Happy Monday everyone! Full body cardio with weights, 5 minute arm workout, 60 second plank. Food tracked in MyFitnessPal. I may not be quite where I wanted to be by the end of this challenge, but I’m definitely not where I started. Stay strong!

Leg day + 100 crunches + 2-60 second planks in the books. Steps…still falling short, but still getting more in than before starting the challenge.

Continuing with daily workouts…such a great habit! The challenge is nutrition. I know I’m not the only one who is busier with more sunlight and better weather. I’m also not as good at meal planning, so…goals. I know that, for me, if I am better at meal planning, I am more likely to eat healthier, which includes eating dinner before 9:00…[Read more]

I love DST and I’ve been able to ride several times a week. I’m rehabbing my horse from some lameness issues and getting myself going again after fracturing a vertebrae last fall. Riding is just good medicine!

Hope you all had a great weekend! Went to dinner over the weekend. Indulged. Now back to work.
Yesterday’s workout: total body cardio with weights and two walks with the dogs. Today’s workout, upper body and a 20 minute walk. Hoping to get another walk in this afternoon. And…back to tracking food. Got a bit lazy, but I’m “striving for…[Read more]

No workout yesterday. Some days a girl just needs a few extra ZZZZZ’s…but…I did do my 100 crunches, 2-30 second planks, and 2-5 minute arm workouts. Gotta give my knees a break.

Full body strength training this morning and a nice walk with the dogs.

Day isn’t over yet. Hoping to get some more steps in with my horse, as well as, my crunche…[Read more]

Leg day yesterday but only 5459 steps…boo! Nutrition pretty good, but not great.
Breakfast = oatmeal with blueberries and walnuts
Lunch = Spaghetti with chickpea pasta and meat sauce made with homegrown ground beef.
Dinner = chicken, rice, steamed zucchini and yellow squash.
Snack = peanut butter with a few chocolate chips.
100 oz of…[Read more]

30 minute upper body workout. Trying intermittent fasting so I didn’t have breakfast…protein shake…until I got to work. Any of you try intermittent fasting? It’s new to me. We’ll see how it goes.

Weather has really put the skids on my riding. Well…that and my husbands work schedule. If the wind is blowing like it has been (and will be again today) it’s just not safe to ride with no one around. We will get to a point where it won’t matter, but until then…sigh. Hoping you all are getting in some good time with your equine partners.

30 minute total body cardio workout with weights. 10 minute walk with the dogs. Healthy breakfast and 50 oz. of water so far. Happy Wellness Wednesday!

Amazing to think we have been on this journey for nearly 2 months! I still struggle with smart nutrition, but I am eating better than I was at the beginning and I have been getting my workouts in 5-6 days a week. Still a bit behind on my 10,000 steps. Some days I get over 10K. Others I get just under…and still others I am lucky to get half.…[Read more]

Starting out the week strong! Workout in, water in, lunch time walk with my horse in. Weather is great today, so it will be easy to get a before dinner walk in after chores. Now to get back on track with my nutrition. Didn’t do too bad yesterday (Easter)…ham, baked potato, mixed green salad, and pickled beets. Hope you all had an enjoyable…[Read more]

You would think it would be fairly simple to get 10,000 steps in a day with all that we do, but I have come up short on several days during this challenge. I know that I get more steps than are recorded on my phone because I don’t always have it with me. However, I refuse to quit. The weather is a big factor for me, so hopefully, it will be…[Read more]

Workout…check. Water…check (50 oz so far). The day is still a bit young. I work remotely in the afternoons and my house gets a bit chilly when I’m just sitting behind my computer. Rather than bump up the heat I’ll add in the squats, crunches (think I’ll do Betsi’s stand abs workout that she posted), and push ups. Hope you all are warmer…[Read more]

Had to take a couple of days off from my workouts…the storm that rolled in took me out…huge headache, aching joints…grrr! But I’m baaaack!!! And I don’t feel like I missed a beat. I’m sticking with my 30 minute morning workouts, then I get the rest of my 10,000 steps in after chores are done. Even got the husband in on the walking.…[Read more]

Still sticking with the 10,000 steps and 100 crunches per day, as well as the 100 squats and push ups. Mother Nature isn’t playing nice, however, with the 10,000 steps, but that’s ok…I’ll catch up. The wind and snow was crazy here yesterday. How is your weather? Hope it’s warm and sunny where you are.
