Good Morning, Ladies.
How did you do last week? Do you need to modify your workouts and routines for this week? Share you success and failures from last week ITT.
This thread is to set our weekly goals and to hold each other accountable and to support each other in this journey of self care. As @GoatsnHoes1 said, "we need to stay beautiful for our husbands and healthy for our children". Couldn't agree more.
Not a big rule maker but I'd like to set some reasonable guidelines.
-
This is a marathon, not a sprint so please set achievable goals and slowly build up your routines. Remember, it's the steady quiet plodding ones who win the lifelong race.
-
Try to check in and comment when you've accomplished a scheduled workout. Please also let us know when you missed a workout and why (I'm asking this because sometimes we can come up with a myriad of excuses and I'd like for us to try to keep the excuses at a minimum).
-
Feel free to talk about nutrition. Be aware that there's a lot of well informed Goats on this subject so if you're trying a fad diet, you may be presented with a lot of facts, good and bad, about your diet choice. If you're a sensitive type, you may want to refrain from talking about it but ultimately that's up to you.
-
Lastly, some of us may have some body image issues. Am hoping we can try not to harp on those too much. People age, bodies change, and that's just a part of life. What we do have control over is how we manage and minimize those changes through fitness and nutrition.

I'm happy with my progress from last week (down a pound!) - I did my yoga, and walked. Even got in a killer 45 min session today. I didn't snack, and I do plant based eating (for me, my family does not). Though tonight I'm making black bean and rice enchiladas with a butternut squash enchilada sauce, and some jalapeño cashew cream. Sounds super indulgent, but it's all plants, and no oil was used in the making, so there's carbs, but compared to regular enchiladas, I'd say they were pretty healthy. Or maybe I'm just hoping.........? Lol.
