Bone-in ribeye from Independence Ark Farm. Grass fed, grass finished and delicious! Never been disappointed with any of the meat from their farm. Topped with Irish butter and Maldon sea salt flakes 🔥

After 3 years carnivore (today!), I’m looking back at some pics from along the way. These are from last Fall, when I felt I was at my IDEAL health, weight and body composition @ 45 yrs old. I was between 130-132 lbs. Months before that, I enjoyed seeing the scale go under 130 but didn’t feel quite as good that low. I have experimented many times and kept proving to myself this fact: For me to maintain my personal ideal health, I need to eat mostly BBBE (beef, butter, bacon, eggs), occasional dairy, keep my stress level as low as possible, get good quality sleep, strength train 2 days/wk, intermittent fasting (1-2 meals/day with some 48 hr fasts in the mix) Blessed and thankful for this journey the last 3 years!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼💕

Make July a great one!! ✨

Getting spoiled with my favorite smoked brisket!! 🔥 Enjoying the carnivore lifestyle for almost 3 years!

Egg scramble for brunch! I might have added too much cheese, but it was delicious! I enjoy adding Baja Gold mineral sea salt. It’s intense and crunchy! 🔥

Taco Tuesday 🌮 taco bowl made with ground beef from Independence Ark Farms, homemade taco seasoning, cheddar and sour cream.

1st meal after my road trip was a fatty steak! Just what I needed to get back to the grind this week. It was cooked ahead and reheated. Busy summer!

Reverse searing these steaks in the oven to take on my girl’s trip! I’ll slice them and add to the cooler to make some easy meals while on the road. 💪

Big horn sheep in the Black Hills of South Dakota!

Bratwursts and fire pit at the cabin. Lovely evening!

Enjoying time in nature at our cabin, with 2 8 yr olds! Love the Black Hills of South Dakota! So peaceful 🌲⛰️

Brought some bacon to have along with coffee on the ride to the cabin. I love cold bacon that was cooked in the oven. The best texture!

Happy little birds!

Cooking oven bacon to bring to the cabin! 😋

Work lunch yesterday. I enjoyed every bite of my steak and side of bacon! Such a treat…no cooking, no dishes! 😋

Splurging on cheese bratwursts today! 😋🔥 Life is good!

Enjoying this meal on my deck ☀️ Ribeye and cracklins 🔥

Weekend plans: Saturday ✅ Sunday ✅

Scrambled eggs with ground beef, salt and butter again. It was so filling, it served as my only meal for the day. Quick and easy carnivore meal since I usually have cooked ground beef on hand. Never sounds great, but always tastes delicious. 73/27 is my favorite ground beef, if I can find it.

We can’t change the past. We can only change the way we feel about it, and the way it affects our future.
