Healthy Pony Round 2 Treat yourself...here we go

[retrogradenova]

Name: Retrogradenova

1. I want to get myself on a proper daily exercise routine.
2.  My first goal is to start walking daily. From there I may add in some weights and other exercise tbd.
3. I'm going to give myself a small daily goal to motivate myself to walk everyday. Then there will be some mile marker type goals, like for when I start walking a full mile, then two miles, etc every day.
4. My little daily rewards will be watching a tv show with a friend, I've been trying to get him to watch it for a couple years, so every day I do my exercise completely we'll watch an episode. I still need to figure out a good reward for exercise milestones.

Wahoo welcome back

October 1st is almost here! I am trying to get an early star and I am failing miserably. Hahaha. Might be posting daily so I feel more responsible to show an example:) still time to sign up:)

[retrogradenova]

I started the walking part of my challenge today! I was slow moving, didn't sleep well at all last night so I only did 1/3rd of a mile instead of a full mile. Better to start slow than not at all though right?

[Crowning_Glory13]

I agree it's the slow then not at all...sigh I think you just but a fire under my butt retrogradenova.

Oh and in my defense this is why it's hard for me to knit...

So far I have managed to work out two days in a row, knit two days in a row...if I push it I could make it 3 days in a row. Today I started piano. Here is to making it to 3.

If I can do both knit and work out for 3 in a row I am going to reward myself with working a spa time with a few ponies:)

Yikes! I'm due for an update. I'm keeping up with my walking. 3 days a week. One mile. Even throwing out my back and major spasm by my scoliosis didn't stop me.
I got started on my new afghan. Alpaca for softness and cotton for weight. All purple!
I got some Halloween arts and crafts thought up for my daughter and got a few done.
I'm also making a little afghan for my dog.
We made brownies, pudding, muffins and cookies.
I also did a much better job with actually cooking instead of throwing together pre-made or ready to eat foods.
All in all, I'm doing pretty well.
I get a pony!
Oh, and yes, my budget worked this month! It's finally sorted.

On a different note, I'm traveling via airplane later this month and I'm so scared silly. I'm so glad my dog is certified and my daughter knows what she needs to do. I don't want her to miss out on fun things in life just because I'm broken. It's going to take every ounce of will power. I'll be mia the 22nd-25th afternoon.

Cg great job knitting! do we get to see the final result?

[Crowning_Glory13]

If you post Tak I will too:) great start. In words of Stick. "Broken but still good:) hope your back feels better. Safe travels..I have a hard time traveling. Give yourself plenty of time. Feeling like you are running late makes everything harder. I will keep prayers for you and your daughter.

I got a mini 15min work out so woot 3 days:) I knitted some too. So tomorrow starts day 1 for those tasks and I go to 4 days.

[Pokeyonekenobie]

I guess I ought to update. 

I have so far managed to keep up with my exercise regimen for the work program.  I've been trying to walk on the treadmill for a minimum of half an hour/day, 4 days a week.  When my schedule lets me, I try to do more. 

I have completed three art projects, which were birthday gifts for a friend so I haven't posted them on my DA page yet, but once she gets them I'll update it and show you guys, too (one was a custom pony).  I have two other projects done except for sealing the paint, which it's too cold to do at the moment out here.  I have four others started and hope to finish at least three this week if time permits.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Great start. Can not wait to see the pictures.

[NigheanRuadh]

I worked out Sunday and this morning, and I've done EFT at various times.  I haven't done any creating in a few days, though.  I'll have to see if I can do some knitting or work on the quilts that I'm making for my children today. 

The house isn't looking good at the moment.  Late Sunday evening, we discovered that mice got into the pantry, so we had to move all the vulnerable food out of there until I can get some mouse-proof storage containers.  At least, it seems to have been a recent invasion; there's not a lot of mess or damage.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Yikes Mice!  So many of us do yarn work...that is awesome. I will post some pictures...maybe some pattern sharing:) I need a new blanket idea.

[Tak]

I'm looking forward to pictures Pokey!

NigheanRuadh if you line any container with tinfoil it will keep out mice. It doesn't work on rats, but mice won't chew through metal.

Cg my dad travels frequently, so he's helping me to be prepared.

CG are you sure you're not my mother-in-law? You have her cat! She's a lovely cat

Knitting seems hard, I kinda know how to crochet, but knitting seems tougher.

It sounds like everyone is getting of to a great start.

@NigheanRuadh: Mice! I hope everything goes well for you with them. I've been hearing scurrying sounds myself lately but my husband is in denial and insists its the house settling.

Anyways, today is "get Nova's sleep cycle back on track" day! I was good about getting up and exercising on Saturday but then spent half the weekend asleep, unfortunately it was the half that had the sun out. It's been messing with my plans to exercise. So today I'm, lots of caffeine, gonna sleep like a baby tonight!

[Crowning_Glory13]

I totally could use sleep...night sure why sleep has been an issue and so is my stomach.

Knitting and work out are in. I do need to do more time in the work out department. This will help my eating healthy task. I do a food and workout tracking and for the most part I am doing good. More workout would make it my goal calorie for the day.

Took pictures of my latest project. I will post later.
