Healthy Pony Motivation Round Sign Up

[Crowning_Glory13]

Great to have you again kiwi:) the scoring is your perspective. I know on nights I work double shifts or ave a theater performance, I may not get to any goals,  it I stayed healthy (no pig out on Snacks ) or i posted a lositive comment. Its only one to two goals met, but i did what i could do kn a day. That's a 4 or 5 because I only had time to gets those thing done. Choosing to make bad choices Its a 0 to 1. No being to hard on oneself.

I want to do this for the first time, maybe knowing that I'm doing my best alongside others will help me out?  I'll do my best!

What Does a 0 day look to you?
A day 0 for me is a day when I'm so defeated I'm doing nothing but moping around the house and watching Netflix with a bag of chips and crying about it.


What does 5 day look to you?
A day 5 for me is a day where I put a lot of work into both my personal work and work around the house / work at my job. I feel accomplished and happy and I'm not turning to food.


What can you do or use for motivation?
I'm going to utilize my calendar and this thread to keep on top of things! If I'm doing well, I'll consider rewarding myself, but I have to be honest with my progress!!!

Tell us your dream
To be more productive, but not so productive that I neglect my needs.

That is a really good point, I didn't think of it like that. No need stressing about not getting things done when the day just doesn't allow for it. Positive thoughts!

[Crowning_Glory13]

Yes!!!! My goal is to get more positive thinking as we go on our journey:) its more of what you were able to do in a day verses doing it all in one day and feel overwhelmed:)

I had a great start on the new month. After not working on my art at all during March I just spent almost two hours working on a vector. I have a dinner to attend today so I thought if I was to get anything done today I needed to begin early so I worked on the vector while having breakfast and once I started time just flew. The part of the graphic I worked on today wasn't even fun, just a repetitive tedious segment, but I stuck to it deciding I needed to finish that segment today, and I did!

I'm not going to rate the day just yet because I don't know if I'll maybe have time to do some more artwork in the evening but so far so good! Just wanted to post here to say that this kickstarted my motivation. 

[Crowning_Glory13]

That is wonderful news!!!!! It's fun how this for um makes you feel empowered to get started!!!.

Last night my body hurts from all the cleaning I Did! Now on to knitting.

Happy Easter:)

Happy Easter everyone!
I've gotten off to a good start, rated today a 4. Did some reading, played the guitar for a while and cleaned the house. Also started tracking my goals in a nice notebook with stars on it and sliver-edged pages, so it'll encourage me to write in it and keep on top of things. I slept in til midday and stayed indoors; even though I'd allowed lie-ins at the weekend, that seemed to be a bit cheeky on the laziness front, so that's why today isn't a 5.

2018 Goals:
1. Reach a healthy weight
2. Create four 3D models
3. Complete the ADF Dedicant path
4. Organize the apartment

Motivation Round Goals:
1. Lose 30lbs through diet and a regular exercise routine
2. Complete one 3D model and display it at the Pony Fair
3. Organize the apartment and host a (very) small party

Day 0:
I do absolutely nothing towards my goals and the bare minimum towards my own self care, mostly because it's required by society and I'd rather not get fired from my job. Bills and all.

Day 5:
I leave work proud of what I've accomplished and put at least 30 minutes towards each of my personal goals, or dedicated effort towards the one with the closest deadline, knowing I'm in a comfortable enough place on the others that I can make up the small delay.

Motivation Rewards:
1. Match.com membership
2. Cosplay pattern
3. Ogham set

Dream:
I want to generate additional income through my art, to build up enough savings that I can cover any emergencies without worrying that I'll lose my home or have to choose between health care and food.


I'm starting off by making sure my work meals are made for the week. I've got the parents' anniversary this evening, but I'm going to do some tidying before I go and schedule some time for 3D practice later this week. Most of my craft time has been spent finishing up some cross stitch gifts.

Sigh my body hurts. I finished 2 knitting projects! One was not desired by the person, so it is for sale. My first knitted item for sale!! They wanted purple instead so the sunflower idea I had:)

Now I am off to knit a trim on a pillow, and learn my lines for a play I am in.

Good luck this round, everyone.

I'd make goals, but then I'd have to stick to them. haha.

Having family illness problems at the moment and am not in the right frame of mind to focus on "me" until my kid gets better - but when I do start again, soon hopefully, here are my goals:


What are your goals for 2018?
Maintain weight/exercise regime
Lose a little more weight (I have gained in March), get stronger, tone up for the summer.

What do you want to accomplish in the Motivation Round of Healthy Pony?
Falling back into a healthy routine (it has fallen apart at the moment!!)

What Does a 0 day look to you?
Family healthy - and me starting the day with a work-out, water and wholesome breakfast, clear mind and focus!

What does 5 day look to you?
Keeping up the routine, not watching any naughty snacks winking at me 

What can you do or use for motivation?
Look at my short-sleeved clothes and think how much better my arms will look in them when they are healthily toned!
My new, skinny jeans - I am too scared to try them on for now but hope to do so after the 3 months!

Tell us your dream:)
Being healthy, fit, mid BMI and wearing nice clothes and STAYING like that! 

Fun stuff -
complete a chandelier renovation. Fun sparkly, sparkly!!

Today gets a rating of 3; I made the effort with my goals but it was a bit of a struggle and I don't feel all that accomplished.
I got up early and had every intention of going out until I saw how bad the weather was, so I stayed indoors instead and made a little more progress on the drawers. Got naffed off with that pretty quickly and just settled for the few patches of wood I'd managed to unveil under all the old varnish.
Practised the guitar, kind of, but it came out more like aimless noodling. Tomorrow's goal is to sit down and work through a lesson first, then go over familiar things.
I got plenty of reading in and made a conscious effort to give it my full attention, making note of when my thoughts wandered off and pulling them back to the book.
Hopefully the weather will be a bit nicer tomorrow so I can get some fresh air!
