Nutrition…the struggle is real. BUT…I am much better at making healthier choices. There are days that I don’t want to cook or make a meal because I didn’t plan ahead…and I am headed to some fast food joint. In the past I might not think twice about ordering, but now…I turn around, go home, and fix something healthy! Thank you Cowgirl Fit!

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]

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] -

Intermittent fasting hasn’t been too bad. Still trying to get it all figured out. So much conflicting information out there. Anyone else trying this?
Food for the last couple of days has been:
Yesterday:
Breakfast: protein shake with 1/2 banana, blueberries, spinach, pea protein, and almond milk
Lunch: Salmon and steamed rice
Dinner:…[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]

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.

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.

Sooo…I thought this was funny. “One way to stay in shape is to put your dessert on your face instead of in your stomach…” (Sly Stallone) LOL!

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.

Feeling my age a bit today. Joints are a bit sore. Don’t know if it’s the incoming storms or just doing more with the warmer weather. I’m a firm believer that exercise keeps the joints lubricated, but some days they (my joints) disagree. It’s all good, though. I still got up and worked out and will walk the dogs and horse this afternoon, as…[Read more]

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]

I’ve been reading/listening to the book “Eat Smarter” by Shawn Stevenson. For me, it’s not an easy read…listening to the audio version is much easier. It is very interesting and educational and mind-boggling. Makes me think twice about what I eat. Bon appetit!

I have not been as active as I should be in this group. I hope to get back on track tomorrow. Hope everyone else is doing good.

Loving the warmer weather. Don’t know about all of you, but for me, it makes it easier to eat lighter meals…salads, smoothies, etc. Stick with it ladies. We are in this together!

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]
