    I'll give it a shot! :o)

    Tomorrow is a cardio day for me and usually on my cardio days I do 20 min on the stairmaster and 25 on the treadmill. So tomorrow I'll do that PLUS I'll ride my horse, I'll go for a run through my neighborhood, and I had already been planning to clear one of the riding trails that got trashed during a storm last week (that will involve a good deal of hiking and pushing logs and debris).

    Good luck everyone!

    :flowerforyou: So glad you are in! What a great team! If you haven't done so, please share what your gameplan is for the day. I am up and ready to double, double, double!

    I plan to get a morning workout under my belt soon., :tongue: That motivates to follow my plan and gives me a feeling of success right away. I have a water pitcher to fill and chill! I can chug icewater! :drinker: As far as eating goes.....I plan on doubling the fresh fruit and veges I usually eat as well. I always feel so much better when I make this a focus. Rebelrenny challenges us to do this regularly. It sure wakes up your whole system.....give it a shot! She takes one or two days a week and goes total vege and fruit. I am not there totally but am better than I was.:wink:

    :heart: Don't forget to check in and out and let us know how it is going and encourage a new friend. Let's do it!!!!:bigsmile:

    Hello All, I'm in!

    I am getting to the computer so late these days. My first exercise of the day is done. Dug up the septic tank lid so it can be pumped. I lead such a glamorous life!:tongue::bigsmile: :happy:

    I am also planning a round of "Agricise" which will involve Preparing the bed, with compost and the tiller and then moving my Rhubarb clumps. Then I will have a round of sod cutting and tilling a new bed for the Hydrangeas I bought yesterday.

    I plan 30 mins on the elliptical, and will see what else I can fit in.

    Lots of water in already and a breakfast of avacado, salsa, cottage cheese, fresh tomatoe, and lite corn chips. Powered up for hours.

    Alice

    Thanks, showers! I went WAAAYYY over on calories yesterday. A friend of mine took me out for dinner and I was so bad. :grumble: I'm back on the wagon today though. One really bad meal won't ruin my whole week. Planning a long bike ride this afternoon and then maybe a walk later in the day. Thanks for the support! :happy:
    Happy Skinny Saturday, everyone! :drinker:
