  • We have a really good group at our barn right now. Someone hosted a little holiday happyhour last weekend, we all went in on gifts for the barn manager and the girls who feed and do stalls so they got nice things instead of trinkets. I spent all day today body clipping (well - bathing, riding, clipping then bathing again)…

  • Really?? When you go to St. Louis you go to Ted Drewes, not Dairy Queen! Although not being from here originally I am partial to DQ over TD - even though I live 1/2 a block behind Ted Drewes. I grew up doing h/j in Colorado, went to college in MO and moved to St. Louis for a horse job after that. I burned out in less than…

  • I'm late to join but since this is pretty much my routine already ... I am good with the working out and riding, not so consistent with the diet :( I use youtube videos to work out every week day morning - just finished this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ8yI0pj7FA - which I have done every Wednesday in 2016, even…

  • I;m with you & probably even worse than that - the future weight thing~I'm obsessed with it being in the double digits - now I don't want to weight that, I did a few years ago & know I need to stay above 100, just seeing it makes me feel like I have some wiggle room or something. I have increased my calories over the past…

  • Duckz - you know I want to follow in your footsteps! & to continue that trend I am riding with Stephan Bradley after you this summer so I'll be pestering you for the scoop so I can prepare! Have you ridden with him before? I switched camp weeks when I heard he was going to be there the second week! We've been working hard…

  • I have the seasonal issues as well - I get very depressed in winter (cold, dark, miserable, stuck in the indoor with nothing on the schedule for my horse...) add in the end of the season (where I feel like I can let go & reward myself), we usually vaction in November & the down hill slide continues though March. I feel…
    in Foods that *CALL* to you Comment by jlyle73 March 2012
  • oh my gosh - isnt' that it - I know how horrible I am going to feel the next day (& how great I feel when I don't) and I just keep right on at it. Don't get discouraged - last week, if they don't fit today it's just water & your body being out of whack (how does my body possibly process all that food at once - am I doing…

  • Breezing race horses was the toughest, funnest core work out I've ever had. I got to do it for one summer - I would go out on Saturday mornings 4-6 hours and go home and crash - so physically and emotionally exhausted - but I still get goosebumps thinking of the thrill! At home planks are the way to go - & all variations…

  • So exciting that we can start counting the days! I usually have a list - last year it was a dressage score that started with a 2, qualify and go to the AECs, gold medal (USEA thing for getting so many scores under a certian point) - I was very lucky to accomplish them. This year my only goal is a successful move up to…

  • Thank you so much for this! I got through the weekend! Definately ate extra & went up in calories but it didn't get out of control, I logged everything & didn't binge! I feel good on a Monday for the first time in a while:) it's so worth it, why do I keep doing that to myself? Thank you for the sharing, support &…
    in It really isn't as bad as we think Comment by jlyle73 March 2012
  • Welcome, I’m so sorry you’ve been going through this. It’s such a secret battle I don’t realize how many other people do the same thing, thank you for sharing. I can only do the same because I feel somewhat anonymous here. I’m stuck in the same pattern right now, but I have been living with (I wrote “fighting with” first…
    in Binge-eating disorder? Comment by jlyle73 March 2012
  • My alarm goes off at 4:45 - I hit snooze once (this is why my husband sleeps in a different bed), work out first - usually JM ripped in 30, then some yoga & stretching, in the shower by 6:15, out the door by 7:15, I have a hardboiled egg at my desk around 8:00. Will do cardio at the gym at work over lunch if time allows…
    in What get's you going in the morning? Comment by jlyle73 March 2012
  • I Love the ripped in 30 - I started it in late December, then did it again. wanted something different so I got the 30DS but didn't like it as much, it's easier. I wanted to add some yoga in so I got her yoga dvd - it's okay but not really what I was looking for. Now I've been doing the ripped in 30 - week 1 on Monday, 2…
