I will need to try the organ meat Im not really a fan but I may give it a shot

In total would like to drop 65ish pounds

Day 6 on metformen. Feeling really good. Been doing fish pork venison and beef with either brocly carrots brussles sprouts or asparagus. Sugar is holding between 94 and 115

Looks great! How much different than Shepard's Pie?

Alright enough of the derailing BS. This is a topic to create interest in attending a UBNJ event. If you have questions about the UBNJ, please reach out to them or post a question in a different topic and keep it civil.

Hands down the best cottage pie recipe I’ve tried. I’ve made this dish several times with different recipes I’ve found online (substituting beef with venison). They were all decent but nothing knocked my socks off. Tried this one last night and it was amazing. Takes some time to make but well worth it. The mashed potato recipe was my own and not from the online recipe (I use lots of butter, cream, salt, and Parmesan cheese) because I had some left over from dinner earlier in the week. Decided to top it all off in the oven with cheddar cheese 10 mins before it was done cooking. Not a traditional cottage pie ingredient but I couldn’t help myself lol. So good I had some for breakfast this morning. Heres the recipe link if anyone wants to try: https://www.recipetineats.com/cottage-pie/

I always liked landmine work as well. Fat bar work is fantastic, and a different way to complete the lift. You don't use a fat bar in lieu of the main lift, but in addition to. i.e. do your typical deadlifts, then add on a set or two of fat bar deads to finish up. Improving your grip strength with always have a positive effect on your lifts anyway

I have shot alot of turkeys and sadly I do not remember them all. On the Brite side you will not forget this one. Congrats on your bird.

Last try. Only got lowball offers.

I have been out all 3 Days so far. Today down near Rt. 287 on Public,I heard just 1 Gobbler. And he Gobbled twice and that was it. I have been walking over Hill and Dale. Try again tomorrow

Jake down. I was moving real slow, sitting at least 1/2 hour in each spot & calling very little since it's been so quiet. The plan was to be ready for the silent bird. On about my 5th stop @ 10 am, I looked up & spotted a Jake about 60 yds away in an opening, then another. I didn't want to risk calling since he would be focused on me & I had to move a little to make a shot. The 3 jakes flanked me & I took 1 in the next opening at 25 yds. 1 bird jumped on the down bird & beat it up a little then gobbled. 1st gobble heard on the ground this week. He hung out for a while & eventually drifted off. Done for the week.

Love the landmine, I always had one, try one handed military press, great for shoulders without the danger of injury. Never used a fat bar, there are better ways to train grip without impacting your other lifts but to each his own

I thought the same thing when I saw one 30+ years ago on my friends property near Blairstown. I was sitting in a blowdown during deer season and not used to hunting in those "big woods" up there and everything has a different perspective. From a distance coming down the hill , I thought it was a small bear. The next experience was 15 years ago at the sane friends, went up for dinner and their dog came in with a mouth full of quills. Fun evening to say the least!

I remember the first and only time I saw a porcupine. It was in the Newark Watershed. I was bow hunting, standing on the ground when one walked toward me. As a City Boy, I had no clue. All I knew was that Jungle Habitat closed that year and there were rumors of them releasing animals into the wild. It looked like a small Bear to me. They are much bigger than they look in pictures. The actual body is small. The quills make it look huge. Scared the hell out of me.

No reason to change it up. Meat, eggs, seafood, butter, salt. Some organ meats if you can tolerate them. If you find yourself hungry, just eat more. Your body will naturally adjust. How much weight are you trying to lose?

Congrats BnB!! Big ol male box turtle! Found a dead turtle shell just prior to finding the live one!! The circle of life!!

Nice

South zones are looking good to me, based on my 3 days out so far. Got my opening day bird who was with at least 2 other toms and at least 4 hens. Yesterday I almost got my dad his first turkey on a private farm we can hunt - had a very vocal jake hovering around us but he never came in. Then, in a different spot, this morning I harvested a double with a buddy of mine - we are done by 6:15am - story to come later But we set up (unknowingly) by the roost -- must have had at least 6 maybe 8 Toms on the roost, not counting the hens. I love turkey hunting when it's like this But so far, all my normal spots are still producing birds. I didn't even scout - just went to spots I had success before in the past. So we are very fortunate down here - whatever is causing the bird population to drop up north (and really around the country) hasn't hit the southern part of NJ [yet] -- at least where I'm at.

Congrats. I still have to pick up mine.

Box turtle

He’s looking for the salt in your minerals. Porcupines were notorious for eating loggers’ axe handles left out overnight because of the salt left on the handles from sweat.

Been feeling great and the general body pain is starting to decrease as the weight comes off at the 21 pound down mark now not bad for a few days less than a month. We will focus on the next 20 and trying to get that off as quick as possible and probably will feel much better. Carnivore has been good to me and will continue with that and maybe add in some extra hard weeks of just shakes to change things but we will see

Cool!

He shows up on camera from time to time !!
