Healthy Pony Here We Go! LAST CHALLENGE!!!

[Artemesia's Garden]

BIG HUGS splits are so hard. No worries on where you post this. This is about being healthy. If that means you kind of let some issues out to feel better, this is the place to do it:)

Sad time is really all that helps with a split. If I could go cross country I would pop in and say hi. It is ok to be sad and cry. Just remember you are awesome. Try a silly movie. It gives me some help when I I feel lonely...sometimes even married can have lonely moment:)

Work is kicking my butt...so I have been a lazy butt:please not a great choice. Oh well.

Thank you It's so exhausting working with kids, I don't know how anyone does it! I would go swimming but last time the chlorine set off my asthma.  Did you have another go at that yoga channel at all? I find it's good for my energy levels.  I'm completely pooped today and the weather isn't helping! Sleet here.  My friend is coming over later so I will have a quick tidy up after work and gee myself up a bit for her.

Have not done any more yoga. Working with kids is hard, but I do enjoy moments. I have been puked on and pooped on and more. But just seeing a child struggle breaks my heart. So when I can give them comfort or even teach them new things it just warms my heart:) and many of them call me the pony lady. My purse is full of them. I bring a few for them to play with:) I would be less exhausted if my staff stepped up and not undermine Wachovia other, and my boss got organized with what training I need. I take control of my stuff so I ask for what paperwork is needed. They tell me no and then a month later threaten to fire me because I do not have the training done. That's the struggle:please but I have a job. Just got to work on my dream job.

I have an update. The scale says I've lost ten pounds just by getting more exercise

I'm glad you love your work with kids Crowning Glory and i hope your colleagues don't act like that all the time.

Ponyfan that's amazing!! I'll measure my waist again soon and let you all knowx

OK this girl has been lazy...come on healthy pony peeps...start posting:) hahaha. That is for me too:)

I did get some days of walking in. No piano:( but a lot of crafts:p I finished my present for my mother in law. So I am happy cause her birthday is in April! Working on a second project, and I am starting to prep my knitting patterns for sale:) these are patterns I have made up:) they are my complicated patterns that for me to make I would charge $50- $60. They are awesome, but very time consuming and attention to detail. Hence giving someone a chance to just buy the pattern and they can make it:) not sure what to charge yet.

I finished a huge lot of Flutter pony wings today:) I do not make replicas...I have no idea how. I make my own glitter designs. I have them up on ebay. The new ones will be there either this evening or sometime in the week.

Fun story. I did a holiday swap with an amazing pony friend her. I totally feel I was not very good on my end. So I have been planning to make a goody bag for her. Well she contacted me and wanted to do the same. We send each other PMs from time to time. She also mentioned that she wanted to stop eating so many sweets and loose some weight. So we are now on a 6 week swap:please we are contacting each other once a week to tell each other about our week progress. I am going to add a goodie to her box each time she has a positive thing in a week. It's kind of nice to spread the healthy pony vibe. I also told her I better do something super good to get a pony in my box:) yeah rewards.

Sorry this is long...but I have not been posting well. We have just about 1 month and this round is done!!!! So here is the last challenge. PUSH YOURSELF!!! Yup make this last month count. Let's work overtime:) we can do it!

I am making a goal for myself for you. I have been failing at piano. But I found Coloratura song. I want to play this song, and post me playing it for you guys:) not sure how yet, but I will figure it out. Hope I can reach this goal.

I do want to send out some goodies to my participants. Just my way of saying thank you. If you want to get a thank you...please pm me your address:)

Sorry so long:) ok let's push ourselves to reach those goals:)

It sounds like you are doing some really great things Crowning Glory! Sadly my waist is back up to 34" but I have had a lot of changes recently and overall my body is firmer.  I want to get down to 30" waist so I think I will make a real effort to cut sugar out of my diet for the next 4 weeks and see if I can get it nailed.  I really want to get back into those Donna Karan 1980's jeans before a party I'm going to on the 22nd April!

[Crowning_Glory13]

Just keep pushing, just keep pushing...what do we do..we push through! Haha I am hyper today:)

[Ponyfan]

I walked 2 miles today. That's very nice of you Crowning_Glory13 to send out thank you goodies.

Good luck everyone. I'm hoping I can keep up the walks. I missed two days due to bad weather though. I am also not doing good on cutting back on extra Cokes like I should.

Got 2 days so far in walking, and progress in my crafts. Now I just need to get on piano. Time is almost out for me:)

[Artemesia's Garden]

Good luck Crowning Glory!

I managed no cake or biscuits yesterday but I did did have half a bread roll with honey and a banana.

Today I ate a cinnamon swirl for breakfast which is like a sweet pastry, but that's it so far for sweet things today. I have just made chicken curry for dinner and I'm not sure how 'afters' will go.  One thing about splitting up with Colin is that I really don't have much of an appetite.

You are looking on the bright side of a hard situation so that is always a plus. Hang in there. Life will be what you want when you least expect suspect it.

Walking is going good. I wish I could find my foot reader thing so I can try and push myself on steps taken. It's raining so no walk today. Knitting going very well. I gothink the ok from hubby as my favorite yarn is going on a huge sale:) I use it in everything. Just wish my sparkly yarn would do that:) I have not done piano:( sad that this whole time, I have only played once. I do have a possible piano studio set up, so that will put a fire under my butt hopefull. I have been rewarding myself with opening EG minis. I bought them on sale, but hid them unless I started working better on my goals:) not sure what I will do if my piano practice ever suceeds.

Last night I played for 45min. I started and quit after like 15min. My kitty loved it, but I had heard phones so she just snuggled. Later on my father unlawfully went out side, and husband was out of the room. So I jumped on to the piano. My kitty sat next to me and purred the whole time. I never realized how much she loved it. My dog came over and started singing with me. My husband even came around and  and u did not fall apart for 10min. That was a record. I just might have to figure out how to have my kitty around to get me motivated.

Thank you!

So glad your kitty is motivating you to play piano, that's super cute!
