  • “Workouts are easy. The real challenges are faced in the kitchen.” (Meme I found on social media, but for some reason I’m not able to down load it here.) This is sooo true for me this time of year, but I’m much better now than I was a year ago. Stay strong everyone!

    This entire year has been challenging when it comes to riding. Too cold. Too hot. Too windy. I have ended up just walking with the big guy for exercise. It doesn’t help that he can’t do more than just walk him so I justify “just walking” rather than putting a saddle on him and getting on. We enjoy the walk, but I know he would rather be able…[Read more]

    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.

    I haven’t been quite as active on the website with this 12 week challenge, but I’m still working out 5-6 days a week and still working towards healthier eating habits. The holidays are coming and I will need all the help I can get. Foodie struggles… 😀

    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.

    Right now my motivation is to feel better!

    Is there going to be a new riding or workout challenge this month? I didn’t miss it did I?

    Have made a much better effort to make healthy food choices. Leg day always leaves me hungrier, but the key is the healthy food choices. I may not reach my weight goals because…hormones…but at least I won’t add to the problem.

    I’m on a roll! LOL Monday – Fitbit 30 minute strength training circuit; Tuesday – old school Shaun T Hip Hop Abs total body burn; today – 21 Day Fix lower fix. And every day I walk the dogs twice, along with barn chores. Hope you all are feeling great!

    Listened to a great podcast this morning by JJ Virgin called “Feel Great and Lose Weight After Menopause”. Only 17 minutes but full of great information. Her podcast is Ask the Health Expert. I found it on Apple podcasts, but she can also be found on other social media. Enjoy!

    Haven’t made very good food choices lately and my brain and joints certainly can tell. It’s amazing how food choices affect everything. Back to better food choices!

    Continuing 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. 🙂

    No workout today…other than chores and walking the dogs. Working on meal/food prep for this week. Happy Sunday!

    Thankful for the new weekly meal and workout plans. Happy October!

    This last week was a struggle with keeping my gym routine. The days I didn’t lift I did stuff around the ranch but to me it’s just not the same. I want to get back on track this coming week…I’m struggling a bit with the depression.

    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.

    Looking forward to the October challenge and some new recipes and ideas.

    Still 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.

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