Healthy Pony Here We Go! LAST CHALLENGE!!!

[Artemesia's Garden]

If you're in constant pain it affects your positivity, there's no doubt about it! I'm sorry about your injuries and your studio Crowning Glory.

Well done on your weight loss Minty Socks!  That is so impressive.  The thing I have wrong with my knee is called IT band Syndrome and I think if I lose weight I will be able to do more without it flaring up, which is a really good motivation.

Well done on your walking Ponyfan, you seem to be making a really consistent effort so far which is great. You must be feeling good about how well you are doing?

I didn't do core this week.  Someone is upsetting me and no actually two people have really upset me in the last week or two and I'm feeling a bit fragile.  I did go to a yoga class last night and we did some core work, however. I found it hard to relax though.

Thank you all. Seeing everyone working hard and succeeding really does make me happy. Sorry for those who struggle, but it can only get better:) I have to remind myself that too.

I'm glad I'm keeping the walking up but worry that I might start to slack off a bit.  I'm also a little down today but still did my walk.

You can keep it up Ponyfan. You may not go as long, but trying each day will keep you productive. I had my cry, so I am good to get back on the wagon. I am knitting more and I have not lost any feeling. I am finishing up a cute project and I can not wait to finish and show it off:)

Sorry for the delay our power was out for 4 days.  There's nothing like taking a sick day, to play Zelda and then losing power at 12.  It was very cold but I managed to work out in the dark, lol..  I've been keeping up with working out but I let my studio get messy.  So I took a few hours and re organized/ cleaned it up.  I'm a bit of a messy person so having a nice and organized studio is a bit of a task.  I've noticed having a clean space helps my mental state.

Oh my gosh what ZELDA game?!!!! My hubby and I are huge Zelda fans:)

[kakenterprise]

That's awesome I'm completely sucked into the Zelda universe right now.  I'm playing zelda breath of the wild, it's all I want to play.

Hubby and I are saving up for the switch and that game! Knowing another fan loves it...I should love it. Here is the main and most I mordant question. Do you get to play with Epona a lot? I have been obsessed with riding the horse since Epona was introduced...the last one with the bird made me sad:( still liked it though.

[Ponyfan]

Thanks CrowningGlory_13. My legs have been hurting a lot but I still got my walk in.

They don't give you Epona but you can unlock it with an amiibo.  That being said you can catch wild horses, my favorite one so far is blue and I gave him a mohawk.  You can ride them throughout the entire game.

Got another walk in today. I hope I can keep this up.

Well done Ponyfan!

I have been sleeping a lot, probably too much to be honest. I don't really feel like maintaining my life outside work at the moment.  I live on my own and feel like I have no real incentive.  I get a lot of exercise just due to my lifestyle.  I do a yoga class on a Thursday but that's about the only evening activity I have going on.  I'm hopefully going to start therapy on Wednesday after work and maybe a driving lesson too.  So that means I will have something three nights per week. But I keep losing sight of why I'm bothering at the moment.

There is always a personal hobby we can help you find. I love to knit so that keeps me going as I can make gifts for friends and family, or even sell for extra pony cash. I have also picked up coloring books kids to adult and challenge myself to finish them. It calms me and I see the pretty pictures and go...wow I did tbat:)

You have some great things, and you bother because you are an amazing person. You might not see it...but I do:)

Thank you Crowning Glory,  I really appreciate your encouragement.  I feel a bit better today.  I'm trying to keep my energy levels up and stay upbeat.  I have loads of hobbies to be honest.  I've used every trick in the book to deal with loneliness in a healthy way and sometimes it just gets on top of me.  I'm heartbroken at the moment.  I found someone I thought was special but he isn't interested in a serious relationship.  I split up with him three weeks ago, we had been together a year.  I went to see him on Sunday becasue I felt lonely and I missed my friendship with him.  Then I felt bad.  I can tell he feels bad too.  That is basically the problem.  I don't want to be around other people at the moment so I am getting very lonely.  I know I shouldn't see him precisely because he's the only person I want to see and that's unhealthy.  So I need to go through a period of being very lonely until I can accept that it's over and get past it.  Sorry to turn this into a WYP but I don't want to post a separate  thread about this, I feel so sick about it I just want to deal with it quietly ish.

I did some leg raises and core this evening.  Not sure why I found the motivation.  I think it's only because I'm planning to look good when I see him again in a month or two.  So I'm clearly not getting over it at all!

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.
