Maybe it's just me but this month actually has felt very long, this week in particular! I think because I was expecting things to slow down for me after my work trips but it hasn't ended up that way. I am proud I have still been able to stay in my Beast Mode and not fall back into snacking. I haven't lost much weight in the last couple weeks but I still consider that a win at this point since I haven't gained. For me this month was all about just staying focused with everything I had going on, and I am pretty proud of how things went.
As we wrap up the month we always like to start by talking about the good things that happened over the course of the month n
I'll share a personally crazy thing that happened in January, which feels a little awkward to brag on myself but...every year my company nominates/selects their top employees to take a trip as a group to a fancy resort (with a +1). I found out this week that I won that award! So that means Chris and I get to go on this trip they planned to Cabo FOR FREE and it leaves the day after my 40th birthday. 😂 On the same day I found out I was named employee of the month for December for our entire company. 😳 Which is almost even more crazy to me. 😂 It's been a really really crazy couple months for me at work, I'm not used to that type of effort actually ever paying off. 😂
Okay I realize that was a pretty wild thing, but share with us what was the best thing that happened to you in Jan. Health related or personally! Let's celebrate together today!
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 Saturday!! One thing I thought might be fun today is for everyone to share their favorite Budget meal and their favorite Bougie meal on a carnivore diet (or whatever version you eat).
"Bougie [boo-zhee, -jee] (An adjective slang): relating to or characteristic of a person who indulges in some of the luxuries and comforts of a fancy lifestyle."
For example, my favorite Budget friendly meal is just a taco bowl, ground beef with some seasonings, little shredded cheese, and sour cream. I could eat that every day and not get sick of it!!!
For my Bougie meal: A fancy American wagyu steak, usually ribeye, crab legs, and of course bread cheese! That is typically what we eat for Christmas every year. If budget didn't matter I would eat that a lot more often! 😂
What about you? What's your favorite budget meal and bougie meal?
This is a quick share of a NSV. I slipped into a pair of shorts I haven't been able to get past my thighs in several years. The shorts fit beautifully. I'm truly amazed. I haven't weighed in a while but the last time I did I was down about 4 pounds. I attribute the body change to almost 4 months of working out 4 to 5 days a week.
