Josey30 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 HI Everyone,I am a very busy person like most of you that needs to learn to make and take time for myself. I don't always see that as important and by doing thatmy workouts tend to slack and my life gets in a huge mess!!!!! Getting my husband on board would be really nice but at this point i have to start worring about me and getting me on track. My diet has really cleaned up .. only fruits, veggies, and lean good proteins. I don't eat any processed junk anymore or diet coke. I am a wine lover thought and find that just one glass isn't enough. I am looking for buddies that keep me accountable and help me make changes in my life. I am ready to make those changes at my age I need to. I just need directions that I am missing... people to talk to about things and help me make this more fun !!! Thanks.. looking forward to meeting so many people Josey Link to comment
Elder Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I'm a horse nut too! Welcome to the group. I know you will find a lot of info and support for getting your workouts under control, as well as, keeping your life in general healthy and happy. I have a horse that I've had for a few years now and I just got a small pony that I am going to train and sell. I get pretty busy with life and work and horses and other things and sometimes it is difficult to get a real good workout in. In order to get some workouts in on my "horse days" I will set up my barrels, jumps, or other obstacles and go through them on foot first for my workout. Then I will grab my horse and work through them with him. I always try to do whatever routine I am going to do with my horse on foot first that way I can get my cardio in from running a barrel pattern or jumping all my obstacles first. It's quite fun! How many horses do you have and what do you do with them? Western/English/Bareback? . I am Elder . Woosah . Sunshine . Plants . Fur babies . New book smell . Cinnamon . Pepperoni Pizza .

Sifter Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hey Josey! I'm new on to the NF forums too. I'm in transition from diabetic diet to clean-eating & paleo. What kind of goals do you have? What type of exercise do you enjoy? I find all of this forum stuff a bit intimidating, but everyone has been really nice & helpful so far. I started my Battle Log & joined the Scouts yesterday. Good Luck!

AnnleaArtsy Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 For me weighing my priorities helps a lot. Going to bed early so I can wake up early enough to get in a workout before my kids wake up. Or cutting back time on cleaning or even working out WHILE I am cleaning. But I am also a stay at home mom so I am not sure how helpful this will be to you. Overall the most important thing is time with my kids...so recently I have been trying out skateboarding. Kind of...I have only done it twice and it was with a board that wasn't right for me. Basically anything that they love that is active I will try. If there is anything in your day that doesn't count as important then you could always trade that for a workout Link to comment
