💪🏻Best Weighted Vest For Women
I recently started rucking again, and I LOVE IT. The benefits of rucking for women are amazing, and it's just an easy way to add more of a challenge to workouts or walking while getting your heart rate up.
HOWEVER, you do need to buy the correct type of weighted vest for women because it can get a bit tricky when you have “ruck puppies”. I like the weighted vests that have the weight evenly distributed all around and sit on top of your shoulders and upper back. This makes sure nothing is swaying around and it doesn’t bounce or hang over the top. This is important because it can be really uncomfortable to start at first.
Beginners should start with 10 pounds. This one is 12 pounds, and once I am ready, I will move up in weight!
Benefits of Rucking For Women
Improves Cardiovascular Health - Rucking elevates heart rate and boosts cardiovascular endurance without the intensity of running.
Builds Strength and Muscle Tone - The added weight from the rucksack engages muscles, particularly in the legs, core, and back, leading to improved strength and muscle definition.
Burns More Calories - Rucking increases the calorie burn compared to walking, making it an effective way to manage or lose weight.
Enhances Posture and Stability - Carrying a weighted pack encourages better posture and strengthens stabilizing muscles, reducing the risk of injury.
Low-Impact on Joints - Unlike running, rucking is a low-impact exercise that’s easier on the joints, making it a sustainable long-term fitness option.
Boosts Mental Resilience - The physical challenge of rucking can enhance mental toughness, discipline, and stress relief.
Promotes Fat Loss - The combination of weight resistance and cardio in rucking helps in shedding body fat more effectively.
Increases Bone Density - The weight-bearing nature of rucking can help improve bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Versatile and Accessible - Rucking can be done anywhere, requires minimal equipment, and can be easily adjusted in intensity.

I made chicken and dumpling soup in my Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker Pro. This has been my new favorite kitchen gadget over the last 4 years, and the main thing I like about it is the SAUTE FUNCTION! Whenever I’m making a slow cooker dinner, I don’t have to saute the veggies first in a different pan. I also love that the base comes out and can go right in the oven up to 500 degrees. This easy chicken dumpling soup has roughly. 1.5 pounds diced chicken breast 1 cup celery 1 cup onion 1 cup carrots 1 cloves minced garlic 8 cups chicken broth Salt, pepper, garlic powder, italian seasoning 1 cup half and half 1 cup Bisquik ⅓ cup water Optional: cornstarch for thickening #NinjaFoodiPossibleCookerPro #crockpotchickendumplings #crockpotchickenanddumplings #slowcookerchickenanddumplings #dumplings #slowcookerchickensoup #sautefunction #kitchengadgets

This Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup with dried beans is a budget-friendly, hearty meal that makes a big batch for just $10! *full recipe lynkd in byo Packed with protein and fiber, it’s the perfect way to stretch your grocery budget without sacrificing flavor! I went to Aldi the other day and picked up a 2 pound bag of dried black beans for under $3 and decided it was the best time to turn it into a soup. I had some staples on hand like carrots, celery, onion, some chicken broth and spices. I also had my brand new Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker Pro that I have been LOVING lately. You can use any slow cooker or Crockpot you have, but this one allows you to sauté the veggies right in the same place you’re slow cooking which saves so much time. Honestly, that is the main reason I bought it and there’s no regrets. I know you’ll love how easy it is to make this delicious high fiber, high protein soup that makes about 10 servings for just $10 or less! You can even add other things like bacon, ham, or ham hock to change up the flavor. Add you favorite toppings and you’re good for dinner and meal prep throughout the week! #budgetmeals #soup #blackbeansoup #blackbeans #ninjafoodipossiblecooker

Leftover Pot Roast Sliders One of my favorite things to do to keep to a food budget is to make meals out of leftovers. This dinner came together using leftover pot roast, slider rolls, a bag of frozen vegetables, and a hunk of velveeta cheese. I quickly assembled the pot roast sandwiches adding cheese on top and baked in the oven at 350F for about 30 minutes. The quick cheese sauce came together with a bit of milk followed by the frozen veggies to make a creamy side dish that paired really well with the beef sliders! #leftovers #budgetmeals #steaksliders #potroast #potroastsliders #leftoversrecipe

This savory Sausage and Lentil Soup combines Italian sausage, tender lentils, and a medley of seasoned vegetables for a comforting and protein-packed meal. Perfect for cold-weather nights, this homemade version of Carrabba’s spicy sausage lentil soup is the best budget-friendly way to enjoy dinner! In my opinion, lentils are so underrated! Not only can you find a whole pound for cheap at pretty much any grocery store, but they are high in protein, fiber and they double in size when cooked because they absorb whatever you cook them in. Since lentils soak up whatever flavor you cook them in, why not use the comforting flavors of Italian seasonings and flavorful meaty sausage to make a flavor combination that is hearty and satisfying and really fills you up!

