live stream on Tuesday evening here in Locals for supporters at 4pm Pacific, 7pm Eastern time.
The kids and I had a fun Saturday, they got me to take them to Barnes& Noble which is their favorite place to go, and then we spent a few hours in the pool in the afternoon and then they watched a movie while I got some editing done. Today we're volunteering at church, so we'll be there for multiple services and then after lunch I'll have this YouTube live stream.
How are your all doing, what have your been up to this weekend?
Yesterday was officially the first day of summer. We broke records here and Arizona hit 117°F this week. Thankfully things are cooling back down but this rollercoaster from 105-115°F is pretty typical for our summer. We still do lots of grilling outside though, and Chris still goes for his evening walks outside, and I still go to the sauna. 😂😂 My first summer here it was so odd to brush your teeth with warm water (the tap water just doesn't get cold in the summer). I guess you just get used to it. Thankfully we have a pool but by this time of year the water is well over 90°F so it's more like a big bath.
How are things where you live? How are you staying cool this summer? Does the heat affect your appetite?
Meal accountability post. 4 burger patties with eggs and a little butter. We had a lot of visitors today with my mother-in-law so I cooked up a pork shoulder and a chuck roast for BBQ shredded pork. I can't eat pork but everyone loved the combo of the meats and the homemade BBQ sauce. (Zero added sugar). My one sister-in-law is gluten free and she loved the sauce (it's sweetened with blueberries and dates). I love how people do try to accommodate our food choices...before this never would of happened. Someone delivered a meat and cheese try along with grilled chicken. It is those little things that are so thoughtful!
