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 July 1st!! Thanks to everyone that hung out on the Livestream last night! We talked a lot about looking ahead to temptations and possible setbacks to be ready/prepared for them, instead of being afraid that temptations will arise and having that throw you off.
We also talked a lot about the right fat/protein ratio, and the need to eat fat to burn fat, etc
My knee is feeling a little better today so I plan on getting back to some walks but I am going to keep things very slow and gentle for a while. I mentioned yesterday I am proud of myself for how June went, the one pitfall I tend too have is hitting the end of a milestone like this and then saying "okay I am done", and letting myself get more relaxed. And we know that is definitely going to end up badly. So I quickly need to set another goal for the month, and then also set some short term goals to keep the momentum going.
What is your non-negotiable for July?
My plan for July...I weighed and measured myself this morning. I will not be stepping on the scale at all this month. I joined a 3 month workshop of Jason Fung's The Fasting Method to see if I can up my game there and learn more about reversing my insulin resistance. I am continuing my strength training and walking workouts as well. I often think how before I decided to make myself a priority, I would just eat whatever and not really focus on movement or anything. Now it is almost all I think about lol. Planning meals, planning workouts, planning fasts...along with everything else that needs to be done. I miss just going with the flow BUT my plan is to get to the point in my lifestyle that this is my new FLOW and I can do all of this naturally without letting it take over all of my thoughts.
