Happy Friday!! If y'all watched the Livestream last night, I got a little fired up 😂😂 but thanks for understanding me. ❤️❤️ I really just want everyone to heal and lose weight and feel amazing, and I just get so passionate about not wanting people to give up. I think it was a good discussion so hopefully it was helpful. Lots of talk about dealing with cravings etc. We talked about handling physical cravings vs emotional cravings, and a lot of tactics for overcoming both.
But the "tough love" that I often share is, you can do all the right things to avoid craving and all the coping mechanisms...and it can help A LOT!! But at some point you might just have to "Suck it up!!" and decide you are either gonna such to it or not. Just like how we can't convince somebody we love to stick to carnivore if they're not ready, you're not going to stick to it either if you haven't made the decision that you're going to do this NO MATTER WHAT! You have to decide if you truly want things to improve, and it you REALLY do...then your only option is to keep going and not give up!
Trust me that doesn't make it's easy, and that's not gonna fix all your cravings overnight. It's okay to be bummed out and experience grief that you're not eating some of those foods anymore, but you have to find a way to eliminate them from being an option for you entirely!
What are your plans for the weekend? Any temptations you see coming up this weekend? How are you going to deal with those so that come Monday morning you are proud of yourself!?
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.
