The Healthy Pony Contest! NOW to NOV 1st

[Crowning_Glory13]

I have been super busy...not as much towards my goals, but towards a positive outcome:)

I've been slipping a bit. Not with the mealtimes/bedtimes, but with my exercising. I've probably only done it 2 or 3 times this week. I probably won't do it today either, because my mom is visiting (seems kind of rude to throw a yoga mat down in front of company and say 'hey, excuse me for a few minutes while I do some butt lifts!')

I also haven't worked on any of my custom projects this week, but I'll forgive myself that one because I got so much done last week. But I did get 2 ponies cleaned!

The hobby room is about halfway cleaned. The baby clothes are toted up, and you can see the floor now. Today when my mom is here watching the twins I will tackle my son's outgrown clothes that are covering the bed.

Allover, I'm not doing too terrible with my goals. My husband and son are gone for the weekend; camping with his family in northern Michigan, so I'm really looking forward to a little peace and quiet (hard to do with twin girls, but my son is really a handful and he's the main instigator when it comes to starting fights, so he's out of the equation!). At least I won't have to cook, and I won't have so much laundry piling up for the next 3 days.

Whew that sounds like a handfull... hehe:) great to hear you feel positive at your progression. That's a huge step towards any goal is feeling you are achieving.

My first week wasn't so bad... but I feel like when my chestnuts fall out of the tree, I'm gonna be tempted to eat them.

now that I'm adjusted, it's time to start to calorie count / eat more protein.. which.. I'm not looking forward to.

I've been okay at exercising and eating better, but I haven't been able to get around to painting.  It seems like every time I schedule myself time for it, something else comes up.  I'm getting a lot of chores done and I made it to my annual physical but I haven't finished any art projects that I've started.  Maybe next weekend I'll be able to do something since I'm working this weekend.

I got a couple of shots that made me ill for a few days. I'm feeling better today but didn't do much but make dinner. No boxes have been unpacked or moved. I did get the shelving unit I wanted to turn a closet into a pantry and put that together. That's been the only thing though.

[Crowning_Glory13]

I made it through another work week...that's the best I can say. It has been crazy time as new managment came and replaced some...I might actually like my job. Who knows.

My goal this weekend is to get organized. I need to be practicing as I sing for church again on Oct 18. And I just added 5 new students this week...I need to be on my game:)

October is almost here! You got a little over 30 days to make it to your November goal!

CHALLENGE: Look at what you have done. Have you reached your November goal? If YES WAHOO share it with us! If not share your plan!

Random Draw will be done before Oct 31...so get posting for those wings!!!!

Well I haven't done anything.  And I don't know that I'll be able to get anything done because I have my parents' dog and he insists on being let in and out every 5 minutes.  He woke me up at 1am so he could go sniff around the yard.  If he annoys a skunk and gets sprayed he's staying outside regardless of how cold it gets at night now.  I may have to put him out on Saturday and then go upstairs and ignore his whining to be let back in until I finish something.

[BlackCurtains]

I'm off to a good start today! I moved both my shelves into their respective closets (pantry and craft storage) and started hauling bins into the bedroom to go in that closet for now (it's mostly tchotchkes that don't have a home yet ^^ ). I got my cleaning supplies put away. I cooked myself a nice breakfast too.

My other plans for today is get all the extra craft stuff on the shelf, locate boxes that belong in the bedroom and move them, and vacuum.

I've been really good about not ordering out. You have no idea how much I wanted to get pizza last night But I resisted and made something else. I planned ahead to make a family recipe today so I'm not tempted again. I will say though, I'm gonna need some Chinese food soon, haha.

No because my goal really relies on time..

I just gotta keep doing what I'm doing. I should carb/protein count but I'm too lazy. but my chestnuts are now falling out of the tree. I'm not sure what to do about that. I probably will have to count if I want those chestnuts.

[BlackCurtains]

I didn't get around to vacuuming today but I did unpack 7 boxes and get all my craft stuff put away I made dinner, ate way too much and I'm ready for bed

[Crowning_Glory13]

There is still time you never know what you can do to reach your goal...hoping to get wings up on ebay tomorrow!!!

[LadyAmalthea]

My goals are mostly ongoing, such as the keeping up of the school bedtime schedule, but I've done better with it than I ever could have expected, so I'll give myself credit there. I haven't been exercising as much as my goal required, but it's been because I'm accomplishing other productive things, so I'm not going to get too down on myself.

My hobby room is coming along nicely, and I've pretty much worked on my customs to the point of needing hair, which I'm not ordering until I meet my big-spending goals by Nov.1st. Still need to start on my son's castle project.

I haven't made any Ebay purchases since I set my goals, unless you count buying a pair of baby shoes for my 2-year-old, which are desperately needed, and were half the price that they would have been had I bought them new. But I didn't buy ponies!

Edited: I meant to say 'non-spending goals', not big-spending! Changes the context a bit, haha. Dumb autocorrect!

[Crowning_Glory13]

That's the best!!! We all want to reach our goals and be perfect but in reality we are not:P but it is how we look at things helps us. Progression is better than giving up.

It took me over 2 years to get over my junk food addiction. I do relapse but in short I look how much better I have done and say yeah! I am lucky if a relapse happens once every  3 months.

I have not been the best..except singing and wings. I am slowly catching up. I wint be 100% wings by Niv but I am happy where I am at. I know I need to practice more piano, but time and now a work related injury has made it difficult.

I feel everyone is trying and doing a great job. I will be picking winners Oct 18. So all you have to do is send me your address by PM before that. Each post is a random draw number. So get posting for extra numbers. If I dont get your address you are not able to win:) I am gone on vacation the last week of Oct so I want to ship by then and the winners get their wings within that time:)