·2024-10-2This is how I cut butternut squash safely without cutting my fingers. trim off the top and bottom end and use a vegetable peeler to take off the skin . If it’s wobbly, you can use a paper towel to make sure you hold onto it but always wear gloves when touching raw butternut squash because you don’t want squash hands. cut off the neck from the bottom bulb part and remove the seeds then cut the neck into planks before cubing and then cut the round pieces into cubes as well. You can make butternut squash in the oven air fryer or steam it for different recipes. ##butternutsquash##howtocutbutternutsquash##cookingtip##kitchenhacks##cooking101##howto

·2024-10-2Did you know you can make the perfect toast right in your air fryer without burning it? 🙌🍞 Whether you’re using a Ninja Foodi or any other air fryer, this method is not only easy but incredibly quick! If you're always looking for easy and quick air fryer recipes, you're going to love this one. 🍞How To Make Toast In Air Fryer 1️⃣Preheat the air fryer: Turn your air fryer to 350F and preheat for 3-5 minutes. OR add the bread to the air fryer (like in the video) during the preheating process to save some time. 2️⃣Prepare the bread: Slice the bread into pieces that will fit in your air fryer. If you are using a round air fryer, then you can cut the slices in half so they fit better. 3️⃣Place the toast in air fryer: Place the toast, in the air fryer in a single layer with no overlapping. You may need to cook the toast in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. 4️⃣Cook the toast: Cook for 2-3 minutes and then check on the toast. If you want it darker, cook for a few minutes more. The bread should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside when it is done. 5️⃣Remove the toast from air fryer: Use a tong or spatula to remove the toast from air fryer and place it on a plate. Serve with butter, jam, honey, hummus, avocado, bruschetta, or your favorite topping. #breakfast #airfryerrecipes #ninjafoodirecipes #airfryerbreakfast #easyairfryerrecipes #airfryertoast

·2024-10-2This is my honest review of the OWYN protein shakes in the flavor chocolate. I see that these are cheaper in the stores as other protein shakes but honestly, even though it’s made with clean ingredients and sweetened with monk fruit, I do not like the taste or texture it has way too much of an artificial sweetness taste to it, and it is so thick that you have to squeeze it into your mouth. I guess it’s good for those who are dairy free and vegan but if you’re not, I would stay away from these and justify the price increase on others by the fact that you’re actually going to drink the other ones because this is not it. #owynproteinshake #proteinshake #proteinshakereview #plantbasedprotein #plant #plantbasedproteinshake

·2024-10-1What’s for dinner? We are trying out Aldi frozen chicken schnitzel. This usually comes around in the freezer section during German week and today. I’m putting it in the air fryer at 400° for about 25 minutes. I added a spray of avocado oil to make it crispy on the outside, this chicken wasn’t super flavorful and tasted like an Italian chicken cutlet to me but was definitely good and a positive is that my son ate it as well if you do have an Aldi near you check out the other German foods that they have in the frozen section and in the isles to try something new. #aldifinds #aldi #airfryerrecipes #airfryerchicken #chickenschnitzel #germanfood

·2024-9-28Turning 40 in a few months and feeling so many different things is really kicking my ass into gear when it comes to taking care of myself and all the ups and downs ahead. This perimenopause shake has protein, creatine, greens, fiber, and inositol and is taken with some extra amino acids. I did have a long discussion with my doctor about the perimenopause symptoms I have, and we have a plan in place to make the transition as smooth as possible over the next 10 or so years. Right now, whats most important is proper nutrition, sleep, and movement, so that is what I’m focusing on! **shake ingredients are lynkd in byeeeo #perimenopause #perimenopausesymptoms #perimenopause40 #itchyears #perimenopauseremedies #perimenopauseweightloss #fitover40

·2024-9-27Squash hands is a term that is used when somebody cuts open a butternut squash and they have this weird itchy, dry tight film on their hands that scabs over. This is a protective mechanism sap from the squash, but also hardens on human skin and could be super painful and uncomfortable. This is why I wear gloves in the kitchen when I’m cutting butternut squash or acorn squash or any winter squash because it’s hard to get off, you can try using alcohol or soap or some oil to wash it off but really the best thing you can do is just let it dissipate over the next couple of days and make sure that you wear gloves next time or buy a pre-cut or frozen butternut squash option. #butternutsquash #squashhands
