We thought Christine was a beast, and then in comes her sister... Look at those arms! You two are doing great, hoping to see more of this. Have a nice weekend!
You have definitely encouraged this 59 year old grandmother. My boys and I started working out the 3rd of FEBRUARY. M grand is 16 and my adopted son just turned 7, 1 27. We are ready... to rock this. Workouts 😀
I love how real you are! I have had eating disorders on both ends of the spectrum and the older I get, I realize how much time I wasted counting calories and freaking out about food. You seem to live a very balanced life and aren't judgmental or condescending toward other people's choices. We need more people like you!
I did just recently start tracking calories but only so I can make sure if I'm eating the calories I'm actually getting nutrients or feeling sustained after eating. It was incredible to me how quickly 50 cal a serving turned into 300 calories because that "serving" wouldn't feed a small child. This is yet another way packaging can manipulate buyers by designing their servings to fit under a specific number so they can say it's a "low calorie food"
Thank you, Christine, for sharing what you eat in a day! Appreciate your honesty. I, personally, don't trust a woman who pretends they don't eat. Unfortunately I know several, who do just that. (And, thanks for including your sister in today's video!) 🤗🌻
I love your comments at the end about not counting calories and focusing on other things like how much you can lift or how fast you can run, I totally agree! I struggled with calorie counting and felt so much better once I stopped
Christine, honestly, I was Not interested in the workout videos, but this one inspired me. You are an amazing literally strong woman. I want to be like you. So I ordered a pair of sunning shoes.
I’m never at home when you post so I never get here to comment. Hi! I watch for your personality. I don’t have kids and I’m 32. Been watching since the beginning, I’m 100% working towards an active lifestyle like yours. I LOVE how your vacations are about nature and activity! Sending you and your fam positive vibes. ❤️❤️❤️
I don't comment much but I am loving all the fitness you are adding to your channel 🙂 You are super inspiring to me in so many ways being a mom of 2 boys. Thank you much Christine!
Hey, Im a handstand lover and over age 60 so I am super impressed! HS pushups are tough! I've never done one with that form, and it's impressive! I usually just balance on the wall and put a tiny bend in my arm. You came all the way down! I love it! I'm a thrifty person too, so most of your info I already know and do, but the workout got my attention!
I agree! 100% love fitness fridays!! Videos like this make me feel more comfortable doing more and like I am not crazy for pushing harder or doing two different workouts in a day! Those are always my most fun days too.
Oh my goodness. When you showed the chicken wonton tacos that you had from Applebee's, I knew I had to try them. We ordered from there tonight and they were the best thing I have eaten from a restaurant in a long time. They were so good. I would definitely get them again. Mine came deconstructed and I put them together. So much flavor. Thanks for the suggestion.
You inspire me Christine! I’ve had 3 babies in the past 2 years so I’m trying to focus on losing inches from my body (because it’s recommended for a woman to have a 35” waist so I need to loose a minimum of 4) and have no clue what I’m doing or how to accomplish my goals. My brain goes into information overload when trying to figure out the work out and balancing the food portion then not starving before bed. Thanks for fitness portion that you do! It’s fun to watch and try to do myself 🤪
You should bring your sister more often to Fitness Friday videos. You could do a video Christine cooking for a bodybuilder or Christine eating and training like a bodybuilder. I'm not a bodybuilder but I love to see their discipline and will power to keep things on track on the cutting phase, specially women. Thank you for all your content.
Love your comments at the very end. Such a good role model. ☺️ Honestly, that philosophy is so much healthier. (Focusing on what you can lift/ run than a weight).
Just addressing a few things with the diet cook. I see a channel that promotes a better life style but also someone who is open and honest and treats herself. A diet coke never hurt anyone!
My son went to the.big Ice Festival in China before he retired from the US Army as a Chinese Foreign Area Officer. The photos are magnificent! They even make skyscrapers out of ice! The festival is huge and may be the largest in the world with you-name-it made of ice lit up in many colors. We have an Ice Festival in my town every February with over 90 sculptures in front of our downtown buildings. It doesn’t compare to China’s, but it’s great for a small town.
Those wall walks and push-ups - WOW! I'm totally with you on 'meh' about regular Oreo flavors. My fave is the pumpkin spice, but those are hard to come by, darn it.
It sounded like you were cooking your bacon on the stovetop. Just wanted to share that I recently discovered cooking bacon in the oven. Comes out sooo good. But for me the best part is that it’s less clean up and no splatters. I totally relate when you say you’re lazy so I just wanted to share! 😆
Random story for you, that was brought about from your trip to the ice castles, that had cascades of ice. Those cascades reminded me I had a dream about a huge gorge, that had limestone cascading rock formations. In the dream my family was on a road trip, and I happen to see these formations, and discovered the gorge. We drive down this super winding road, and it keeps getting cloudier and darker as night was falling, and lights much like the ice castles started to luminate the rocks. So I decided to google gorge with limestone cascades, and Cheddar England/Cheddar Gorge appears, and it's just like my dream! It is also the place of Cheddar Man, bones of a Mesolithic period man. So some interesting information that I thought you'd like to know or look up, as your family loves to learn 😊
Thank you for your videos. I have joined Ibotta and am looking a lot harder for the deals at Kroger. I have bought marked down lamb, beef, and produce. Additionally, I picked up closeout Hummus. Best find Yoplait yogurt 29 cents versus 70. Kroger stores around here just do not have the quantities of markdowns your Smith store offers.
I really need to start exercising again 😖. Had pneumonia end of nov-start of jan then two week later my kids brought home Covid. My baby is also 19 months and I still haven’t exactly lost the mum-tum. 🤣 Blame UK lock down and having 3 small kids 😉 You both look so amazing. Definite motivation (when I relearn to breathe 😬) to get back at it.
All of the Daily Harvest meals need a boost imo. I like them because I can pack in so many veggies I wouldn’t think of putting together but they definitely require doctoring.
Love how goofy you guys are, so am I!! Lol. Those tacos look great! Ice palace how fun!. Thanks for sharing! I did my workout today as well. Strength training is key
I freakin' love the way you eat C! Mostly healthy & home-made with a side of occasional junk. Coke, oreos and restaurant takeout is the reality for most of us and on most days a well balanced healthy meal made at home. EVERYTHING IN MODERATION and no restricting. I can't eat any other way. Also, bacon is life and I don't even eat much meat but mmmmmmm bacooooon
I just love your thought process! That Ice Castle looks awesomely cool. If we are ever near one we will definitely be checking it out. It looks like your family is always having fun and enjoying each other's company. You and your sister look a lot alike but she really looks like your mother (as I'm sure she has been told just a few times).
I’ve been waiting for a video like this from you. So excited. I haven’t even watched yet but you are just so inspiring. All of your videos! Never miss one 💪❤️. Ok I am going to watch now just wanted to comment first
I nearly had a heart attack when he said Dr Pepper. NOOOOOOOOO My sister drinks Dr Pepper (poor girl is WRONG in the head!! LOL). One time, going through Mickey D's they gave me HER drink. You could have heard my blood curdling scream clear up to Canada. Gross. She was unkind and laughed. Trying to claw it out of mouth just remembering. 😂
I want to start a more active lifestyle: going out to simply walk the park, fun events, etc. But my husband isn’t that type of personality. 😓 I feel guilty going out with friends and doing activities without him.
(Not sure if this is still accurate, BUT,) McDonalds actually is/was the only company that is authorized by Coca Cola to use "extra" Coca Cola Concentrate. So if you are a soda drinker, McDonalds fountain drinks taste better because they are literally stronger in flavor.
I really enjoy a lot about your channel. One thing....you overcook your eggs. 😌 P.s. I'm actually a twin. So the joke was lost on me but it's cool to see your relationship with your sister.
"My twin sister" no you're right, could completely pass as twins! My sister and I are complete opposites! I'm brown hair brown eyed, she's blonde hair blue eyed!
When you and your sister did walk Walks her arms 👀 good! Bring her on more often. I’d like to know her nutrition. Eat for performance. I eat clean most of the time. I don’t deprive the things I enjoy. It’s the balance at its appropriate it’s. Everyone is different. Fitness Friday with both of y’all.
I stumbled on your videos and LOVE them! You're a hoot. When you called Diet Coke from McD's in a previous video God's nectar (or something close to that), I knew we could be life-long friends. 🤣 To your point, the best $1.08 you'll ever spend! Thanks for all of the great videos and info you publish! God bless.
We thought Christine was a beast, and then in comes her sister... Look at those arms! You two are doing great, hoping to see more of this.

