Go Pack Go! I was born and raised a cheesehead, despite living in Indiana but being born in Michigan ;)

Woo horses :) I currently own 3 horses; a 23 year old AQHA/Buckskin double registered mare, a 17 year old Arabian gelding that does NOT act his age...he's mentally maybe about 2 lol, and a 18-19ish multiple mix mare that we rescued from an auction. I had another registered quarter horse, but she died a couple of years ago…

I'm not engaged yet, but I asked my boyfriend of almost 5 years (and counting) to please NOT spend a lot or buy me something big and flashy. I'm a country girl. I work in a daycare center, have horses, shovel manure, haul hay, etc. Something big and flashy would get caught on the gloves I wear to change diapers at work, on…

grilled chicken wrap with no tomatoes and no sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings with a side of chips and salsa (and a few french fries stolen from my boyfriend) ;) with a DQ ice cream cone for dessert.

I'm going to do my normal 40-50 minute workout. I skimped on today, only doing my 30 Day Shred, but tomorrow I'll be back to normal.

Awesome progress! So inspiring :) Way to go and keep it up!!!

I love fresh raspberries, bananas, fuji apples, plums, and fresh Northern Michigan blueberries (fresh as in I picked them myself). The wild blueberries on the UP of Michigan are the BEST!

Stationary Bike (I love mine and use it daily) Free Weights Set (instead of just the 2.5 and 5lb weights I have) Elliptical Treadmill Bowflex Rack w/Olympic Bar and plates (seems to be fairly common, and I am getting more into strength training as well, so it would be really nice) TV/DVD combo with fitness DVDs Plenty of…

Smoke Signals. I had to watch it for a class, but it's turned into one of my favorite movies and yes it is on Netflix :)

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer Frosty the Snowman The Polar Express How The Grinch Stole Christmas (cartoon, not Jim Carrey) ...yes, I like my cartoons ;) It just can't be Christmas without these!

Oh if I only had a dog that big ;) Think riding my horse everywhere will work instead?! Cuz that, I can handle haha.

Warm weather -cotton shorts or basketball shorts or yoga capris and a t-shirt or tank top and sports bra Cool weather - short or long sleeve t-shirt and yoga pants I workout in my garage in the winter, and there is heat, but it's not the best so I occasionally add a hoodie to start, but usually I find myself way too warm…

I just finished Day 2 of Level 1, and compared to the first time I tried 30DS I don't feel too bad ;) I'm also riding my stationary bike afterwards though and it seems to be making my legs not hurt QUITE as bad (but yes, I still hurt lol) Edited to add...I quit 30DS first time through when I sprained my ankle while running…

You look fabulous! You've done so much for yourself and it's amazing! I love seeing success stores like yours :)

I had toy trucks and cars. My barbies got to go for rides in army trucks ;) There's no problem at all with girls wanting to play with trucks!

Good for you! I rarely eat fast food, and when I do it's a Subway 6-inch turkey breast on wheat or one of their bacon and eggwhite English muffins, with no cheese or I get a salad at Wendy's with no cheese. You'll feel so much better giving up all the greasy, gross fast food. I'm trying to get my family to understand that…

I'm starting 30 Day Shred once my final exams end this week! I tried it before and got through a week before deciding to run more because it was nice out. I'm also getting Ripped in 30 and Killer Abs for Christmas and will do each of those as well :)

I had Rhinoplasty (nose reconstructive surgery) at age 12. Don't judge...it was after I shattered it in an accident that almost killed me, and it healed wrong.

I take mine in the form of a mocha...so with chocolate syrup and vanilla soymilk ;) But if I'm drinking regular coffee, I take it with creamer (Pumpkin Spice flavored when it's available, otherwise French Vanilla). I can't drink it black, either. The taste and bitterness is just awful.

1. pops or kix? **Kix 2. apple jacks or apple cinnamon cheerios? **Apple Cinnamon Cheerios 3. cinnamon toast crunch or golden grahams? **Golden Grahams!!! 4. honey nut cheerios or honey bunches of oats? **Honey Bunches of Oats 5. cocoa puffs or cocoa pebbles? **Cocoa Pebbles 6. fruity pebbles or froot loops? **Froot Loops…

I haven't truly given up anything, although I've noticed that since I've cut down considerably on the greasy food, my stomach can't handle it AT ALL when I do eat greasy foods now. So I don't eat much of that stuff, and I don't miss it any longer. I REFUSE to give up the following though, no matter how sick I get... -Pizza…

The city of Fort Wayne, IN had a mayor once named Harry Baals (prounounced Bales...but everyone of course said Balls).

I'm a bit "boring" in the veggie's department, because I have no problem eating the same few over and over again! I love carrots, green peppers, green beans, peas, and celery! However, my "interesting" recipes include these... -Acorn Squash...add a whole one to a large pot of vegetable beef barley soup and it will thicken…

I've been having MUCH better results since I started eating more calories. All last week, I exercised to 2200 calories or more to consume for the day (my regular is 1600 on here) and I ate around 2000 a day, and went from 175-171. I know, water fluxuations, but still! I'm experimenting now on the eat more weigh less mantra…

I allow myself a cheat now and then, but even on my "cheat day" I exercise and usually end up under my calorie goal for the day, but my fat will go over. I've decided that, at least for me, I can't go 100% healthy food only yet because I still live at home, and my parents have not adopted my healthier lifestyle (but they…

I'm also a broke college student, not living on campus (so no access to my school's free gym for students unless I want to go to class smelling like sweat), and I've been using the C25K app (free for ipod/iphone and droid) and 30 Day Shred (although, I need to start that again) because it was $10 at Walmart. I also go…

I'm seeing so many people posting success with 30DS lately. I might just have to get some mats out and give it another go! I can't do it in my house because it's so old that the jumping jacks will shake (and possibly knock over) our Christmas tree, so I have to do it on the concrete floor in the garage. However, I keep…

I had a wonderful Cocker Spaniel named Ashlee's Prince Charming :) Got him when I was 3, and he passed away when I was 18. My dad figured if he bought me my prince charming early, I wouldn't go out looking for boys lol. He was THE BEST. I can't wait to get another one. I also have a cat that thinks she is a dog, if that…

I honestly base my horseback riding calorie burn based on what speed I've spent the most time at, or log it as "general." I'm a hunt seat rider on my university equestrian team, so I do a fair bit of posting and holding 2-point. For me, it all depends on speed. I make sure I do plenty of other exercise on my riding days as…

A gym membership! Seriously. And wireless earbuds for my ipod. I hate running and the cord gets all tangled up in my arms.
