It cooled off enough today to get some time in the arena. I also got some swimming in

After not working out for a while and getting back into it, I noticed my muscles have been extra tight. That, along with the air quality being terrible, made me decide to stay inside today and work on stretches. I did a couple of short yoga sessions and attempted pilates.

I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday; Bubbles is starting to teeth and needs lots of mama time lately. He loves being held, and pounding on keyboards, so I can’t do much on the computer when he needs me.
Anyway, I cut a lot of time off my neighborhood loop yesterday morning. I’m down to my early pregnancy time of exactly 40 minutes. I was…[Read more]

Is it just me or do you crave chocolate like no other when the stress hits the fan….? I’m dying right now… brushing my teeth… walking around the building….

Morning ladies!! It’s dark at 6 am in Dallas!! So this is me in the hotel room right after a walk/jog on a pretty nice path around the hotel. I scared some squirrels, cats and crickets. Time for a shower and a loooooooong business meeting. NO DONUTS at the meeting I hope

It’s been a long but good day! I was able to get a 70 min total workout in 😊 half was walking/ jogging and half was body weight leg workout. I have been getting better, but I truly struggle with being too competitive with myself. I need to remember I don’t have go 100% or 0%. I really struggle with walking vs running, taking more time to do cer…[Read more]

Yay, I made it the whole day without sugar!! I took a long walk with my horse. I’ll start riding more when it finally starts to cool down. I plan on doing weights and cardio tomorrow.

So yesterday, I did really good until last night. It was my anniversary, so my husband took me out. We had pasta…. and then I had frozen yogurt. My excuse was, “it’s not icecream” haha. But it was probably worse. I’m doing better today, haven’t cheated yet! I can do this, I can do this…

I’m not going to lie… I put a brownie bite in my mouth…chewed and then spit it out… chocolate is not a comfort for stress… I repeat … is not a comfort…

Hope this helps y’all… We’ve got this!!!

I second Chantellg93 – having the no sugar challenge to think about gives me another layer of reasons to lay off the sugar. I went for a walk around the neighborhood this morning since the smoke from the fire near Yosemite wasn’t terrible. It’s about a 2.25 mile loop, and it was my first time walking it without my husband along, just Bubbles in…[Read more]

Today went alright for me. I hadn’t been doing much sugar starting before this challenge started, but today knowing I shouldn’t have it was harder. I resisted the temptation of sweets (it does help there’s not much at all in the house) Since moving we have been eating healthy! I have been working out regularly lately, which I’m so glad about.…[Read more]

Hey ya’ll… I’m so ready for this challenge… and Lord knows I need accountability. I hope that I am an encouragement to you guys… Put me in my place if I’m not… the world has enough negativity without me adding to it. With that being said… I just turned 50 this year and when I look around at women my age I’m frightened. Cowgirls I feel l…[Read more]

Back on the wagon (or rather, Back in the Saddle) this morning!! 171 pounds but I haven’t measured yet. I have been really active in the last few weeks, and rode both horses Saturday and Sunday. Cleaned stalls, etc., etc. I have several outside projects lined up to complete, during the 12 week challenge. I hope to hear from the rest of you,…[Read more]
