I'm starting my first beast mode today. I hope you all had a blessed holiday season. I'm so glad I chose to join this community. You all are so encouraging.
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.
Nathaniel has perfected what he calls "Medium Rare" Pepperoni chips. For a more crispy texture leave them in for one minute..but he thinks 55 seconds is the perfect chewy/crunchy texture.
Well total miscommunication with the pig for lunch today. 😂 We thought we ordered the whole pig but maybe because we ordered so much other food or because there was only 3 of us they brought us one PORTION of pig and not the whole one. It was probably all the food we needed because we also had blood sausage, fried bacon, octopus, and a bunch of cheeses...but I was bummed I didn't get a picture with one. 😂😂 I took this before from someone else's table thinking ours was on the way still. They cut the pig with a plate to show you how tender it is. The skin was absolutely incredible. They only season it with salt and then pour over some of the broth it's cooked in on your plate. Such an incredible meal.
Happy Thursday! I hope you had an amazing Christmas, we had a very special day but the kids are still pretty sick. Taking them to the doctor today just to make sure they don't have pneumonia.
How are you feeling today? Hopefully you feel amazing and are feeling really proud today, but no matter what today is a great day to set a goal for the next 6 days till Jan 1st. Things don't have to be a free for all for the next week.
It has been a very big adjustment for me being extra strict during the holidays. My Mom and I were joking about what a bummer it has been to not have our normal treats in since we are being so strict right now. 😂 But I will say I feel so much better and am seeing results so that is keeping me motivated. And we still had an incredibly special meal yesterday to celebrate Christmas so I no need for me to feel like I am missing out.
What goal can you set for the next 6 days to finish out the year?
Many of you will remember we prayed last Christmas for my friend’s preemie, Henry, who was born Christmas Eve weighing just 1.5 lbs. Henry had a birthday this week and is the perfect 👌🏻 one-year-old in every way. And yes, his hair stands straight up 24/7!!!!!
Man does 2 days of carb mess up your body. I cried at least 5 times from anger and self pity, I was soo irritable with people in stores and cars, and I’m peeing sooo much getting rid of the excess water in my body.
I’m a bit short on protein and calories but overall a good day back on track. Tomorrow I’m sure I will feel better mentally and emotionally.
