After Covid I found it a little hard to get back into my workout routine. Last week I only got 2 workouts in…lack of energy. This week I’m doing better. I feel so much better if I workout in the morning…I have more energy, less brain fog, and I feel like I’m more organized.

With the holidays coming I’m hoping to use some healthier options for everything. Ideas?

Well…I survived Covid. I didn’t workout for a week, but it feels like much longer. Started working out again on Monday. Going slow because I still have some lingering congestion and I don’t want to overdue it and get sick again. Hope you all are healthy and happy!

Found an easy chia pudding recipe that I’m planning to try. Also trying to add more veggies into my meals by adding spinach and/or frozen veggies to soups and other dishes. I have added spinach to spaghetti and chili. Doesn’t really add flavor, but does give it a healthy punch. I’ll update on the chia pudding next time.

Started the Strong & Solid workout on Beachbody on Demand. I’m only in the first week. I mostly like the workouts, but there is a lot of jumping, which isn’t great for my old goat tyer knees, but I just make modifications. Stay tuned.

Not really a recipe just a lunch idea…todays lunch was a baked potato topped with cottage cheese and steamed broccoli. Love this as the weather cools off.

Got up a little late so I just did a 20 minute Fitbit workout. It was ok. And I walked the dogs. Happy Monday!

Premier Protein has a new flavor…birthday cake. Since it’s my birthday month I decided to try it. It’s ok but tastes a lot like vanilla sooo…I added half of a banana 🍌 and a couple handfuls of spinach. Yummy and filling lunch. Next time I’ll add some frozen mixed berries. 😋

Did a barre workout yesterday. Really challenged my balance. I think I’ll do it again to help with that problem. Did a Fitbit MMA workout this morning. Even though it was a little hard to catch onto its the first Fitbit workout I’ve actually enjoyed and I will definitely do it again.

Monday and Wednesday did a couple of Fitbit workouts. Not my favorite. Tuesday I just walked the dogs. Today I did an old school Billy Blanks workout. Still one of my favorites. My favorite DVD workouts are worn out and won’t play. 🙁 Struggling with my workouts because I can’t find any that I like. I don’t have a home gym…just some…[Read more]

From Fitbit, “…you recently went above and beyond with activity. Now, your body might need rest. For active recovery try light walks, stretches, or restorative yoga.” Sooo…this morning I walked and fed the dogs, fed the barn cats, fed and watered horses, cleaned stalls, groomed one dog (75 pound Border Collie that hates to be groomed), and…[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]

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

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.

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.
