Workouts 2 years, 2 months agoContinuing to workout 5-6 days a week…except for last week, but I only missed one day, so I’ll call it a win. Weather is a bit cooler in the morning making it a little harder to get out of my warm bed, but working out warms me up and gets me ready for the weather outside. I love Fall!
-
Same here!! It’s still pretty hot here but it’s starting to cool finally! I’m so happy you did so well last week! I didn’t do that great. I got into the gym only a couple times and worked out doing ranch chores here but it wasn’t the way I like doing things. I’m disappointed
-
Our lives are busy. The good thing for us, is we have ranch chores that keep us active on a daily basis. I think as long as we don’t let disappointment derail our goals we can get back on track and continue on our journey to better health. 🙂
-
You’re right thank you for that!

Recipe Swap 2 years, 2 months agoNot 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.

Accountability Group 2 years, 2 months agoStill sticking with my workouts but I sometimes feel I’m not getting enough of a workout. Cooler weather makes it harder for me to eat healthy food rather than comfort food. Still working on it.
-
I feel your pain on that! I’ve been struggling with keeping to my calories…Info it but it’s a challenge. The depression has been tough and I’ve been trying not to eat junk food. I’m having the issue with staying in my calories but not eating the right foods.

Recipe Swap 2 years, 3 months agoPremier 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. 😋

Workouts 2 years, 3 months agoDid 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.

Accountability Group 2 years, 3 months agoI’m struggling this weekend…my daughter that passed has been 3 months and it was the 2nd anniversary of my son getting hit and losing his leg. So I haven’t been eating anything all day and then I ate a burger at night Saturday. Not good. Same thing today…I’m not even hungry but I snack here and there on garbage.

You have definitely had more than your fair share of struggles. Keep doing the best you can. Let us know how we can best support you. Hugs 🤗

Accountability Group 2 years, 3 months agoStill working out 5-6 days a week. Need to find new workouts. Guess I should check out the Exerprise app. And I need to do better at meal planning.
-
I need to be better about meal planning also. I stay on my diet but it’s definitely a little more chaotic for me when it’s not planned

Workouts 2 years, 3 months agoMonday 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]

Horse Hobby Group 2 years, 3 months agoWell…we are still hotter than blazes here in Utah. I took this week off of work while my husband is at the ranch in NM and was hoping to get a few rides in, but things just haven’t worked out. However, it’s only Thursday, so hopefully, I can get a ride in tomorrow or Saturday morning. I would this morning, but I have to take my disabled kitty…[Read more]

Workouts 2 years, 3 months agoFrom 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]

Accountability Group 2 years, 3 months agoThe bad news…I have not been on here since the challenge started…:( The good news…I have worked out 8 of the 10 days of the challenge. I’m definitely an emotional eater and I have struggled with some depression these last couple of months, so I have struggled to get my nutrition back on track. For me diet and exercise are so crucial for…[Read more]

Good job on working out! I’m so much the same way. I’ve also been struggling with depression and it’s been a really bad past few months but we can do this! It’s like a crul game… depression makes you not want to exercise but it’s what helps depression lol.
-
Thank you! Definitely helps to know we are all in this together and working towards the goals of healthy and happy.

Accountability Group 2 years, 3 months agoI’ve been STRUGGLING to get into the gym. My diet has been great but I’ll barely make 5 days this week. My daughter passed away in June and the depression is making it very hard to stay motivated.
-
Jenna…I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter. I’m glad you have joined this challenge and I hope that it will strengthen you physically and emotionally. Sending hugs your way!

Thank you so much Connie that really means a lot!
