Happy Wed! I made it to Texas, thankfully I am in Austin which is having the least of the bad weather here this week so I had no issues getting here.
Okay let's get deep into some TMI and talk about 💩💩 digestion today!
I have shared openly that before carnivore I used to deal with severe constipation in hemorrhoids, to the point that I was about ready to have surgery for it. For me personally, diarrhea has been much more common on carnivore, which for many years it was such a relief after having the opposite problem for so long. I still have to be careful about eating and drinking too much in one sitting, especially if I'm having a high fat meal, or I will end up will some loose stools.
I know a lot of people experience diarrhea at first, and for most people it goes away on its own, however, I know some people have had to add some type of digestive enzymes such as ox bile to help normalize their bowels.
Like I said, it's way Too Much Information today. 😂 Share below as much or as little as you're comfortable . And maybe don't read the comments today if type of conversation is too much for you. 🤪
How is your digestion on carnivore? Have things improved? Are things "normal"? Do you do still struggle with constipation or loose stools?
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.
We had a VERY busy day yesterday, I walked 7 miles on my walking pad (split to 2 different walks), and ran the kids around to their different friends houses. I ended up hitting 20k steps yesterday, we all ended the day exhausted! We have a couple services at church this morning and then planning to take the rest of the day to rest/recoup before the start of a busy week! We'll play games, do a puzzle, and likely watch a movie.
What does a typical rest day look like for you?
Happy Saturday! Chris is out of town this weekend so the kids and I are mostly just hanging out. They have some plans with friends and then we'll volunteer at church tomorrow in addition to going to service. We will likely go to the Greek place after church Sunday and get kabobs for lunch since it's not Chris's favorite place to go. But we mostly will just be playing lots of games and doing puzzles all weekend.
What are your plans for the weekend?
It's finally happy on this Saturday. We had a very powerful storm roll through around 4 a.m. with 90 mph winds and rain. We have a tree on our house, but thank you Father God, no real damage. We were without power for 16 hours. Again, thankful for the generator.
And we dealt with an electric fencer at the pasture all day. Over 140 miles in 2 trips to get that sorted out (finally just bought a new one.)
Kids came out so DS could help check pasture fences for downed trees. The grands and I helped our elderly neighbors pick up branches in their yard. (the going rate is .10 per stick, they all made over $20 and earned another dollar and candy bar from Miss Sharon & Mr Loren.)
It was a long day so I'm off to bed. Thankful for protection here. The no power was an inconvenience but we were all safe and no real damage.
Night all!
Accountability
Full disclosure: I ate the pizza, crust and all. I was starving and tired and I figured I worked it off with all we did all day long. I'm not sorry and ...
