Welcome, Kiwi!
I'm a bit sore from poor posture/being up so much yesterday, so it's good that I counted that as exercise. I'm waiting on my mom to pick up some avocados so I can have avocado toast. Mmm...avocado toast.
When I get bored enough today I'll clean up my desk/sewing area.

happy thursday everyone  
hope everyone has been trying their best to stay on track!
its almost friday, woo-hoo!

I hyper-extended or sprained my elbow a few weeks ago... that has made getting stuff done rather difficult. 

Let's see... I've been meal planning and marinading lots of different meats.  I made cookies! 
I've been working on doll clothes and sewing and scrap sorting...
I had to take apart and scrub the dishwasher because somehow it filled with MOLD.  EW EW EW EWWWWWWWWWWW I have no idea what happened but it was beyond gross so I had to suit up and go at it with gloves and vinegar and a toothbrush and all.
DH has 80% of the shelving done!  YAY then I have to pull SO MUCH STUFF out of the shed in order to get to the books.    It will totally be like... my birthday.  Oh wait that IS at the end of August LOL
I have been practicing my Spanish... not as much as I would like, but I get frustrated when I make the same mistakes over and over again.  I know the verbs, I know the nouns, I can spell, but OH grammar! 
Sadly food keeps getting more and more pricey around here, so keeping those costs down hasn't happened.  I think it went up to $190/person/month...

DH is really encouraging me to apply for community college so that I might be able to get a degree, FINALLY.  I do really love teaching kids to read, so I think I'll be going into Early Childhood Education.  As much as I also like seniors and hospice care, I don't think I am strong enough physically.  Embalming school is REALLY pricey!  LOL  I know I am soooo eclectic.

Yippee. Good news for me!

I had a doctor visit, and I learned what my weight was. (I ditched the scale when I moved). I am at a very healthy weight, and I don't need to focus on losing anymore. ^_^ My self image is still low-- that's why my goal is focus on being happy with my body. 

That said, I'm not a dummy. I know I have a bit more fat on me than I want, so my big focus is less fat and building a bit more muscle.

@lovesbabysquirmy
I'm just curious since you do meal plans-- do you freeze any of your meals?

>__<; Mold in the dishwasher sounds like one of my worst nightmares. yuck!

Can I still join Healthy Pony even though I’m a couple of days late?

Absolutely!

I'm trying to whip my sleeping schedule into shape for the semester and I completely ignored my alarm this morning. Bad! Bad!
I may want to consider waking up slightly earlier to let myself get into an eating mood, this morning I was up for 45 minutes and only ate a clementine.
We'd love to have you join, Ponyfan!

After 4 days of gaming (hello, new Warcraft expansion, consume my life for a bit), I've finally tired of the obligatory junk food. Sadly, with my sore back, it's still really hard to roast my preferred veggies and potatoes. Nevertheless, I shall persist!

Mom and I are switching cars back tomorrow, to see if I can handle driving a stick. We'll see how that turns out.

I'm standing more at work and halfway to my daily water goal, but I can still feel the strain in my lower back. I'll look into some standing stretches to see if there's something I can do here.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Yes. Join healthy pony at anytime. Even buddies get issued after the 20th:) I have been stupid sick as no it's my weekend. So I am behind. I will catch up as I rest it out today.

[tailrustedtealeaf]

Ate two slices of avocado toast with lemon juice for breakfast. My stomach hurt for five minutes or so, but it's chilled out and I don't have to worry about getting any food in for a few hours.
Sleep schedule is really lagging. Set an alarm for 7 am and fell asleep after... I work early tomorrow, so that will help me get out of bed.
My new computer for school should arrive today! As long as someone is in the house to receive the package. I'm starting to get the pre-semester jitters only because I've been on break for about 4 months.

I found some time on a Saturday!!!

My new job has really been an emotional rollercoaster. It's been hard to feel confident and valued. I have never worked at a job like this, so it's hard to keep myself in check. Right now I am at a high, and need to keep a level head, because it can change on me fast. I am at 159!!! I lose one more pound and i have 5 outfits to try on! They are ones that got to eat once and then gained;( I use them as happy goals, and ones that help me motivate.

Fun tips: Water intake. I drink warm water as cold makes me way cold. I put myself in the habit of waking up and drinking a cup. I also fill a picture with fruit and water so there is flavor, but no sugar.  And I eat fruit after I finish the picture of water.

Tip: every one who is posting here is making a big step forward. Just typing what you want to reach keeps it in your mind. It may not be today, tomorrow or even this year, but posting keeps it in your mind, and someday it will just click.

Buddies will be coming out about the 20th. If you would like a buddy please post again:D I have gone back through the sign ups, but I don't want to miss anything;)

Piano for me needs work. I need a bit more activity, but I feel ok about my start. Keep up the great communication! I will introduce the contests for prizes again too:)

I use a lot of bribery to keep me motivated, so here it is for you too;)

I haven't gotten my weekly goals done, but I've prepped all my canvas so I can start power stitching tomorrow.

Did some stitching at work today and convinced Mom not to change cars. Honestly, I don't think I'm up to a stick shift yet, considering it's still hard to get in and out of the Scion.

Tomorrow's the cello lesson I couldn't make on Thursday. I am so over this bad back thing, but it's only been 2 weeks out of (at minimum) 4. I am going to batch cook tomorrow, though. I miss my roast veggies and I think I can still use the oven if I'm way careful about bending.

Welcome, CherryTreats!
I'm doing well at eating breakfast. My stomach didn't hurt terribly this time! Perhaps I'm getting used to it.
