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 Tuesday! I am headed out on a work trip today. I am bringing some beef bacon and pork back to have for one meal today, and then I will likely have In-N-Out for my second meal today. After that my plan is to do a 42-48 hour fast. I have an all day meeting Wed and it will be easy to skip the catered lunch and just wait to eat on Thursday. Anyone else want to join me for part or all of that fast?

If you have been having carbs recently don't push yourself to fast, focus on just eating meat and not having carbs. Fasting is much harder when you have been burning carbs for fuel recently. But if you have been on track for a while and burning fat for fuel, and looking to break a stall or challenge yourself, try doing a fast and see how you feel.

How do you feel when fasting? What is your best tips for setting yourself up for a successful fast?

I thought I’d give an update. Still carnivore for breakfast and lunch and low carb for dinner, but I’ve started to let in some things without the best ingredients like potato salad and coleslaw here and there. I’ve noticed my foot pain has come back and my wrists are achy, so I’m scaling back on the carbs this week and eating cleaner! I’m down to 211 from my start weight in February of 226, so that’s great. I can’t wait to be under 200 again when hopefully more of my old clothes will fit again.
