The weeks are getting easier. Not because life is easier—but because I’m stronger. 💪
At work, I’m starting to feel like my old self again. Muscle memory is back. I can lift, move, and stay focused longer—even with less sleep. At 64 years old, I didn’t think I’d ever feel this way again. But here I am. Still standing. Still pushing. Still showing up.
To anyone reading this: If you had a rough week, I get it. We all hit walls sometimes. I just want you to know—it gets better. And if your week was good? Even better! Let’s keep going.

I only stayed 100% Carnivore for 2 out of 7 days. So, yeah—gained a little weight. But here’s the wild part: I only gained a little. That tells me something big…
My metabolism has reset. My body now seems to want to stay around this weight.
Even when I ate off-plan, I didn’t go off the rails like I used to. That’s a win.
Still, I won’t pretend I’m proud of the 5 off days. I’m not. But what’s amazing is how much better I feel, even when I mess up. I pulled a full overnight shift on 4 hours of sleep—and I was fine the next day. I won’t make a habit of it, but the energy is real.
I’ve jumped back on COMAD (Carnivore + One Meal A Day) after a break to shake off the plateau. And yes, I’m still in that “meh” phase of any personal growth cycle—the part where motivation dips, and discipline carries you. But I’m not stopping.

🩸 Systolic Change (Top Number): -27.5
🩸 Diastolic Change (Bottom Number): -12
This is my lowest average BP all year. All it took? One dose of medication.
That’s never happened before. My doctor and I both agree—this diet makes the meds work better. My body just doesn’t need as much help anymore.
⚠️ Please note: Don’t try this without medical supervision. What works for me might not be safe for you.
🧪 Blood Glucose
📅 Date | 🔬 Glucose (mmol/L) |
🎯 Goal | 4.2 |
2 Jan 2025 – Day 1 | 7.2 |
31 Jan 2025 – Month 1 | 4.4 |

21 Mar 2025 – Week 11 | 5.3 |
28 Mar 2025 – Week 12 | 5.0 |
📊 This Week’s Change: +0.3 mmol/L
📊 Days in Normal Range (3.9–5.6): 70 out of 83
My glucose still spikes when I eat carbs—especially sugar. I hit 8.8 after one off-plan meal. But the second I went back to Carnivore, it dropped fast.
That tells me my insulin resistance isn’t gone yet. But I’m on the right path.
💬 Closing Thought for the Week
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
—Winston Churchill
This week wasn’t perfect—but it was progress. And sometimes, that’s more than enough.

It’s one of the coolest things your body can do. And I can’t wait to share it with you.
Until then—stay strong, stay kind to yourself, and remember:
You’ve made it this far. Don’t stop now. 🚀
See you! 😊
Warmly,
