The body is weird and I cannot predict how it will react to anything these days. Early December I hit a new low of 164 lbs and I was pretty darn excited and a week later and for three weeks I bounced back up to 168 lbs, down to 167 lbs for a week and now back down to 164 lbs. I am eating fewer carbs at the moment, so maybe that accounts for the drop back down? Who the heck knows! And that my friends is why I take measurements, because they are a much better indicator of progress. Or I look at how my clothes fit. Yesterday I bought a pair of size medium Lululemon pants. A MEDIUM!!! Pretty sure I haven't worn a medium since I was in my early 20s. 😲
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 Thursday! It has been a very busy few days for me but thankfully the first conference I was hosting here is over so that's a big weight lifted off me. Meals so far have been a lot of tapas and buffets, not a ton of options for me. Last night thankfully I was able to get a big steak, and the rest of the trip I will have more control over what I eat. Still feeling the jet lag a big, but that's also probably from being up very early and staying out too late. 🤪 Looking forward to resting a lot this weekend, and catching up in here. Sorry I haven't been able to be on my phone much this week.
How is your week going? Catch me up and I'll make sure to check back on the comments from this post! ❤️❤️
Did my workout this afternoon and was hungry…. Not sure if it was because I was hungry or what, but my goodness this tasted so good. Two eggs fried in butter and picanha chunks cooked in the air fryer. That crispy fat is divine !
Hi all, I've been checking in but not posting much lately. Had to go to the ER last night for horrible left side/flank pain. A CT scan and UA later, raging UTI that had traveled to my kidney. :( home today resting and hopefully feel better soon. Was supposed to go see my daughter, SIL and granddaughter tomorrow for the weekend but have cancelled to stay home and rest up. I had my dinner last night at past 11 (when I got home). Just scrambled eggs and a little ground beef. Going to skip mid day meal today and wait until dinner as I'm a little nauseous :/ last night was hard as I was feeling alone and upset without my husband here. I always felt safe if he was here, no matter what was going on. My son drove me to ER and he did his best. Just not the same. Sorry to fill your feed with all my whining but I knew you all would understand. I didn't waver with my eating, even when they offered cranberry juice! My fave. :)
