    Happy Sunday afternoon! So far, so good for the weekend! This morning before it got too hot, Ifinished up a can of pain on the front pipe rail. I just have a small part to finish the whole job. Then, at about 9, we worked the horses: went out and gathered some cattle to work, practiced them on the cattle (for the cutting in Sweetwater next…[Read more]

    I did really good at keeping the sugar out, except for coffee lol, all day. Buuut I was busy out side and it’s been hot…I didn’t eat enough today 😣. I track my calories on my Fitbit and I got just under 1500 for the day. Between that and the heat I guess that explains why I am sooo tired. Hope you all had an awesome day. Keep up the good work &#x…

  • It’s the end of Day 5! You guys are awesome. We love reading your comments and how you are beating the sugar. Hang in there, the end is in sight and then you can start incorporating a little sugar in your diet or continue the no sugar ban. Keep it going!

    One of the things that we do regularly is walking/running with our horse. Instead of always riding, we take long walks with bouts of jogging. It not only good exercise, but helps bond with your horse. We haven’t made our videos yet, so are sharing “EllEquestrian” video. There are so many things you can do while spending time with your…[Read more]

    I am noticing in the mirror my tummy might look a little better lol. I have had a headache for a couple days and there is potential for someone to get hurt if they eat chocolate in front of me 😂(joking). I am hanging in there tho. I am so tired of being tired,feeling over weight and my back hurting. Even tho I know I only have about 15 lbs to…[Read more]

    • Dawn: and when we ride, ANY extra weight shows up in our middle! I’m 5’6″ and hit 180 this year (I’m 61). I freaked out and I’m having heck getting rid of the extra weight. I feel like I look awful on my horse, and it keeps me from wanting to show him. It’s day 5 on this sugar detox and I am sticking with it. I see the scale moving and…[Read more]

      • I am having the worst time getting rid of the xtra weight 😢. I will be 50 in December and have started menapause so that is not helping any. Being a little sore from workouts is good. Just do what you can and soon enough you will find yourself getting they more days and longer workouts. I had a personal issue come up about 3 weeks ago so the…[Read more]

    • I hear you both! I am 53 and going through the same thing. And yes, it all goes right to the middle. I think I have gained 35 pounds in the past 5 years, it’s awful. I am feeling better already with the challenge, so I’m sticking with it!

      • Ok ladies, I was SOOOOO tough today! They had bagels, donuts, strawberries, grapes and leftover graham crackers and marshamalows (from the chocolate fountain at the baby shower) all spread out in the kitchen this morning. Nope, I stared at it and thought of that last photo on my horse, with my tummy prominately displayed. I stayed tough and ate…[Read more]

        • Awesome job 😊…it’s not easy but we all have to take care of ourself. I for one am having a very emotional day and I tend to want to just sit and eat sweets. 5:45 pm ( where I am ) and I have been able to stay strong. Just a few more hours till bed lol

          • Yes, my emotional eating is sweets as well. Hang in there! You can do it! You will be so glad you stuck it out when Wednesday comes. Try to think, what will I feel like if I give in… the feeling will pass. But, yes it’s hard. I’ve been drinking sparkling water and it has really helped. No sugar, carbs, fat. Some say it’s unhealthy, but I…[Read more]

        • You are amazing! Now that is the true test! Yes, I agree… we’re not giving up with less than 5 days to go! 🙂

    • Yes, many of us are in the same boat! It completely starts to change when you hit your mid 40’s…. Ahhggg… It’s easier when you have others going through the same thing, that’s for sure! Thanks for sharing!

  • Four days down!! We’re almost half-way there. Those of you that have stuck with this should be feeling your pants fitting a bit looser! Aren’t you glad you stuck with this. Keep it going! How did you all do today?

  • It’s Day 4! Anyone noticing their tummy getting a little flatter in the morning? Let’s keep it going. Almost half way there!

  • dawne1223 posted an update in the group Group logo of Accountability GroupAccountability Group 6 years, 3 months ago

    Sorry I didn’t make it on last night. I did good again yesterday except for a little sugar in my coffee. I started craving something sweet at lunch time but got a piece of fruit and it worked 😜. Luckily I stocked up on fruit at the beginning of the week lol.

  • Day 3 is down! How did you all do? We’re getting some good feedback that you’re sticking with it! Hang in there! It seems the first 3 days are always the hardest!

    You wouldn’t think Day 3 would be this tough! At the office, they had a baby shower, complete with chocolate fountain, marshmallows, cookies, etc. etc. OMG I was so tough. I did have some grapes and strawberries, but no chocolate, no cookies. My eating was again very good, and I did the exercise video!

    • Yay!! Good for you! Huge test and you passed. Keep it up, you will be so glad that you did! 🙂

    • Yes, Day 3 was tough for me as well! I didn’t eat sugar, but I ate too many Wheat Thins, LOL!

      • Wheat thins sound like they should be good for us (and they are yummy) but the carby little bastards are addictive. You should have seen me stare at the chocolate fountain! Who would think that’s a good idea to bring to an office full of overweight women????

    • Awesome job 😊. I am not sure I would have had the strength to resist the chocolate. That is my downfall 😣.

  • Susan Gentry posted an update in the group Group logo of WorkoutsWorkouts 6 years, 3 months ago

    This is why we’re asking you to do at least an hour a day of exercise!

    Where does everyone in this group live? I live in Reno NV and would love to find someone close to trail ride with.

    • I live in Veguita, NM and work in Albuquerque

    • I live in Perkins, OK. If you are ever in this area I would love to show you guys around.

    • I live near Fresno, CA. Let me know if you ever travel to central California.

      • We do go over to Cali sometimes since it’s not far. If we plan on heading your way I will let you know. Oh and I have gotten 2 emails saying you sent me a friend request but when I try to go in and accept it says I have no requests 😳. I am trying to figure out the deal lol.

        • Awesome! I’ve just started getting back into riding after being on bedrest with my pregnancy, and trail riding is my favorite. I got a couple of notifications about your comment here before I was actually able to pull it up – maybe give it a few minutes? Or just send me a friend request and we can be lost together haha

          • I figured out the friend request: member’s arena > profile > friends > requests!

            • I go there and it doesn’t show a request from you 😡. I go to your profile to send one to you and it tells me a requestrian has been sent already . Getting frustrated. Had a request come in after yours and it showed up with no problems

            • Grr. No wonder I have no friends lol Technology and I have never gotten along.

  • dawne1223 posted an update in the group Group logo of Accountability GroupAccountability Group 6 years, 3 months ago

    I was a good girl today 😜. Only added suger was in my coffee this morning and I even cut that back.

  • Day 2 is almost in the history books! How did you all do? Just think, the last day is next Wednesday. Let’s finish strong!

    I’ve been feeling a little weaker today, so I had some peanut butter and also added some grapes for a snack. Feeling better. I passed up on some discounted donuts today. They looked wonderful, but I didn’t pull the trigger. Haha! Going to get a swim in now.

    Having sugar cravings? Here is a protein shake recipe with no sugar that is pretty yummy. We used blueberries, but raspberries or strawberries would be yummy. It also gives you some energy. Try it!

    We have been talking about how important walking is in your day to day exercise. We would love to see you get 10,000 steps a day, but sometimes that is not doable. I have used Leslie Sansone’s workouts for years, even during pregnancy. They are low impact and burn calories. Try it out!
