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]

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]

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]

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.

Well, the Texas wind has knocked me out of steps! I’ll be able to catch up this weekend though. Gotta keep going-I am seeing results!

Connie love your motivational Monday!!!! You got this girl! One small goal at a time ⭐️😀

Getting my steps in. My squats too ❤️Found a video for abs standing trying that now

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!

I can get behind this Step Challenge! I like that my phone will count my steps! I can get 5000 steps in easily, but 10,000 will require some concentrated effort.

I am doing Kundalini Lounge 40 day weight loss yoga. I think I’m at day 26 today. I just started the Kundalini Lounge 40 day Mental Health one with my daughter. I need to get more steps in though.