AMEN to just focusing on being happy, fit and capable! Thank you so much for being a shining example.

I love your comments at the end about not counting calories and focusing on other things like how much you can lift or how fast you can run, I totally agree! I struggled with calorie counting and felt so much better once I stopped
I hit 50 in 2008 and refused to count calories again. I count activity
I've been anorexic for 35 years. I wish I could stop counting calories.
Christine, honestly, I was Not interested in the workout videos, but this one inspired me. You are an amazing literally strong woman. I want to be like you. So I ordered a pair of sunning shoes.
I just love how positive and kind you are Christine. Thank you for continuing to make wholesome and informative content. 💜
Thank you!!
@@FrugalFitMom you ain't your average mormon wife and mom are u 😸 say hi to speedy for me
Your sister looks so happy and healthy right now! Loving your fitness Friday content!
She is really doing well!!
These may be my most fave videos! I too order my McDonald’s Diet Coke with no ice!!!! Ice takes up vital space needed for more caffeine!
Exactly!

You completely crack me up. You are so funny and incredibly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your life and all of these great tips with us! 😁
Love your comments at the very end. Such a good role model. ☺️ Honestly, that philosophy is so much healthier. (Focusing on what you can lift/ run than a weight).
They had an ice palace a few years ago in Edmonton...it really was one of the coolest things I've seen!!
Just addressing a few things with the diet cook. I see a channel that promotes a better life style but also someone who is open and honest and treats herself. A diet coke never hurt anyone!
Would love to see you and your sister together more. Y'all seem like y'all are really close and would be a riot together!!
I'm with you on the mushroom texture, it's so weird! This fitness Friday content is the best part of my week, I love it!
Me too! More please!

You and your sister could definitely pass for twins!!! So nice to see your sister, I remember when you stocked her pantry 🥰
My sister and I lie and tell.people we're twins. It's a. Harmless lie, entertains us both and makes me 6 years younger.
Fetch rewards do sponsorships FYI. Swoops latest video is sponsored by them. Love your videos ♥️
Those wall walks and push-ups - WOW! I'm totally with you on 'meh' about regular Oreo flavors. My fave is the pumpkin spice, but those are hard to come by, darn it.

She does usually cook it in the oven, I guess it was because there wasn’t a large amount this time, so the oven is less efficient?
Wow!!! Your sister looks EXACTLY like your mother, of coarse 20 years younger...but still.💗 You go girls👏👏👏
Gonna feel like Elsa up in there😂😂😂😂 I freaking love Christine❤️

