Healthy Pony Here We Go! LAST CHALLENGE!!!

Welcome to the party:)

Post Merge: January 29, 2017, 07:55:06 AM

Today is the final day to sign up. If you have to make adjustments to sign up, that is perfectly fine. I have hosted healthy pony multiple times, and it seems less intimidating. Not to say it works for everyone. We start fresh on Jan 30. I will be giving you weekly challenges. You do not have to do them, but they are designed to try and help you achieve your goals or try something new:) I would like a weekly post if I can. Life happens, we all understand. If you have done the challenges please post them. I like sending out gifts to those who help keep this going. When it's just me posting...I kinda feel like a looser:( we can have a great 3 months. In my experience this has helped me a lot. I used to constantly get junk food. Big money waster, fat builder, and emotionally hindered me. It took a long time, but now I don't sneak junk food. I might crave it, but maybe once a month. I sometimes can ignore it! But each time I posted how many days I did not get junk food was so uplifting. Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to give you my success story:) good luck and please post away. This is a safe place:)

Well here we Go! I tried to walk today on my break...about 10 minutes in I got super cold. 22 degrees and windy so I got 15min total.

Challenge #1 start working on those goals, and tell us how it's going:)

Start off easy:)

[Loona]

so far I'm going semi-well: today I've made a trip to a supermarket in my lunchbreak and bought fruits (and also some non-sugary snacks) for snacks, now I have about a week's supplement of fruits at work, so this is fine. if I could keep on doing this on Mondays I'd be all set on this goal
I did wash my teeth in the morning, and I've done the same all last week on office days, which is good - the problems start when I'm working from home or have a day off, because while I can fit in a second round of teeth-washing in my morning routine when I get ready for work fine, when I'm at home things just work differently, and I forget better than nothing, I guess. I'll have to try to keep up with the morning "sessions", and try to come up with a reminder for days spent at home.
no workout yet, at all  I planned to go to a sports store after work and look at yoga mats (we have parquet in our rooms and thus the floor is pretty hard and cold, I would like something I could lay down on), but I had to do shopping on my way home and time went faster than I planned, so I did not have time for it in the end. hopefully tomorrow...
(the supermarket did have a small selection of yoga mats which I did check out, I loved the price but not the colour-selection: all were coloured, and I would like black or grey. dang my colour preferences )

[Crowning_Glory13]

If you don't like the color, you won't like using it:)

No work out for me:( piano is a no go. I have the worst head ache.

Loona you are off to a great start:)

I did my 10 minutes of exercise today. It was harder than I thought to do 10 minutes.

So far the meal thing is going well. I'm late eating lunch, which could snowball into snacking if I don't watch my time better. Off to make a salad! I've also been packing up a huge pony order to weigh for shipping, so the fundraising thing is going super well.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Woot we are off to a great start.

I did leg strength training on Sunday and I did some very low impact cardio tonight. 

I'm still new to strength training but I'm definitely recovering allot faster.  I'm 5 classes in and previously my body has felt dead for days after.  I'm a bit sore still but I don't feel completely beaten up, lol.

I've got off to kind of a patchy start; for the most part turning negative thoughts into positives has been going alright but jobseeking is throwing a massive spanner in the works. I lost a lot of sleep last night worrying about my social anxiety holding me back from securing a full-time job. :/ Keeping up with the guitar and meditation are going alright, though.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Last night my head ache turged to vomiting, answer pretty much sleeping. I made it to work, but not 100%. My dream in life is to work from home. I got myself organized so this might help me to end strong.

Kakenterpnis- way to stick through the pain. I am a baby when I work out. If it Hurst I don't want to do it. Keep it up:)

Taproot- I saw some positives in that post:) way to go. Jobs are hard. I have been fired and out of a job for months.it is very hard but it will work out. I see it so much on healthy pony:)

[Ponyfan]

I hope you're feeling better today Crowning_Glory 13. I choose tea today instead of Coke even though I really wanted a Coke and did my 10 minute workout today.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Nice job PonyFan:) and thanks for the kind words...not 100%, but making progress.

[Kiwi]

Everyone seems to be off to a good start.

I didn't join this time as I don't have any super specific goals, and really don't have a reward system for it. Just some things to work on/get better at, but if they don't work then they don't. But I love cheering everyone on and seeing how others are doing with their goals, so I'm just here for support.

Hope it's not too late to join?

I have a 36 inch waist and I'd like a 30-32 inch waist.
I'd like to tone up
I'd like to increase my energy levels.

I'd like to do this through diet and exercise.

I wi reward myself by strutting around in my black rubberised jeans, might as well get as much wear out of them as I can before I'm 40

The snags are I'm super stressed with job hunting plus short of money. I've been cooking from scratch and doing home exercises and moderate cardio for a couple of weeks now and although I have toned up I still have a 36" waist.
