Hope you all had a great weekend! Went to dinner over the weekend. Indulged. Now back to work.
Yesterday’s workout: total body cardio with weights and two walks with the dogs. Today’s workout, upper body and a 20 minute walk. Hoping to get another walk in this afternoon. And…back to tracking food. Got a bit lazy, but I’m “striving for…[Read more]

No workout yesterday. Some days a girl just needs a few extra ZZZZZ’s…but…I did do my 100 crunches, 2-30 second planks, and 2-5 minute arm workouts. Gotta give my knees a break.

Full body strength training this morning and a nice walk with the dogs.

Day isn’t over yet. Hoping to get some more steps in with my horse, as well as, my crunche…[Read more]

Leg day yesterday but only 5459 steps…boo! Nutrition pretty good, but not great.
Breakfast = oatmeal with blueberries and walnuts
Lunch = Spaghetti with chickpea pasta and meat sauce made with homegrown ground beef.
Dinner = chicken, rice, steamed zucchini and yellow squash.
Snack = peanut butter with a few chocolate chips.
100 oz of…[Read more]

30 minute upper body workout. Trying intermittent fasting so I didn’t have breakfast…protein shake…until I got to work. Any of you try intermittent fasting? It’s new to me. We’ll see how it goes.

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]

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]

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!

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]

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 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!
