Healthy Pony Summer

[Ponyfan]

I walked over a mile today and chose grape kool aid instead of Coke.

Ponyfan great job on the walk, sounds like a great start.



I thought i'd do some spring cleaning today, trying to decide if I should let go of some clothing I've been holding onto over the years.  Instant regret I can't fit into the shorts or pants.  I think it's time to donate them and start fresh.

My FitBit says I've almost walked 3 miles today. I'm doing heavy lifting while gardening (removing grass for a new garden bed) but I'm a bit tired for formal exercise right now. I need to focus on one room rather than just cleaning willy nilly as I normally do. I'll be on target if I do so.

Today is a 3/5. Not perfect but still decently good progress. 

Time for some Tylenol and stretches.

No walk at work or at home. It's pouring rain. I did knit at work and at home. So there is a plus. I have only recorded on the arena. I have a notebook and calorie counter I need to tabulate....sleepy. I did play piano 30min today. I did on Sunday too. 2 days in a row is a huge deal for me. I did no work out. Now I need to get prizes and a swap box done...i am so unorganized

I give myself 3/5 some good and some bad.

Great start everyone. Thanks for posting:)

YOU can still sign up. So feel free to join.

Day two of diet. I'm grumpy.

But seriously, it's really weird how many cravings I've been having (I was recognizing this before the diet). Can't for that to stop.

May 1. I didn't walk, but that's okay since I take 3 days off of walking per week. I did, however, hop on my bike and go for a 3+ mile ride. I got my chores done. I didn't review my memory stuff.

So I'll give myself a 3/5.

Today, however, I did review my verses. I even started looking over a new chapter.  I did my chores, too. I'm going to go on my 6 mile walk shortly. Since it's two hours until lunch, I should probably bring some of my snacks (apples, dates, nuts) and my water with me.

I'm pleased that I also started a new batch of water kefir yesterday. I had done it in the past, but last fall I fell out of the habit and how to throw my kefir out. I hope I can get the kefir grains to grow and multiply this time around, I've had bad luck with that. Such a healthy, pro-biotic drink. ^_^

EDIT: That walk was a bit of an adventure. I encountered a "micro storm" about 2.5 miles into it. I saw this one large dark grey cloud coming in my direction. Since I had my backpack with me, and I carry my foldable travel umbrella in it, I could keep my head dry. I was a bit salty, though, especially about that 2 minutes of hail mixed in. However, it lasted about 15 minutes and was over. A few minutes after, my playlist started playing "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone."

I sure am worn out now.

Holy cow....a storm HAIL....now that's a super star there. Cravings get me everyone. I have to watch or I will binge. I want starchy pasta so bad.

No work walk, but I got to walk after work with my husband. No mini work out. I did play piano for me that is 3 days in a row :shock: so I did reward with opening one of my pony toys. Going to end the night with knitting.

I would say 4/5 keeping up piano is my biggest achievement.

Today was a 3/5 for me. Almost 3.5 miles walked today and for exercise I mowed the lawn (push mower + Tennessee "hills") but little to no cleaning done inside the house. As a plus, I have a much larger area to hoard plants in (hubby's term for my garden) and less grass to deal with. Tomorrow's task is to get burlap to protect seedlings and some outdoor fabric for a custom cushion.

I need to look up if the downtown market has started back up before I conk out for the night.

Well done") I would say 4. Sounds like a lot of hard work

I give myself a 5/5 for May 2. Today is a rest from walking day. I'm waiting for the kids to get to school and the husband to get to work and then I will start my day officially.

[heathersmoo]

I'd like to sign up!

Goals:
1: Walk 5 miles per workday to occur between the 8.5hrs of my shift
2: Weigh in 148lbs or less by 7/31.  This will require me to eat my daily diet M-F with a possible small treat on weekends, no extras during the week
3.  Drink at least 1.5-2L water per workday
4.  Knit one mitten set or hat per week to donate to charity



To catch me up on the last two days:
5/1
walked 2.45 mi
ate 564kcal
drank 1.5L water
started knitting a new hat
4/5


5/2
walked 4.46mi
ate 559kcal
drank 1.5L water
no knitting
3/5

So happy to be apart of this this time.  Last time I just lurked on the thread

[Crowning_Glory13]

Glad to have you:)

I meant to sign up for this before.  Whoops!  I don't care if I win a prize I'm just hoping that having the accountability will help keep me on track.

Goals
1. Walk a minimum of half an hour on the treadmill at least 4 days a week.
2. Get room cleaned up so I can function in it.
3. Get art projects that I've started finished.  Seriously, I have 13 projects I can think of off the top of my head that I've started and need to finish.  But my messy room is keeping me from having space/motivation to work on them.  I'm hoping to have them all done (or close to it) by the end of the month so I can start the next batch of things.

May 3 = 5/5.

I got my chores done. And some other necessary stuff too. I reviewed my memory verses and even started on some new stuff. Despite it being a "rest" day, I had to get some groceries. So I walked 3.2 miles. It was glorious too. Soooooo sunny! and warm! Makes me almost giddy.

Today is throw in the towel..work was hard and long, husband has an event...i made no time for anything. It happens.
