POUNDS FOR PONIES - We are on our way! Sign-ups closed.

Only 1 point for today.  I don't know if it's the cold, the fact that I've helped my mom move, then my best friend, and now my mom AGAIN in less than 2 weeks, or the exercise, but my hips have been giving me a lot of troubles.  The exercise bike was always easy enough for me, but I can hardly even walk today    God, injuries suck!  I may have to re-think my exercise plan if the pain doesn't start calming back down soon.

But I had bran flakes with banana slices for breakfast, yogurt for lunch, and chicken with a veggie stir fry for dinner.  I'm down about a pound actually, but since my weight fluctuates a lot during the day I'm not sure if it's a real pound or if I just picked a good time to weigh myself.

2 points for me. 1894 in cals...so loving the spark people. I have it on my phone and it makes it easier to track.  I also feel really depressed when i have something junkie to put in....i did the how many cals i should eat a day to reach my 130.....well they say its more like 16000...the way i am that is going to be way to hard. If i drop that low i will break this as soon as i am done with this. I dont want that...i want to stay in a good track so i am going for 1800 to 1850 for this week. Maybe if i keep the tracking up u can see where i cut calories. I got my work out in right before bed...i got home rarly and my hubbie wanted to cuddle the whole night with a movie...so wont pass those things up. No dance but still got my work out...i am also revamping my plan.

Workout 3-4 reps twice a day. 15 min piano plaing (yes spark people claims this is a cal burn....just a small one) and taking 3000 steps a day. (Found my step o meter)

Cal goal of 1800-1850 drinking 3 glasses of water a day

Sounds like a lot to do in a day but i am already seeing a change and i want to keep it going. Even if i dont make 130. Having my life style improve is all worth it!

2 points for me yesturday!  Did my water, no cereal for breakfast, had fruit which is a big deal, ate mostly healthy ( I made cookies yesturday for everyone... they are high in protein which is good, but they are still cookies).  Did my workout too!  And cleaned house a bunch.
 
I'm so crabby lately.  My kids are driving me nuts, the farm paperwork I'm supposed to do is something I dread and have been putting off for awhile (it's impossible.  I should be able to enter the info and have the year end done in about an hour, but it takes 3 or 4 because the info I'm given is wrong or not something I can translate and enter in, and then I spend the next few hours trying to fix junk.  Aaargh!).  I can't handle the whining my daughter is doing ALL THE TIME!  And trying to train her out of it seems to not be working.  I don't want to exercise (even though I know it will be good for me, and I'll feel better when I'm done).  I feel down.  It's not been a good last few days in my emotional department.  And I wont get to see my husband all day today, which is a downer for me.
 
I should probably make some lunch for myself and the kiddos, but I dont know what to do.  I have a meal plan, but I wanted to boil eggs and forgot to.  I guess I could do that now.  Why is that so hard for me today?
 
I'm glad I don't live in town right now or I'd be super tempted to drive to the nearest fast food and grab a bite for us there.

sabathamk... I'm with you on the crabbies!  I was crying a good portion of the morning this morning!  Don't worry, things will get more positive... for us both!

The thing that cheered me up today... HORSEBACK RIDING LESSONS!  Woot!  I bought a Groupon for stables near me and had my first lesson today.  I took lessons YEARS ago, when I was a Girl Scout, but this was my first time riding English!  I did really well with posting... which is good, because that, honestly, scared me a bit.  I'm honestly thinking about adopting a horse, which is why I wanted to do lessons.  Does anyone on here own a horse?  If so, I'd love to bend your ear a bit with some questions :-)
At the very least, I sponsored a horse today with a donation :-)

Tonight I'm subbing Yoga for a friend of mine.  This is my recovery week, so my workouts are a bit easier.  I plan on getting to the gym early, though, and doing the treadmill for a bit... just because I feel like it

[Ponytails]

I've been slacking on the exercize due to illness (still doing yoga and walking, notsomuch the gym), but keeping the nutrition aspect up and guess what?  I've lost 5 lbs!!!  (Admitedly, I technically started Jan 2 2012 with this so I sorta got a head start...).  But still...yay!

Keep it up girls!  We can all do this and get healthy TOGETHER!!!!

[Crowning_Glory13]

1303 for cal.....i left my lunch at home...and if i went out i would have had junk. I just couldnt fight it...so i dran water and tea until i got home for supper. I got both my work outs in..and 5300 steps....yeah i so undershoot that. So 5000 steps or more. Woot 2 points today.

Mmm kay - I know I've missed a couple of days again so I'll summarize them here.

Monday: Another on the go day. I had an interview in Dallas (3 hours away), so I didn't have much time to exercise. I did get my water and food in but just barely. So 1 point here.

Tuesday: I work all day I did figure out that I can keep tennis shoes in my car though and walk on my lunch when it's nice out. (I ended up walking in my heels!). I also walked the dog when I got home that evening. My food was great too, managed to get everything in. For some reason I plan my work meals better than my day off meals! So 2 points here.

Wednesday (today!): Overall good day. I got a LOT accomplished that I needed to get done. I ate pretty well today (though I did have 2 of my home-made soft pretzels - it was worth it!). Got the water, fruit, and veggies too. I wasn't able to squeeze in formal exercise so just 1 point here today.

Oh and I weighed in today - Lost 5lbs! =)

So my total points are: 11

[sabathamk]

Ponytails and Surfstar!  Way to go on loss of 5 pounds each!  That is awesome!

Psyknife, horseback riding sounds so much fun!  I would LOVE to go horseback riding.  Never took lessons, and the only times I went were at Bible Camp way back in highschool, and ... well... I think the last time I rode was highschool!!     
 
Blech.  I managed it, but I didn't want to exercise.  Did my TurboJam and my 30 min walk.  I also walked more than that, so really happy with that.  Food wise, did what I aimed to as well (water - 6cups, no cereal for breakfast, lots of fruit and veggies)!  I have had days with less sugar than today, but it was good still, as I wanted more, and cut myself off!  Yay for willpower to cut off!  Haha. 
 
I've decided I'm going to reward myself when I reach good points!  I decided 25 points and 50 points would be good numbers.  So... hopefully soon I can get myself some pony goodness! 
 
I wonder if my crankies have something to do with the full moon we had recently.

Barely stayed under my calorie count and had a wonderful lunch with shake and bake chicken and steamed vegies with a little cheese on them.  And got my workout done too!      And even my husband jumped on the elliptical last night!  He had to loose a little weight to make it under the weight limit.  So yay!

Alright ... here's the last few days for me.

Tuesday ... no points.  Female reasons.  DX

Wednesday ... 1 point!  The eating has gotten a lot easier to stick to.  I get severe pain around this time, but I tried to work out anyway ... it was a no go.

Today ... 1 point again, for eating well, and another potential one for the workout I'm about to start.

Everyone looks like they're doing well!  Maybe it'll get me more serious about the exercise.

I went over my calories by 1 but I didn't think that was enough to pentalize myself for it so I gave myself  a point for calories yesturday but I didn't exercise so no point there.

Feb. 9th (today) ~ 1 point
Stayed under my calories today.  But I'm going to bed early tonight to try and get my sleeping habbits back to normal.  Lately I've been staying up all night!     I've got to fix that.  So I didn't do my workout tonight.  Though I should have.   

[hlbmlp]

only one point today. Had a "party" in class and drank a bunch of cherry coke, and didnt get my water in.  :< Exercised though!!! <3
