Carnivore 30-day Challenge - Carniv-August 2024!

Food plus some cheese and tinned tuna which was gagging dry! …gave the rest of the tins to Raymond he will add a mayo to it.


The nearly eaten meat was duck and so nice i nearly forgot to take a pic! The last pic of steak, i have just eaten and it was glorious! The darker chicken wings were hot n spicy that i got in The Company Shop. They were at their use by date so were priced at 75p a pack… well when i got to the checkout they were reduced again to 37p! So she charged me for a further 2 packs and i popped back down the aisle and picked up 2 more! Very nice they were too.

Been totally killed off with the bank holiday weekends CrossFit workouts !


My legs, back, shoulders and arms are shattered! No CrossFit tomorrow back in thursday…hopefully the one day off will do…really enjoying the workouts but then they have been high cardio and very little bar work thankfully.

Went dancing Saturday night and had a fabulous night. Haven’t been to the venue since pre covid and this is first one our lovely dance host from Lichfield has done there…massive perfect dance floor too. Nice to see some faces we haven’t seen since the last time we visited the venue so a lot of catching up!

Ignore the words that are on the link by the way, the short video has nothing to do with dentastix.

You never cease to amaze me. WHAT is a handstand pushup?? You’re insane!! :heart:

:joy::joy: yes maybe a little bit Judy but there is that youngster in all of us that says…can i still do this … can i still do that. It is a handstand against the wall doing upside down push ups.

I heard someone say once, “Getting old is for those who don’t know better.”


#86

I don’t plan to get old in any time soon but I doubt I ever will do handstand push-ups :smiley:

Sigh. City visit today. I felt I was melting. It’s so so horrible, summer. I want it to end already. But I just appreciate my A/C (only downstairs) now.
But I made sure I won’t mess up my carnivore September due to boredom :smiley: I have SO MANY different carni items now :smiley: Unusually much quark too but it was a great sale and I skipped several weeks, I am looking forward to eat the stuff again!
Alvaro happily eats (my) pork now so I keep running out of it. He cooks chili (with beans, we can’t even imagine any other kind, at least it’s not vegetarian anymore) tomorrow and he uses up all the lean parts of my only (big and fatty) green ham slab. Well, our I suppose. I trimmed it, he was happy with that as he doesn’t need very much meat in his chili but it must be lean. I ended up with a nice amount of fatty pork and I fried it, I will eat it tomorrow. It probably will be a very normal carnivore-ish day, fried pork, sponge cake buns and cheese, sour cream and whatever I will fancy. I bought chicken liver, pork liver and 2 kinds of pâté as well… Cream cheese, cream, butter (it got more expensive again but it’s inflation for you. Alvaro’s Mom complained that vegs cost 2 times as much as last year. I looked at prices myself as Alvaro may eat less vegs but they still are quite important for him. indeed, they are expensive. I am so glad I don’t need those, all that money and work for something not particularly satiating… bad deal)… Various kinds of cheese, we are prone to that but now we have camembert and blue cheese too and we don’t always have those. I made sure I won’t run out in the next few weeks! :wink:
Our shopping tends to be heavily animal based. Of course Alvaro buys some plants but the bigger part is animal as we both love those items. We have enough grill sausages now too, they are pretty useful now and then.

Oh I saw vegan ice cream and looked at it as I had no idea what on earth that could be. Rice and sunflower oil, mostly. It’s near zero protein but it’s not among its several biggest flaws I am sure :smiley: It sounds so crazy… If I had to make vegan ice cream, I would use coconut at least, it has a flavor and it is a fatty plant. Rice… It reminds me of the bacon replacement(!!!) made from rice paper. Or roast replacement made from watermelon but I think that was just a joke, they couldn’t think that seriously. I decided I will come home and make some carni ice cream in the near future. And add a little something for Alvaro as he pointed out he doesn’t eat carni ice cream. Just almost. As an ice cream really doesn’t need much else than cream and yolk.

@Karen18 yep - crazy! Lol


(Geoffrey) #89

Smoked leg of lamb and eggs.

I think it is a good idea. I felt most resilient when I found a clean groove.

For me: eggs and butter for meal one, then beef for meal two. Food sorted allows straightening of the other leaning pillars; straighten the pillows on sleeping, have a pillow fight with work stress, scatter the pillows and lean muscle back into social interaction, pick up and stack the pillows for some functional physical activity.


#91

Fantastic. Can we organise a Carnivore Retreat at your place, please, Geoffrey?


#93

Love it! Funny looking Labrador number 3 would survive anywhere.

They are so good, well-behaved with each other. German Shepherd Dogs. Not stealing each others’ food.

OK, we are at the end of Carniv-August. How did you go? I’m eating biltong as I type.

Are you up for “Stay-On-Plan September”? It’s a 30-day carnivore challenge. That means animal-based foods to varying degrees and avoiding plant foods. It’s simple but not always easy. Remember to be aware of your electrolytes (salt), if you are just starting out.

It is shopping or stocking weekend, for some carb creep dumping (dump out the carb creeps that have crept into your house), and then we are into it.

A couple of days to prepare. I think I’ll by some ghee and not buy bacon. Get extra eggs and find their perfect boiling point. Biltong can stay. Cream might go.

I kind of wonder if the one on the left has a sore tooth?


(Geoffrey) #96

Brother you and yours are welcome to my place anytime for a good ol’ Texas bbq.


(Geoffrey) #97

I’m ready for the new month challenge. Let’s get it on.
