Sunday meal prep tip for this week. Keep it simple. Bulk prep your protein (chicken, beef, ground turkey, fish, etc) your carbs (rice, potatoes, pasta, etc) and your veggies (broccoli, asparagus, green beans, etc) all together and then portion out. I put my veggies and carbs on a sheet pan and roast them together in the oven with seasoning of your…Read More

I also love to roast a whole large sheet pan of veggies for the week! 😋

There’s always that one pesky tree in the view. 😂 8 miles on the trail today with friends.

Finally home from travel this week and got to prepare my favorite wrap for lunch… SO much veg! Delish 😋

Another walk in the woods today with my now 2 yo grand baby. 🥾

Another view of my walk!
I’ve started creating a routine this time around of: after dinner going on my outdoor walk, then doing my sit ups/push ups, taking a cold shower (which I kept from round 1!!), and ending my night with a protein creami to round out my protein goal. And it just feels so nice having this routine! Hoping it can stick, at l…Read More

What’s your protein snack? I do cottage cheese and Greek yogurt looking for some more ideas.

I did all the things and almost forgot to post. I’ve been doing the daily gratitudes, but I miss the reading. I want to try to keep that going. Maybe at least every other day.

Day 6 was going well until a last minute change in dinner plans. i substituted things in MFP and they looked good except i had a soda. This was part of my compliance so i missed this one.
Tomorrow we stay more disciplined and aware.
Hope all had a great day

Good Morning All

Happy day five!
Today, one of my gratitudes was having access to a home gym.
Work was extremely long with lots of emotions and my commute home is an hour. I knew if I put off my lift until after dinner, I would NOT have the energy to go another 30 minutes to the gym. So the second I got home I changed & just got it done! And then…Read More

Walk tonight enjoying the sunset and Colorado North Range views – blessed

Happy Global Running Day. The day is meant to encourage people of all ages and abilities to get moving through running activities. If not running, get out and move.

Sometimes walking with June is just lovely, sometimes it’s dragging her because she wants to do beagle things the whole time. That was today. So I guess it’s good that I’ve got some good arm strength to drag her along. Today was also the last day of junior year school for my son. It’s been a rough year, I’m grateful he made it through, I’m proud…Read More

While we are talking about food… one of my favorite summer dinners… cheeseburger salad! Greens & spring onions from my CSA, tomatoes, ground turkey, a little shredded cheese and a drizzle of lite thousand island dressing. Yum! I realized too late that I had forgotten the pickles.
-
Meal prepped tonight some chicken and rice. All weighted out exactly the same. , 4oz chicken and 130g rice. Then all I need to do when I’m ready to eat is add seasoning and a veggie. I also have overnight oats in the frig. I add protein powder to that after I heat it in the morning.

Attended a luncheon where I had already specified the Cobb salad and I was really looking forward to. It was so good. And it was also good for dinner since I was able to only eat half! Which was the perfect amount. I wasn’t too full or sleepy or lethargic. This is a big deal for me as portions eating out are hard for me. Especially…Read More

Since nutrition compliance is part of part two, I thought I would share this meal I made to dinner that was so easy to customize for different portion sizes since I’m currently in a deficit.
I made my own tortilla chips in the air fryer to save on cals & made nachos with ground turkey! Under 500 cals and was super good.

With all the rain we’ve had the last 2 days I haven’t been able to be outside at all. It was pretty warm and sunny this afternoon so I had planned on going for a walk after work… and then just about the time I finished work it started pouring and hasn’t really let up. I’m over the rain, we need to dry out for a while 🙂 my nutrition part of the ch…Read More

Eating veggies is not part of my challenge but I had to show off my first CSA pickup of the year. 💕🥬🌱🥗

With everyone that did the 30 Day Challenge, Part 1 and those who have started Part 2 – I have a question.
Have you taken time to recognize and reflect on how showing up for yourself allows you to show up better or differently for the people in your life?
If so, how? I’d love to hear!
-
What came to mind instantly was how I don’t feel like a hypocrite anymore when talking to my daughter about responsibilities. 😄 But I’m not sure that’s exactly what you meant. I’m going to give this a little more thought and see what other ways I have shown up better.
-
I think for me – I felt like because I committed to myself and did things that made me feel good and happy inside, and push myself… i felt so much more able to show up for others in my life. Being more present also because I was prioritizing my time better. I also would incorporate my goals with my son, and I felt like it allowed us to spend a…Read More

Tomorrow at 4pm MST our live community Call going over phase 2 of the challenge! Please try to show up if you can 🙂 also doing any Q&A you might have!

I am so thankful that I strength train and run. I went hiking this morning and the trail was steep, rocky, and unstable. Heading down the trail I lost control of myself and took a tumble down the side. At 50 yrs old, I came out with only a few scratches on my legs. I was able to pop back up. My pride took the biggest hit. Fitness does pay off 🙂

So glad you are okay and I agree – fitness and strength is so important in our lives!

Jennifer!!! the benefits of taking care of yourself hahaha! glad you’re ok

My nutrition goal is hitting my protein every day. I very rarely get this so perfect. I’ll go grab a little cottage cheese for 1 more gram.

We still have posting as a requirement for 30 Strong Part 2. We forgot to add it to the daily quizzes. We will be adding that back in. It helps hold ourselves accountable and makes things more fun!
We especially want to see all your fun activities you choose to do outdoors!

The power of the morning walk!
I have been starting my work day at 10 am with 10k steps for the past 2 weeks and it is making such a difference. The focus has been to get back in control of something I can do, that I enjoy, and that I benefit from. Part 2 of this challenge is perfect to help me now build in another element of discipline and physicality.1 Comment -
My family and I had a wonderful weekend. We went camping and ended our trip with a hike through one of the trails in Mammoth Cave National Park. My husband already book another campsite for later this summer. We got home yesterday afternoon, we unpacked, and I even got a workout in. I started week 3 of Train with Brad.

I had been struggling so much with putting effort in to my gratitude practice toward the end of the first phase, so I have kept that practice over the reading the last two days. I’m trying to figure out why I’m feeling so apathetic toward this particular part of the challenge. It’s probably just a phase, but there are so many amazing things in the…Read More

Had a great day. Took the dogs on a long walk, then spent the day just hanging with my daughter. A good start these first 2 days and looking forward to Part 2.

Fun day today. My niece graduated HS. Then spent some time outside, yard work, which for me isn’t really work. I like it. Our pool is open so my son and his friend were here swimming.

I really want to keep up with the reading, gratitudes, meditation, and shower. I have a spreadsheet for a habit tracker and a good amount of time is used on things I want to do every day. On some days for sure I won’t be able to fit it all in. I finished my book, “Hidden Potential” by Adam Grant a few days ago, and started a new book. It is Jody…Read More

Happy day 1 (again)!
My activity was going for my daily walk! Excited for a new set of habits to stick to for June.
Most surprising thing since phase 1: I’ve kept the cold shower!

Went for a hike this morning. It was a great way to start my day. Day 1 complete.

Went on a hike today with a local hiking group. The group was a little slower than my usual pace so I had more time to look around. Day 1 done! ✅

Great walk this afternoon. Lots of babies born in our ‘neighborhood’ lately. They were all out and looking so cute. Nice evening visiting with friends at my nieces grad party too.
-
Almost didn’t jump on this one because I knew today wasn’t going to be perfect, and I haven’t missed anything for 30 days..
But it’s about showing up, not being perfect! Day 1 and didn’t do it all but, I’m IN!
Let’s go another 30 days!!!1 Comment -
