Happy Tuesday!! So fun to hang out on the 2 different streams yesterday!!
One of the things that we talked about last night here in Locals was the dopamine and excitement that is created when you are looking forward to something (vacation, event, etc). It's one of the things that always keeps me motivated, having some specific event to work towards. That's why I did so well for the first few months of the year, I had several different conferences and events to keep me dialed in.
I realized in talking last night that's maybe why I've been struggling the last couple months. Yes travel makes things hard but when I am super focused that isn't an issue at all. Once all those big events I had been so hyper focused on ended I took a deep breath and "relaxed". And usually I come up with another event to motivate me but this time I didn't have anything specific to retain my focus.
I have been really proud of myself the last 2 days, but this was my reminder that I'm order to help keep me motivated I need to use all the tools I have learned. I want to get some new bloodwork done at the end of the month, and then I need some new headshots/pictures taken so that will be something I can book and focus towards in a couple months from now. I do best with some short term milestones combined with long term ones, so I never feel like I can "take a break".
What events/trips/situations etc can you use to keep you motivated?
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 Sunday! Keeping it simple today and just wishing you a wonderful Sunday. Take some time today to focus on the many blessings in your life. Even if you’re in a rough patch, focusing on one or two things that bring you joy can shift your perspective. Drop a comment with something you’re thankful for today, we would love to hear it.
Livestream here in Locals for supporters Monday at 7pm EST (4pm pst).
Good Evening Y'all!! If you haven't tried @Lauraespath pizza meatballs yet run and get the ingredients and make them. I did a couple small variations because it was what I had on hand and also goat cheese or raw cheese is all I can tolerate. So I use goat cheese and italian seasoned pork rind crumbs. I used 2 pounds of lean ground beef instead of 3 pounds. I also used 4 ounces of chevre goat cheese plain. The rest of the amounts was the same as Laura's recipe in the video. I got 29 one inch meatballs. Oh my goodness Absolutely Delicious!! We will be eating these more often. 1976 calories for 29 meatballs(1 inch) which breaks down to 68 calories per meatball. I ate 4 and my husband ate 4. Y'all will thank Laura later. I promise. So in saying that: @Lauraespath THANK YOU and @ChrisSpath for All Y'all do for us. BLESSINGS!!
Happy Sunday!
Here is a link to my post. If you don't want to go there I posted pictures of what I said!!
