Healthy Pony Motivation Round Sign Up

[Kiwi]

I need to post more on here. I tallied April up to a 52...not horrible, but could be much better.
But I have been making progress - I keep planning towards the bazaar, and all of the flat work done on the 2nd mailbox card holder order (just need to assemble it now). I did completely slack off a few days in April pretty bad (even not having any posts going out on 2 separate weekends).

52 is not bad for your first month Kiwi:) but now you have a goal to beat!!!! I know you can do it! Nice progress on your mail box. We all need a break on things from time to time.

May 1 I ended with 4. May 2, 1 point . I had a double shift and thought I needed mire food to not be hungry all evening...sigh choose junk food. I gave myself 1 point as I did walk around a football track for a bit and was on my feet for my second job.

Today should be better for me. I am trying to get heeded to eating less, but eating things that make me feel full. Water intake is good. I average 32oz a day. I do want to bump that up to 40oz if I can.

Post those totals! Then you know what to work on, even if you lost track estimate it:) then you have a goal!

I gave myself a 30 for April. I lost a lot of tracking, but that is about 1 point a day...yeah effort:) now in May I am going to beat it!!!

If you beat your monthly total you get closer to winning a prize from me:)

Mailbox is finished, woot! I'll post pics soon (buyer gets first peek of course). I'm giving today a 5, it was crazy day at work but I still finished the mailbox after thinking I'd flop and not move.

[Crowning_Glory13]

I can not wait to see the mailbox. Same day I would live to do a craft swap with y ou Kiwi:) just need to get my life back to order.

Did not do anything towards my goals, but no bad choices, so that is a plus. 3 for me. I resisted alot of things and just needed a night off.

[Crowning_Glory13]

I almost bought junk food last evening!!! I DIDN'T DO IT!!! So as a bonus and working from 7:00am to 10:30pm I am giving myself a 5!

Whew. I get a nice week if evenings off after this weekend, so I hope to catch up on knitting AND prizes to be sent out

[Kiwi]

I'm counting today as a 5 - delivered the mailbox, and an impromptu stop at Value Village netted me a perfect display stand for the bazaar, for $5! (and it's still early, so maybe still get some crafting done, but still a very win day)

[Crowning_Glory13]

Woohoo kiwi! Now we can see pictures!!! I am down to 164 pounds!!! 6 pound down is a great deal for me. I have to remember this and not eat so much junk food.:p

[Kiwi]

Way to go CG! 6 pounds is great progress.

Yes, I need to get the pics up online, and then I will post (hopefully tomorrow). Yesterday continued good after I posted - we went out to see Infinity War, and on the way stopped at Michael's and Walmart, so I could get a frame and photo album for my table.

I'm giving today a 5 as well. I cleaned the display thing, pulled out a tub to start collecting things in, and prepped a bunch more. Oh and a rough sample diagram of my table setup. Pretty productive day!

[Crowning_Glory13]

Sounds great Kiwi. Walked today and finished some knit projects. Hope to post pictures soon:) I say 5 is deserved:)

I'd like to forget the latter half of April happened.  Depression has been really hard on me. 
Have to do some soul-searching to figure out what to do with my future, as finding a job in my previous profession is proving to be something I truly don't enjoy.  

Then garden time came so I have been mostly outside with a shovel and lots of dirt! 

[Crowning_Glory13]

Sometimes we think we will like a job, and once in, not so much. I am in that boat. 3 jobs. 2 I dread going to and 1 I love, but can't completely pay the bills. I keep looking and hope I can land something.

Today has been hard....trying really hard to not binge today:(

[Crowning_Glory13]

I came close yesterday. I did get some cheese. Healthy than my normal junk food, so 4. I am walking extra at work and knitting like mad. I have some super late projects that need to get wrapped up.

There might be a move in my future...like this summer, so I have started selling to save up. Someday we will have 1 place to call home....trying to smile.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Well I have been a terrible host:( I can’t even keep up with my posts. I have another job change. My school job was not supposed to be a sub position, but it is. So I am don’t June 5th. On a good note I sent out applications and got a sales position working with selling vacation rentals. My work is all on commission, so that is a bit freaky for me, but I only need 1 sale a week to live comfortable. I have to move to another area for it, and will start June 8th. Not much time. So I am going to be limited.

I hope Sunday I will have all my prizes from a March contest finished, and a knit commission finished so I can ship Tuesday. After that I won’t be taking anything on until the Fall. Really want to focus on this job. Working match, if I get 1 sale a day For a week, can pay my bills for 3 months and have plenty of funds left over. This is all speculation, so my focus is to learn the job and work as much as possible to reach that point.

Sadly my binging got bad and I am back to 170:( found a phone app to help out. I hope it works. It tracks my steps, so I feel a bit better and not so lazy when I realize I have about 10,000 steps a day. Any point to better confidence will help. I will try to post when I can, but with a move and a new job, I don’t know.

Sadly this will be my last healthy pony, until my life gets some stability. If anyone ones to star on of their own, even in the middle of this one, go ahead. I feel this one has just fallen apart, and with me not able to have t8me to post, it might be time t9 just throw in the towel.

Good luck to you all. My heart and prayers are with you as you reach your goals.

Don't give up Crowning Glory. You can still make healthy choices when you can even if you make a lot of unhealthy ones too. I think it's also okay to take a break from focusing on healthy choices when you have a lot going on in life. I have been absolutely terrible about posting this time. I feel like have no energy after to work left to think about healthy habits.

Hi! I haven't been on here in weeks. My cat died and all my routines came to a halt after that. I didn't feel like doing anything but things I really felt like doing or things that really needed to be done so I've barely touched my art for weeks.

I'm sad to see the challenge not continuing but I'll try to keep my art routine up by myself. Thanks for the motivation this gave me. This challenge really worked for me for the first month until I lost my dear kitty.
