@shorepine @MomLarisa Hi Ladies! Back at it, if you're interested.... hope you're having a great summer!

@MomLarisa how are you feeling this week?

Crazy week! @shorepine I loved your update!! I did cycle lower this past week. The number of workouts and pony training time you get in is just astonishing! Seriously. I've gained a few pounds and hit a low energy and need to refocus and make better (non-carb/better calorie choices). A bit of stress eating :( and not even…

Hey there @MomLarisa, I actually wondered if it was too soon for you given your breathing, etc. so rest for both of you is definitely a very good thing (the hardest to do but the quickest way back to it). Hiking was probably harder? Have a great ride tonight and I hope Frosty feels better!

Last week's results: June 1-7: 4-1-2 (7/9) Notes: NOT meeting the weight training goal! This week I plan to lighten the intensity a bit to make 3 short sessions more do-able. GOAL: 4-3-2

Water for weightloss: https://hub.jhu.edu/at-work/2020/01/15/focus-on-wellness-drinking-more-water/ I have to make a post it and add lines for glasses bc I just would rather not lol.

@shorepine, I hear you. My diet/nutrition has been "okay" but my portions are too big, pasta carbs are horrible for me and I've indulged in some COVID comfort eating. My weight has bothered me for a year and I've been too unfocused to really be intentional. MFP is helping with the daily log and concentrating on my wo's…

@MomLarisa, you definitely want to be careful with your oxygen levels... is it hot when you ride? My goal is to reach a maintenance level and be careful as you describe (not close to that at this time). I'll post a "before" pic in breeches to get real ughh!! Thursday sounds incredible... fingers crossed for you! Keep us…

@shorepine, you killed it last week!!! OMG, that's amazing! I'm still striving to complete 3 boot camp wo's this week (no excuse, I just haven't committed to making it happen and have been dwelling/lumbering in wishing it happens lol somehow)... I really want the benefits of more strength. So excited for your daughter's…

@shorepine how did your weekend go? I know you have a ton on your mind? Any pony time?

Hi there M! From what I've heard about COVID it really does take a long time for recovery, I actually think you're doing alot! I'm loving the new barn, thanks! I moved to Darmouth, MA and one of my best gf's has a place 15 miles from home so it was kind of a dream to move with her. I loved my old barn too (so bittersweet…

Hi Ladies, I'm not always cheery and positive (it's a practice lol) but sending positive energy your way... thought for the day... We are blessed/cursed with this love of horses and the sport of riding, and in many ways, (for me) it gives me a north star to drive my efforts and goals forward. Allowing this to be a big…

Shorepine, you have so much on your plate!! I'm struggling and I don't have children:) It'll inspire me not to be lazy or unmotivated just seeing all you're doing *before* even your workout/ride time! I like yoga for strength building too... it's really great for what we do. Today, I'll flat Lhasa and walk him around the…

Hi Shorepine!! Welcome! It's great to connect with horse girls and it never fails our goals (and challenges) seem so similar. Slow and steady wins the race and I really believe adaptation is key during this COVID period. Your herd sounds amazing, post pics? A realistic goal.... realized... is greater than months of…

Hey there! So happy to see another horse person too! Eventing is a tough discipline. Sorry to hear that you've been sick and for your girl's heel bruise.
