Healthy Pony Here We Go! LAST CHALLENGE!!!

[Crowning_Glory13]

Ooooh human spa day...how nice:) I can not stand unorganized or unprofessional interviews. It makes me feel that if you are that ill prepared how uncoordinated is the job. That's why I am working to be my own boss. I have a high level of professionalism and if it's not met I either get lazy or frustrated. Glad you did not put all your eggs in one basket, taproot.

I have gone traveling over this weekend...so not an opportunity to walk, not near a piano, but I took my knitting...Sadly I took only the 3 colors of yarn I needed....yep I need a 4th color...and I had to special order this color. It is not my week:p

Taproot I've had some awful interview experiences, it's so frustrating that they just waste people's time and effort like that.Glad you're looking forward to your treatments.

It's so windy, cold and grey here! Oh and it's just started raining.  So I made chutney and flapjacks today, neither of which you could really call healthy! I'm glad I managed to do anything today, I just feel so lonely.  But my friends asked me over for Sunday lunch tomorrow so I'm happy that I'm not at a loose end all weekend. I think I'll watch a film and then get up and about again and do some yoga and wash myself and some ponies.

I started a new set of workouts on Friday.  It drained me completely.  I thought I was fine, so I  went shopping and ran some errands.  I had a protein shake and later I snacked on a bar.  By about 8 I still hadn't eaten dinner, I lied down and passed out till 6:45 the next day... I felt sick all morning (super off all day).  Won't be doing that again, lesson learned.

When you say passed out do you mean sleep I hope? That does sound extreme.

Muller husband gave me some great advice this weekend. "1 fattening meal will not make you fat. 1 light meal will not make you skinny."

Makes me feel better when I have an off day....or this case an off weekend. I did not pack enough yarn for the weekend, so once again I am behind.

I took a longer walk today at work. Proud on that process. Finishing break with knitting, so far so good.

Challenge time! Challenge #5!
Try to do each of your goals 3 days in a row. This is harder one. Needed to pump some fires here:)

Walk...check
Crafts....check
Piano...let's hope so:)

OK stoke my fire!

1. I have a 36 inch waist and I'd like a 30-32 inch waist.
2. I'd like to tone up
3. I'd like to increase my energy levels.

So far I have gone from a 36" waist to a 33" waist. So I'm about half way there.

I should point out that I'm hardly doing anything, just a little but it's consistent.  I'm not avoiding high calorie foods but I am avoiding trans fats and artificial sugar so I'm avoiding takeaways.

I just got back from a run and did some leg exercises at the end.

Number 3 has been scuppered by too much sugar and caffeine this week.  So more to work on!

Tomorrow I do core and Wednesday another run, meantime no processed sugar!

Let that fire Roar! Way to go on the half way to 30-32. That is awesome.

Well done on your crafts and walking! Hope you find some music to be inspired by

No workout for me today but I did choose tea and water instead of Coke twice today.

I came up with a whole new bunch of ideas for more plastic canvas items. Eek! This will keep me busy. Need more canvas

Kiwi I can not wait to see..I need pictures:)

Way to go Ponyfan on making a different choice. I get cravings too, so I feel you!

Did my walk today. Got some knitting do e...but no piano. It's hard. I work so early in the morning, and most of the time my 8 hour work day turns to almost 10 hour day. They never let me out on time, and they get mad because I have overtime pay. But 8 hours with about 12 toddlers is exhausting....but each time I post my piano gets closer and closer to a priority.

It's snowing and...I do not feel like walking. To be honest I am sad and a little scared. Last night some of my fingers in my right hand lost feeling....they are functional, but I can't feel. So drawing, cutting, and even typing is difficult. I can not knit due to it. I need touch to play piano...I did try this morning and I couldn't do twinkle little star:( I was inspired this morning. Hopefully I can get feeling back soon. I am putting my hand in a brace....my hope is detaining any doctors visit. I had a gift for my mom...but now I can't finish it for her birthday this weekend:(

Well done on your walk! Is there any chance you've been overdoing the knitting? I hope you are resting it so it will go back to normal soon.  Otherwise it may turn into an RSI (repetitive strain injury).  Eep that's just not fair. I used to find working with kids so emotionally exhausting.  Maybe try this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JnleAjgV9I
