What Derrick Said!!! I know I’ve mentioned this before, but my son Derrick, along with many of you out there, think my food looks DISGUSTING!!! Derrick just mentioned to me again last night that it looks like dog food, even worse. Far worse. He was quite clear that he hates seeing these pictures! lol I’m pretty sure he’s embarrassed that I post this stuff to facebook. But these posts about what I eat get the most views on my blog. Sorry Derrick. I must continue!!! lol
Here’s the deal. Food does not have to be pretty. It’s there to fuel my body. If you watch my video from yesterday, you’ll see that I absolutely love my plate of meat. It has helped me so much!!! In my eyes, it’s a vision of beauty. And I moan with delight with practically every bite.
As for Derrick, he does at least listen to what I have to say about the way I eat. But he’s a polite and kind and loving son, so what choice does he have but to listen? lol I’d give anything for him to try this way of life. He suffers from depression and anxiety too. Big time. And he and I both know that meds are not always the answer. In fact, for both of us, meds have proven to do more harm than good at times.
I’m going to try very hard to get Derrick to eat just meat for only ONE day while I’m there. For many, one day is all it takes to get hooked. I knew after only one meal that this was going to be my thing. Poor Derrick. Cave mom is coming with a cleaver! Watch out!!! P.S. Derrick, you know I love you to pieces!!! (It was his 39th birthday yesterday). xoxo
UPDATE: I just texted Derrick and asked if he’d commit to just ONE day if I make the food pretty and he texted right back saying, YES, he will!!! Wicked excite!
Yesterday – Monday 1/2 – Day 47
I had my usual cup of coffee with hwc when I got up. I do this pretty much every single day.
At 1:30pm, I made what you see in the pic above. That consisted of ground beef, beef slices, beef liver, bacon ends and some deli ham. All cooked in butter except the deli ham was cold (purchased during this ride along). This was fantastic!!! I ate about half of each variety of meat and saved the rest for later.
At 3:30pm, I had a decafe with hwc.
At 9:00pm, I heated up some leftover meat concoction for the previous day plus more deli ham (list of all that I ate is below). I made up a fairly full plate and ate it all.
At 1:00am, I heated up the leftovers from my lunch and ate almost all of that. Then I had a swig of cream and hit the hay!
Food that entered my mouth yesterday: sliced beef, ground beef, bacon ends, hot sausage, beef liver, deli ham, butter, light cream, heavy whipping cream, coffee, salt, pepper, lots of water.
NOTE:I don’t always add salt or pepper, but I do now and then. Since I eat leftovers, it’s hard to remember which batch had added salt or pepper, so I just leave that on my list of foods that I ate just in case. I do not use any other seasonings.
PLEASE READ: Please remember that it’s MY CHOICE to eat the way I want. If you think this is unhealthy, know I’m not as concerned with physical health. I’m more concerned with my mental health. I’m on a mission to feel better mentally… without cravings!!! I’m willing to test this so you don’t have to! But what works for me might not work for you. I’m not doing this to lose weight. I’m doing this because I’m convinced that I’m overly sensitive to carbs and that I must stay away from them if there is any chance of me feeling better. I’m eating from the animal kingdom only, like the complete opposite of vegan. I know this upsets many, but I promise I won’t eat your pets. You are free to follow my progress/failures and you can even disagree with what I do. Just remember that I will get the last word because it’s my blog, my channel, my life! That’s the new me talking! (I think I’m growing balls! Let me look… yes, I see one starting to grow!)

Happy Tuesday!
I know that yesterday I mentioned that I’d probably have 2 videos for you. That didn’t happen. My Ride Along with Me videos take waaaaaayyy long to edit. Plus I had trouble with uploading. Maybe I can upload 2 today. I need to finish my latest fleece project and I also want to record my Youtube Earnings Update for December!
If you did not watch my Ride Along last night, you must catch it! It was filled with laughter, tears and even swear words. lol I know swearing is probably not a feature I should be proud of, but let me tell you, it’s so freeing to be able to let it rip, because that’s how I am in real life. There. Now you know. lol
I have committed to cleaning up around hear a bit each day before my trip on Jan 12. I actually did indeed sweep my kitchen floor last night! BIG accomplishment for me!

My mother is surprisingly super excited about The Celebrity Apprentice. So that’s what we’ll be watching tonight. I love this show mainly because of the business aspect of it. I liked it better when it was not with celebrities. But with celebrities is okay too. And there’s new boss. He looks familiar. Not sure what happened to the old boss. lol
The Celebrity Apprentice, Monday, 1/2/17 at 8:00pm eastern on NBC (celebrity lineup)
If you missed the Chicago documentary that aired last night (the band, not the city) you might want to watch it online or catch a repeat. It was awesome!

