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]

Sooo…the numbers on the scale aren’t moving much, BUT…I tried on a pair of jeans that I haven’t been able to fit into for the last 4 or 5 years. The last time I tried them on I couldn’t get them buttoned and zipped. This time…PROGRESS!!! They are still a bit tight, but I’m getting there. Thank you Cowgirl Fit! I couldn’t do it without…[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.

Old school Billy Blanks boot camp cardio with resistance bands this morning! Great total body workout. Also walked the dogs, but only for 10 minutes. Bad news…supposed to be windy (50-60 mph gusts) and rainy the next couple of days, so riding is on the back burner. Good news…two of the grandbabies are in town…and that’s a lot of…[Read more]

Monday Motivation! Ernestine Shepherd is well into her 80’s! I am a couple decades away from that, but I’m “determined, dedicated, and disciplined” so I can be fit and healthy when I’m in my 80’s.

Got in over 10,000 both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was more of a workout…Sunday was just a lot of moving around…grandbabies are in town. Got all 100 crunches, squats, and push ups in on Saturday. Only 50 on Sunday. Today is a new day and a new week…and I’m still on the way to a better me! Have a great day!

Working out 5-6 days a week. I usually get 5 days in. Weekends are a little tricky, so I try to make everything I do some sort of workout. Example: Cowboy and I went to pick up some pallets for the hay barn. Packing those pallets is a good arm and cardio workout…BONUS! Need to get more walking in. Now that the weather is warming up, I…[Read more]

Yayyy!!! First ride in almost 3 years. Starting my big guy out slow after that much time off, but we gotta start somewhere. Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend! Ride on!

Motivation for today…and every day. My mom and dad. Mom had two debilitating strokes by the time she was my age (58) caused by type 2 diabetes and heart disease. She spent nearly 20 years of her life in the care of others because of these health issues. Dad (on the right) died from causes related to dementia, which was brought on, to some…[Read more]

Watched “Beyond the Edge” with Lauren Alaina. She is just the cutest, but has had her own body issues. At the end of whatever day they were on she said she was proud of what her body accomplished, even though she was tired and hungry. I think we sometimes forget that our bodies are amazing. We may be on a journey to make them more healthy and…[Read more]

Feeling a little frustrated, but sticking with workouts, nutrition, and natural sugar (in food). I have drank 75 oz. of water per day for the last couple of years. Still working up to a gallon…some days I get it in…other days not so much. Still working on 100 squats per day. I can do 100 squats, just struggling to fit them in every day.…[Read more]

Been a few days since I have visited this site, but have kept up with workouts and nutrition. Made the 10 day sugar detox. My son and his family were here for dinner on Sunday. Had a small slice of light cheesecake for dessert, but other than that I’m still living sugar free other than natural sugars found in foods. Hope you all are feeling great!
