Healthy Start

February 3, 2015

3 Feb

Hello February! 

Sometimes it take some healthy determination to make a difference. This month I am determined to carve out a little bit of time for myself! After a few months of just feeling blah by the afternoon, I knew I needed to make a change. It’s easy to feel like I just need a break, Mama’s need a break, and nap time is my usual down time. But this month I’ve decided to add in a little movement to help my body feel healthier.

I am not a workout person, and things have to be simple and easy or I won’t stick with them. So I am simply trying to move for 20 minutes every day. Yesterday I simply carved out 5 minute intervals in between house clean up. One time I walked our stairs, the next I did a few easy exercises; push ups, plank, lunges and squats and lastly during chores I pushed myself at a little faster pace than usual. Those ten minutes during the afternoon really helped to boost my energy level and clear my head.

So after day one I am sticking to it! One more thing I threw in for fun is drinking more water. I get plenty of water every day, in coffee form, so I’m making a conscious decision to grab a glass every time I think of it.

Small changes, simple baby steps for a healthier and happier ME.
Cause we all need some time for ourselves!

Dairy Farmer, Wife, Mama; I am passionate about my lifestyle and Guernsey Ladies.

When you’ve had the warmest January ever on record When you’ve had the warmest January ever on record and the grass starts growing…you turn the milk cows out to pasture! Looking like this dry spell should hold and they’ll get to enjoy some days on grass in the sunshine. Now we just wait to see if Winter ever does decide to show up!
Goodbye November, thankful for so much this year. Goodbye November, thankful for so much this year. Especially sights like this 😍
Good morning, cows, sun and Friday! Some days just Good morning, cows, sun and Friday! Some days just dawn with so much beauty you can’t help but stop and appreciate. Find the beauty in today, it’s everywhere 💛
Sharing the news with the Ladies behind the flavor Sharing the news with the Ladies behind the flavor when their milk is expertly crafted into gold medal award winning cheese 🥇🧀 Congratulations to Sarah and the whole crew at @briarrosecheese
Whew it was a hot one today! 🥵 So how do the Ladie Whew it was a hot one today! 🥵 So how do the Ladies stay cool? During the day they enjoy the comfort and shade of their barn. Once it starts to cool off they head back out to pasture for the evening to enjoy it in more favorable temperatures. Nobody wants to bake under the hot sun!

Another small group of heifer calves to register that are looking for their names. Must be the year of the bulls, and out of the ordinary we have one bull for you to name this round. Reminder that the first letter must match the mother’s names below. For the bull first letter much match and preferably end in Man. For example this family has already had a Lawman and other bull names over the years include - Mountianman, Fireman, Jaeger, VIP, Sergeant, Verdict, Monument, Sputnik. So give me your best for: SplurgeLocoGinaLoretta (needs a name beginning with G)LuluMae - Bull ... See MoreSee Less
