Cardio and leg days always seem to take more out of me. I feel like I need to eat more, but that makes it hard to stay within my calorie goals. More protein or more carbs? Or both?

Working to get the “guns” in Spring/Summer shape. Adding this 5 minute workout 2-3 times a day. https://pin.it/7zUi4mO

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!

Yesterday…cardio workout. Feelin’ the burpees and mountain climbers today! Today…combo upper and lower body workout. Getting my squats in as well and this 5 minute arm workout. I do this 2 or 3 times a day. https://pin.it/7zUi4mO

Just a reminder…Rome wasn’t built in a day. We are a work in progress and as long as we keep trying we are making progress!

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.

Leg day…again. Feeling it, but loving it!

Continuing to track nutrition. Had pizza over the weekend. I think for the first time in history I stuck to one slice and then filled up on veggies. Had corned beef and smoked cabbage with potatoes and green beans cooked in avocado oil on Sunday. Weighed and measured everything. Kept me within my allotted calories, as well as under the…[Read more]

Another workout in the books. Increased weight on last set of each exercise. Will walk the pasture with my horse during lunch…before sitting behind a computer for the rest of the afternoon. Then chores and walking dogs tonight. Happy Tuesday!

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!

I did the Bring Sally Up squat challenge tonight. Did some pulses waiting to go up. My thighs were burning

Everyday the pastor has a morning message live. Todays topic was Hope killers..pride fear guilt and hurt. Learning to let go of those things and hold tightly to hope Season of change can be difficult. Start my day out with prayer and the morning message keeps me focus and grounded for the day.

Sugar detox…day 6…getting easier to “just say no” to sugar. However…my protein shake for lunch had a whopping 15 grams of sugar (organic cane sugar, acacia gum, and fructooligo-saccharides)…GRRR. I should have paid more attention to the nutrition facts and ingredients. The good news is without all the other added sugars in my diet from…[Read more]
