We'll my post today was going to be about I was on a streak this week with working out. I made the "mistake" of commiting to Penelope I would work out with her daily and she will NOT let me off the hook. So everyday this week so far she and I have done a workout in the backyard (Nathaniel half does it with us). She has a workout plan for us and everything.
Unfortunately last night at the end of the workout she was racing Nathaniel with bear crawls and crab walks and landed on her hand wrong and broke her finger. She was in a lot of pain at first (and we spent several hours at urgent care waiting for X-rays etc) but by the end of the night she was just feeling sad that she's out of commission for the next 4-6 weeks. Her day to day activities are all about being active (Jiu Jitsu, biking, rollerblading, playing lots of sports at the park with friends) as well as playing the piano daily. She's pretty bummed that she's going to have to put all that on hold for a while. Butt we'll follow up with an Orthopedist and hopefully get more clear answers on what she can and can't do.
I am guessing however she's not gonna let me off the hook with workouts! 😜 So you better join me today and get a workout in!!
Reminder I will Livestream in Locals for supporters Friday at 8pm EST
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. 🎹🤍🖤
*Livestream Monday night at 4pm pst/7pm est
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 Friday!! Hope you are having a great week! We had planned to go up to the cabin this weekend but decided to just stay home and take it easy after our chaotic week. It's Mother's Day weekend here in the US, any fun Mother's Day plans? What are your weekend plans? Will this be a tempting holiday for you?
Hopefully you can come chat on the Livestream later.
Chris was able to get Penelope into an orthopedic doctor this morning. They had to numb and reset her finger and then put it in a cast 😭😭😭
I was worried about how it was off to the side, even with the splint from the urgent care (they didn't seem to know what they were doing). But THANK GOD Chris got her in to see someone this morning and we are resetting it quickly so it didn't heal all weekend and then they realized next week it was off.
The picture of the two x-rays is the before and after they reset it this morning. She's going to have a full cast on for 3 to 4 weeks and then she'll have a brace for several weeks.
She's been a trooper for all of this that's for sure!
