    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]

    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!

    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!

    We have beautiful weather! Got another ride in today!

    • Sooo happy for you! Can I be jealous? Planned to ride on Saturday, but Mother Nature changed my mind. Dang wind! Going to blow again today and tomorrow, as well as rain tomorrow, sooo…guess I’ll have to wait a few more days. At least Scooter will have more time to get the meds working for his joints. Have a great week and Ride On!

    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 didn’t realize the monthly challenges until recently. I only did the squats 1 time. I hope to improve here too! I need to learn time management!! Good night all!

    “Strength training makes everything easier.” (Debra Atkinson, Flipping 50) I know we all do a lot of moving and lifting on a daily basis…cleaning stalls, feeding, watering, scrubbing, etc., and our muscles have become accustomed to the routine. For me, this statement is definitely true. Although I’m not doing anymore than usual, it has become…[Read more]

    100 squats per day…25 at a time. Added 100 push-ups per day…also 25 at a time. Noticing little changes…my skin is more hydrated; I’m better able to make healthy food choices; I don’t have the sugar cravings; and many more. I don’t feel like there has been any change in my weight or measurements, but I’m not giving up! One day at a time!

    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!

    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]

    Still no saddle time. Weather has been uncooperative…rain, snow, wind. Welcome to Spring in Utah.

    Continuing with low to no sugar, tracking nutrition, and daily exercise. Hoping to ride my horse this weekend. Hope you all have had a great week. Happy Friday!

    This squat challenge is kickin’ my thighs! I’m adding 3 more each day to reach 100.

  • Connie posted an update in the group Group logo of ChallengesChallenges 2 years, 9 months ago

    I did it!!! 10 days without sugar or sweetener of any kind. No refined flours. No dried fruits. And no sugary beverages. Sugar is my addiction, so I will keep going, other than an occasional treat. Congratulations to all of you who also made it or are still working on it.

    I’ll be getting in my second ride of the week after work today. The weather in Texas is fully cooperating- for now! Thank goodness for DST!

    Horses got new shoes yesterday…YAYYY!!! Looking forward to riding again. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate soon. 🙂

    Almost through the 10 day sugar detox. Still going strong. Amazing how reducing sugar intake has decreased inflammation in my joints. I think I’ll continue even after the 10 days. Up to 75 squats per day (25 reps at a time :)) …on top of any that are included in my regular workouts. Continuing to track nutrition as well. Feeling great!

  • MichelleMc posted an update in the group Group logo of ChallengesChallenges 2 years, 9 months ago

    I started my squats this morning. I’m gonna have to spread these out during the day! lol
