Recipe Swap 6 years, 4 months agoI’m at the hospital with my sisters… my mom just had surgery. So the stress level is high… the surgery was a success so that is a relief for now… she had a tumor removed from the left lung this morning… early reports say it is not cancer… My oldest sister brought “treats” for us…. Guys… you have got to try dehydrated okra if you…[Read more]

Praying for your family. We went through that last year with pancreatic cancer, among other things. So happy for you her surgery was successful. And family support is the greatest!
-
Thank you so much! We were quite relieved. But she has another tumor on the right lung… We will be back here in 1-2 months.
-
Hope your mom is doing well. That can be so stessful!
-
So sorry! I hope she can have a quick recovery!

Accountability Group 6 years, 4 months agoEven with things “against” me today I stayed on track! We are moving my mom from WA state to NM so it’s all chaos and we are out twice today but I made smart choices and had water to drink even though my husband had to get Dr Pepper! lol. We walked home from the restaurant and moved plenty of boxes and painted a room today. So I stayed activ…[Read more]

Good work! Sounds like a busy time, which definitely makes it harder to stay on track food wise. Think of the money you save by not getting an “actual” drink when you go out…
And yay for horses being home soon!-
Thank you! We’ve stocked up on protein bars, and better snack options for being on the go rather than stopping to go out to eat. I’m going to try and do some body weight exercises at stops to keep myself moving around through the drive.

Accountability Group 6 years, 4 months agoAfter not working out for a while and getting back into it, I noticed my muscles have been extra tight. That, along with the air quality being terrible, made me decide to stay inside today and work on stretches. I did a couple of short yoga sessions and attempted pilates.
-
Good idea. How far away are the fires from you?
-
As the crow flies, the Ferguson fire is about 60 miles, and the Lion fire is a bit closer.

Horse Hobby Group 6 years, 4 months agoWhat disciplines do y’all ride?
-
I ride mostly western. But I was trying out my new saddle today. It’s a contoured bareback pad with stirrups. It is so comfortable, but it’s going to take some getting used to not having a saddle horn for mounting and unmounting LOL!
-
Mounting would be a challenge – hopefully your horse stands well! I love bareback riding, and it’s such a great workout too!
-
-
I ride western. We live on a small ranch… We go to cowboy church… I’m married to a team roper… So I have a roping saddle … but I recently got a barrel saddle… I’m not going to lie… I love it… it’s so light. I wanted something to just throw and play in…
-
Is that the kind of cowboy church where you get to take your horse? I heard of one once that takes place in an arena on horseback! Do you do any roping yourself? My engagement gift to my husband was a roping saddle – he’s not much of a rider but wanted something sturdy. I love my barrel saddle! Light and comfortable. Much nicer than a show saddle.
-
We have several events in our arena. But church is in a sale ring of an auction. Yes, I started team roping at age 40 and enjoy being on our all girls ranch rodeo team.

Challenges 6 years, 4 months agoLess of a headache today from sugar withdrawals. It’s a drug y’all! Lol Trying to replace it with water, since that seems to help most things.

So true… it is a drug! Yes, I’ve been drinking more water as well.

Accountability Group 6 years, 4 months agoI didn’t get a chance to post yesterday; Bubbles is starting to teeth and needs lots of mama time lately. He loves being held, and pounding on keyboards, so I can’t do much on the computer when he needs me.
Anyway, I cut a lot of time off my neighborhood loop yesterday morning. I’m down to my early pregnancy time of exactly 40 minutes. I was…[Read more]-
That’s great! And totally with you on teething babies part! 😂

Accountability Group 6 years, 4 months agoIs it just me or do you crave chocolate like no other when the stress hits the fan….? I’m dying right now… brushing my teeth… walking around the building….
-
I use that trick too sometimes – brushing your teeth to help get over cravings haha. I’m kind of the opposite – I want chocolate and sweets when I’m relaxed.

Accountability Group 6 years, 4 months agoIt’s been a long but good day! I was able to get a 70 min total workout in 😊 half was walking/ jogging and half was body weight leg workout. I have been getting better, but I truly struggle with being too competitive with myself. I need to remember I don’t have go 100% or 0%. I really struggle with walking vs running, taking more time to do cer…[Read more]

Start where you are, do what you can, right??

Haha I know it, but it’s been different knowing vs doing. That’s now changing.
-
-
I can relate! It’s hard when you are competitive – we are told the we should be our own competition, which is great, but we have to find that in-between you are talking about. Not as a resting place where we become stagnant, but as a step towards winning the competition against yester-us lol
-
EXACTLY!!! Lol. It’s okay to not be breaking records everyday, but keep doing stuff everyday to keep getting stronger and breaking personal records in the long run!

Accountability Group 6 years, 4 months agoSo yesterday, I did really good until last night. It was my anniversary, so my husband took me out. We had pasta…. and then I had frozen yogurt. My excuse was, “it’s not icecream” haha. But it was probably worse. I’m doing better today, haven’t cheated yet! I can do this, I can do this…

Anniversaries and birthdays should be free calorie days haha

We think alike! 🙂

Accountability Group 6 years, 4 months agoI’m not going to lie… I put a brownie bite in my mouth…chewed and then spit it out… chocolate is not a comfort for stress… I repeat … is not a comfort…
-
Haha!! I hear ya! Good for you to spit it out!! Maybe that’s the key, put it in our mouths, get the taste for a second and then spit it out!! Hey, that might work. 🙂

Not a proud moment… but I have to be real… Hope your day is going good…

Kind of like just smelling the bakery display haha

45 and over 6 years, 4 months agoThe older we get the more aches and pains we have… quitting sugar multiplies that … I have found that Past Tense essential oil by doTerra… it’s a roll on… on my neck and shoulders really helps with this. Not a rep… just something I have found that works for me. When I ride I put it on my lower back.
