Hey! I am in the last two weeks of another challenge and I am seeing little hints of muscle!! I am SO SO SO excited! My next one will start on September 10th -fill out my form if you are curious and might to join me!! Challenge
Hubby and I went on a weekend adventure to Utah -Moab oh heavens what a beautiful place! Found great food at Hot Tomato Pizza on our way in Fruita, Colorado. Hiked to Private Arch, Devils Garden, and Double O Arch in Arches National Park, Utah! The amazing thing is that the path we took, an average of only 10 percent of visitors go because it is a harder trail! We rocked it!! I think it was 97 degrees out -and the views and the serenity just feeling like we were the only people out there....priceless (but not really we paid $30 to get in hahaha) We did see two other couples but they were trecking the opposite direction.
Best part of our trip was that we decided late Friday night to head out Saturday morning thanks to a great find on airbnb! Here is a link that will get me some cred for my next adventure! airbnb After a long hot day of driving and hiking we pulled up to a tent with not one but two full size made beds, showers and facilities a short walk away and a FAN in the tent! There was wood by the fire pit chairs... oh and a bonus full moon👀
Sunday we hit the road and enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Hidden Cuisine before heading to Dead Horse Point State Park for a little mountain biking action! Pro-tip or cheap tip, we parked outside the gate and road our bikes in and paid only $8. for this adventure!! HAHA! Plus the bike trail head was closer than the visitors check-in so we saved .02 miles of biking lol!
If you are a winer might I suggest stopping in at the Varaison Vineyard in Palisada, Colorado. I will admit it was a little strange have such a beautiful young lady teaching me how to sip and pick and pair wine... But she knew her stuff and was very friendly. I bought a few bottles and had a sip or two!
I truly believe that this weekend was fabulous because we are in good health and eat to fuel our bodies... Life is a gift ladies and gentlemen... Unwrap it and ENJOY!
Have you ever set a goal? Or thought of a goal, then thought....GAWD! Can you imagine, totally cool, but it could NEVER happen? I have many many many times.
Let me share a little story, in January I set that goal. Someone asked me and I replied, yea... I would like to weigh 145 by the end of the year.
This may not seem like a big goal, but what if I mentioned I weighed 188 at the time! Today I got a little message from an app I have on my phone it said "13 pounds to reach your goal!" I thought, hmm... cool! I wonder what my goal was, and when I got home from walking, I looked & I almost started crying. The rest of the message was CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE LOST 30 POUNDS & HAVE ONLY 13 MORE TO REACH YOUR GOAL. Thirty pounds. That is a lot, and I feel SO much better and have SO much more energy! I have set backs, you know when you feel like you look good and "deserve" a treat! HAHA!
I promise you, I will not ever let my treats get so out of control that I am jeopardizing my health again!
This photo is me in 2016 at the beginning of my first 21 day fix challenge and I weighed 198 pounds. I was actively unhealthy, I hiked and I biked and we walked all over Colorado! However, I drank beer after beer and did not fuel my body with water first and veggies most! The smaller photo of me is taken June 13th, 2018 and I weighed 157 pounds. I am up a pound, but I know why and I know how to stop it. So I am confident, and I look forward to what my future holds!
I am getting pumped up to start a Liift4 program, and I want to ROCK it! Wish me luck or join me! It starts in October, however, I have seen the videos, and like 80 day obsession, I want to be ready and will be doing things to prep! If you are interested in more info. email me or PM me on FB!