You rarely show the entirety of your arms, but they look amazing!
Blending your soup will get rid of the texture issue. Enjoy the creamy flavor.
Tip: mix the Athletic Greens with Pineapple coconut water- Sooooo GOOD!
That ice palace is so cool! Neat video, nice to see your sister!
Wall walks are my favorite!!🤩
Your videos make me smile every time. Reminds me I need to get out of the house more. ❤
I love your videos and how charismatic your family is.
Wow busy weekend. Ice Palace was amazing. I know you had a great time with sister. Workout!!!! You are one strong woman.
Thank you for your videos. I have joined Ibotta and am looking a lot harder for the deals at Kroger. I have bought marked down lamb, beef, and produce. Additionally, I picked up closeout Hummus. Best find Yoplait yogurt 29 cents versus 70. Kroger stores around here just do not have the quantities of markdowns your Smith store offers.
So nice to see your sister looking so happy and healthy 🥰
Yes!!!! To everything regarding large Diet Coke, no ice from McD's!
I love seeing how far you have come! Great inspiration.
It makes me so happy to see your sister so happy!! I am also LOVING fitness Friday!
I really need to start exercising again 😖. Had pneumonia end of nov-start of jan then two week later my kids brought home Covid. My baby is also 19 months and I still haven’t exactly lost the mum-tum. 🤣 Blame UK lock down and having 3 small kids 😉
You both look so amazing. Definite motivation (when I relearn to breathe 😬) to get back at it.
Oh my God I love the chicken wonton tacos! My applebees in VT stopped serving them so I figured out how to make them! Lmk if you want my recipe!
Wall walks and handstand push-ups…that is impressive! Those are way out of my wheelhouse. 😊 Also, the fountain at McD’s is THE BEST!
Nice to see another of my fav you tubers watching Christine. Enjoy watching both of you guys 😁
All of the Daily Harvest meals need a boost imo. I like them because I can pack in so many veggies I wouldn’t think of putting together but they definitely require doctoring.
So true!
Wow that ice palace was amazing 😍. The boys are growing up so fast!! Nice to see your sister/twin!!
Christine, your reaction to funnel cake is my exact same reaction!!! I love it!!!!
Oh my God! You are an amazing lady! God bless you. You get me motivated.
I appreciate the honesty
What a great way to start my weekend !!! Hello 👋 from Oregon
Idea for a video: sand and refinish your kitchen table!
Good Morning Christine and Family!!!
Love when you do these videos! The ice palace looked amazing!
What a cool Ice Palace! Wow! Your fitness level is Amazing! You go girl! 🏃🏼♀️👊🏻👍🏻🏋🏼♀️🚵🏻♀️🚴🏼♀️
You need to do more videos with her! You two are hilarious!
I'm the 23th LIKE this morning, that's a record for me, trying to be here on the first target! Have a nice day!
I work for Keurig Dr Pepper! I always like when you talk about our products! 😀
Completely agree with Applebee's Won Ton Tacos being the best!
Looks like I know when I'm getting tomorrow.
Love how goofy you guys are, so am I!! Lol. Those tacos look great! Ice palace how fun!. Thanks for sharing! I did my workout today as well. Strength training is key
LOVE THIS!!! Thanks so much for sharing. Hard work and strong character pays off. Thanks for the inspiration 💪🏼
Reallllllly into your fitness fridays!
Your smiles in the beginning are identical🥰
Such a healthy eating attitude

Chicken wonton tacos are the bomb! My Applebee's doesn't carry them anymore...so I'm jealous right now
The Birthday Oreo's are so dang good and they sparkle!
I just love your thought process!

I really enjoy a lot about your channel.
One thing....you overcook your eggs. 😌
P.s. I'm actually a twin. So the joke was lost on me but it's cool to see your relationship with your sister.
The chicken wonton tacos is the best thing on that menu!! Hands down!
Your sis is the image of your mother 🥰
"My twin sister"
no you're right, could completely pass as twins! My sister and I are complete opposites! I'm brown hair brown eyed, she's blonde hair blue eyed!
Maybe someday come visit Ottawa Ontario Canada’s Winterlude in early February. Elaine from Ottawa ON Canada.
Oh the memories of cutting before a show!! Fun times!
I am obsessed with your Moon Pie shirt 😍😍
Thanks for all your great content!
The Chicken Wonton Tacos are my favorite!
That's crazy...I had valentine's lunch with my daughter and grandmom today at Applebee's. Mind blown
I have an idea for a video, you should do a frozen vs fresh taste test and see if your family can taste the difference
Super proud of you! Way to go! Honestly think you and you're husband should do Amazing Race, just sayin'.
You are so awesome! Thanks for the inspiration!
Have you tried Wild Zora? Best vegan soups..lemon dill is so good.
When you and your sister did walk
Walks her arms 👀 good! Bring her on more often. I’d like to know her nutrition. Eat for performance. I eat clean most of the time. I don’t deprive the things I enjoy. It’s the balance at its appropriate it’s. Everyone is different. Fitness Friday with both of y’all.
Looks beautiful wher is the ice palace
Those power crunch bars are better when they’re frozen!
I stumbled on your videos and LOVE them! You're a hoot. When you called Diet Coke from McD's in a previous video God's nectar (or something close to that), I knew we could be life-long friends. 🤣 To your point, the best $1.08 you'll ever spend! Thanks for all of the great videos and info you publish! God bless.
Can you post a written meal plan on your website please?
I love the chicken wonton tacos. So good. My fav is the Oriental salad. Now I want Applebee's.
Yes! The chicken wonton tacos are pretty good. I usually order 2 sets as a meal or one set and then get French onion soup.
Fitness Fridays are my favorite! Love seeing your workouts! :)
Our McDonald's drinks aren't $1.00 anymore. I use to get a drink before going to the Dollar Tree, but that stores prices have went up too. So sad
