    Here is a 30 day workout challenge. When you finish, start again and add more reps so that you end up with 100 situps, 2 minute plank and 200 squats!! Think of how great shape you will be in!

    Is 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….

    • Kat replied 7 years ago

      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.

    Morning ladies!! It’s dark at 6 am in Dallas!! So this is me in the hotel room right after a walk/jog on a pretty nice path around the hotel. I scared some squirrels, cats and crickets. Time for a shower and a loooooooong business meeting. NO DONUTS at the meeting I hope

    It’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.

    • Kat replied 7 years ago

      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!

    Yay, I made it the whole day without sugar!! I took a long walk with my horse. I’ll start riding more when it finally starts to cool down. I plan on doing weights and cardio tomorrow.

    If you haven’t read the blog about spring cleaning… you should. As a 50 year old cowgirl illness and poor health is a fact of life if you don’t take control! My favorite from the article was…. if you do not make the time for exercise, you will have to make time for illness.

    • So true. I’m trying to combat what is probably coming in the near future…

      • Listen I have rheumatoid arthritis and when I was eating a lot of sugar it was BAD! Since I have restricted sugar I am off my medicine and my joints are working again. Now that we are doing this challenge they are even better. I have said it and I will say it again… Sugar is the DEVIL

        • That is great news! Yes, since I started my 50’s I am feeling it in trying to do my workouts and everything. My goal is to lose about 35 pounds. I know I will feel much better.

    So 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…

  • Admin posted an update in the group Group logo of WorkoutsWorkouts 7 years ago

    Here is a great outdoor workout or you can do it inside. The idea is to work your way down to 1. So early on you can do as many as you can and then by the end of the challenge be doing each exercise so that you have completed 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 You would be doing each 10 times but with less reps each time. It’s a killer, but a great goal to be…[Read more]

    I’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…

      • Kat replied 7 years ago

        Kind of like just smelling the bakery display haha

    Nourish bowl from WalMart… pretty good in a pinch.

      Oo, is that butternut squash in there?

      • Yes it is… and cauliflower… with bean salsa… It’s really good!

        • Kat replied 7 years ago

          Wow, that sounds great! The kind of healthy food that tricks you into thinking it’s a treat.

    • Love it!

    • Kat replied 7 years ago

      Good ideas! Except, has anyone else tried drinking ACV? Maybe it was just me when I was pregnant, but it was not pleasant lol

  • Kat posted an update in the group Group logo of Recipe SwapRecipe Swap 7 years ago

    Not sure if this counts as a recipe or more of a quick fix, but for those of us who seriously crave ice cream, having frozen yogurt on hand is great! I stuck a bunch of Oikos triple zeros in the freezer earlier today…

    • I love the halo ice cream…. my favorite flavor is Birthday Cake…

      • Kat replied 7 years ago

        Ooo, that sounds really good!

      • I have tried the chocolate. But didn’t like the texture. I’ll have to try the Birthday cake. I heard you need to leave it out a bit and let it melt slightly?

        • Kat replied 7 years ago

          I remember that from my in-laws house. For some reason the ice cream was super hard, but oh so good

        • I do let it soften some… birthday cake rocks!!!

  • Kat posted an update in the group Group logo of WorkoutsWorkouts 7 years ago

    Do any of you ladies do pilates? I just tried a very short intro to it the other day, and wanted to know if anyone practices it more intensely. I’ve never been as out of shape as I am right now, so I’m looking for something that I can build up to.

    • I used to do it about 10 years ago. I used to love it. The stretching is incredible. I need to start it again.

      • Kat replied 7 years ago

        I’m excited to get into deeper stretches. Did you have a particular program you used to use?

    I second Chantellg93 – having the no sugar challenge to think about gives me another layer of reasons to lay off the sugar. I went for a walk around the neighborhood this morning since the smoke from the fire near Yosemite wasn’t terrible. It’s about a 2.25 mile loop, and it was my first time walking it without my husband along, just Bubbles in…[Read more]
