Yesterday was officially the first day of summer. We broke records here and Arizona hit 117°F this week. Thankfully things are cooling back down but this rollercoaster from 105-115°F is pretty typical for our summer. We still do lots of grilling outside though, and Chris still goes for his evening walks outside, and I still go to the sauna. 😂😂 My first summer here it was so odd to brush your teeth with warm water (the tap water just doesn't get cold in the summer). I guess you just get used to it. Thankfully we have a pool but by this time of year the water is well over 90°F so it's more like a big bath.
How are things where you live? How are you staying cool this summer? Does the heat affect your appetite?
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.
I got the rare treat of taking a jet out of town with Laura on one of her business trips. I'm only here for one night so we could have a date night in Austin but I'm so grateful for the alone time. She made me some pork chips for the flight, as well as, packed me a bag of wagyu brisket carnivore snax. This meal was epic and I won't eat until I'm back in Arizona, likely before you're even reading this (5am flight back). Hope everyone is off to a great start of the week and month!