REMINDER – No Weigh-In!!! I know many of you are expecting me to weigh myself for the new year because I was expecting to do that. In case you missed it, watch this video to learn why I ditched the scale.
Yesterday – Sunday 1/1 – Day 46
I had my usual cup of coffee with hwc when I got up. I do this pretty much every single day.
At 2:00pm, I whipped up a fresh batch of meat that included sliced beef, hot sausage, ground beef and rotisserie chicken, all cooked in butter. I ate almost all that you see on the plate above.
NOTE:I am very lucky that I can buy plain rotisserie chickens at Hannaford. I prefer plain! I don’t have to worry about any added sugar. I try to get them when they are marked down. They are only $4.49 but when they have an $.80 off sticker, I pay just $3.69 for a fully cooked whole chicken!!! You can’t beat that! One lasts me 3 to 4 days.
At 2:30pm, I had a decafe with hwc.
At 8:30pm, I cooked some of my delish bacon ends then added some sliced beef, cooked rare, in butter and the bacon grease. I always pour any of the juice into my plate, over my meat. So good! I had quite a big serving. I ate until satisfied.
At some point later that night, I guzzled a bit of cream. Straight out of the container. That’s how I rock it.
Food that entered my mouth yesterday: sliced beef, chicken, ground beef, bacon ends, hot sausage, butter, light cream, heavy whipping cream, coffee, salt, pepper, lots of water.

Happy Monday everyone!
Today is my son Derrick’s 39th birthday! That blows my mind! I wish so much that time didn’t have to fly like this, but it does. I posted an old pic of us on facebook from 1982. He was almost 5 and I had just turned 22. You can see Derrick and me here.
Yesterday, the only video I uploaded was my Happy New Year vlog. It’s a quickie, and you might want to watch it so you can know how much my peanut gallery has changed my life! I am so incredibly lucky to have such an awesome online family. Do love!
I’m working on a new fleece project that I think will be ready for tonight’s video. And I might record a vlog too because I feel inspired to say something nice about myself. Bwhahahaah!!! I really have had such an incredible change with my mental health since I started eating my meat based diet. I’m quite sure I’ve never felt this good, this balanced, this sane. I’m so scared that the feeling won’t last!!!

I was not a huge Chicago fan, but I love documentaries like this. So I’ll be watching! It certainly looks like it will be interesting. If you were a huge Chicago fan, you might want to catch this one!

IT’S A NEW YEAR!!! Not sure that really matters to me, but it will be interesting to see if I stick to this way of eating the entire year. As long as my cravings are under control and my mental health is good, I see no reason to stop! But I move with caution because I always worry that when something is this good, it can’t possibly last.

Yesterday – Saturday 12/31 – Day 45
I had my usual cup of coffee with hwc when I got up. I do this pretty much every single day.
At 1:30pm, I cooked some bacon and warmed up some rotisserrie chicken in the bacon fat. Then I cooked some slices of beef in butter. I ate almost everything on that plate. I had 2 pieces of beef and one piece of bacon leftover. In a baggie that went for later.
At 2:15pm, I had a decafe with hwc.
At 7:00pm, I warmed up my leftovers from the past 2 or 3 days and added more rotisserie chicken. It made a full plate of meat and I ate every bit of it. The meats it contained are listed below.
At midnight, I got up right after the ball dropped and cooked 4 eggs with more slices of beef. I ate until satisfied. I ate all the eggs but left one piece of beef on my plate. I find that I do not digest eggs as well as I do meat, but I went for it anyway. I woke up with a headache today 🙁 I never have headaches with just meat.
Food that entered my mouth yesterday: sliced beef, chicken, ground beef, bacon ends, hot sausage, eggs, butter, light cream, heavy whipping cream, coffee, salt, pepper, lots of water.

Happy New Year!!!
Do I really mean that? Okay, not really. LOL It’s sill a lot of pressure for many (including me) to look ahead for an entire year and hope it’s a good one. I am still at a day by day mindset. If today is good, I’m good with that. If today is bad, I will try to survive it. Hopes and dreams are a thing of the past for me. I’m at that age where I now live in reality.
Last night, I watched my Anderson and Kathy and enjoyed them so much. It’s so obvious that they are mega close friends. Love them both.
I also uploaded a What I Froze video to show you the new stuff that I cooked to freeze for my mother. I also put the Patchwork Fleece Blanket on eBay with a low Buy It Now price and it sold immediately. And that’s why I’m not really fond of Buy It Now. There is no excitement! lol It’s more fun to watch items get bids like my Fringed Fleece Scarf. But the most important thing is that my tutorial creations find a new home. That makes me happy!
No clue what I’ll be recording today. I might start another project. For sure I need to get stuff done around the house. I like my house to be clean before a trip so I can come home to a clean house. Vacations wipe me out, so I always need to just relax after I go somewhere.
