Healthy Habits For Ponies! Take 2! ~Update last challenge, pg 99!!

Oh and I decided on my pampering. It might not happen this week but I'm saving up to buy a new monster high doll I just have to decide which one....

[BrightSide]

for you Bright SIde...  I wish things weren't going so badly for you!  D:  You haven't let anyone down, kiddo.  You're trying your best...and you continue trying your best.  And it's certainly not your fault they can't get their @*#*(&$( together at the clinic.  >P

aw brightside i didn't know it was that tough for you 

thank you both. <3 Cubby, it's so silly.. :c we were supposed to hear back from them today and there's been no message at all. It's all so worrying, as I'm starting to get sick.. so we can't hang on too much longer.

to you as well. I'm sorry it doesn't appear you are going to get the help you need for a little longer.  Maybe you could go back to one of our weekly challenges (3?) and recite the things you like about yourself and your body.  It seems like you need to love yourself again so you can appreciate all of the really fantastic things about the body you have been given.

thank you, lovely.. I can't stand my body at all, especially since it's so shaky at the mo' trying distraction when possible, otherwise just having to pull through as much as possible right now.. At least I am assured there should be better times ahead..

"Silly" is a bit mild, in my opinion.  I understand they might have their policies and all, but they still need to...I dunno, change the policies, organize better...something!  >P

Hubby and I are going on a 'date' tonight.  It's the first time we have been out together in ages so I am really looking forward to it.  Because he was hunting on my birthday weekend (not his fault, the trip was postponed from the week before) we decided to celebrate tonight instead.  We are going to the casino for a meal and then having a flutter on the pokies

I haven't done a lot of exercise today but I've cleanded the house and really watched what I have eaten.  Steak and chips should not put me over my day's point limit. 

[hyenacub]

Aw sounds fun.  I have joined a new LARP roleplaying game.  I love those so that works for "pampering". 

[Tribble79]

Very hectic week but by Monday I hope to be back on track with my eating and exercising... This week didn't get do much exercising and didn't keep track of food.

[BrightSide]

I've got a positive! There's a negative too, but I'll come out with the good thing first. It's much more exciting.

My happy:

Last night, I finally got the chance to talk to a friend who I've been too shy to get into a deeper conversation with (I admire her, she's a lovely girl).. we both have the same ED specialist, and briefly went to the same school together. It was *amazing* to speak with someone who can thoroughly relate, even down to giggling about our specialist and the things she comes out with

She said it helped her a lot as well, as before we spoke she found it really difficult to talk about her eating disorder openly and had questions about things which had previously gone unanswered.. It was so great for both of us to feel less alone, and we're now closer.. we've found support in each other too, which is great!! We're planning  to hang out at college, as our friends are actually pretty much all mutual. Making up for lost time.


The tiny bit of negative:
It's more of a shocker really. I've just decided to calculate the calorie intake I have in my daily snack bag, and I get approx 310 calories a day (when I don't have ensures which is pretty much always).. and I actually burn off at least 150 calories of that during the day by walking around, cleaning, aerobics, wii, yoga, whatever I end up doing.. O.O

I really hadn't realised it was that low. The thing is, when you have food which is cut into small pieces (it only doesn't overface me if it's cut up small), your body thinks you're eating more than you actually are. With the combination of diet coke (which is my vice / addiction) and sweet squash (marshmallow or raspberry ripple.. it's divine), I tend to feel pretty full with this amount of food.. Which even I can see is bloody ridiculous.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Brightside....that is so wonderful! finding a friend is the best way to over come hardships. You two will make it to the end together:)

Hmmm maybe putting more smaller pieces in your snack back...can that trick you into eating more? I know I am way off on this subject but it could help

[LeighAnnApanites]

Hello everypony!

Brightside, I'm so glad you've got a great new friend to talk to. Sometimes not feeling alone can make all the difference. I hope all this up in the air not knowing what's going to happen or when gets sorted out really soon. That's worse than just about anything as far as stress goes. Big hugs to you! Keep up the great work.

I went out with my husband for dinner Thursday to celebrate our anniversary and I ate gigantic amounts of not very good for me food (Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuits . . . evil good) but it was planned, so I'm not beating myself up for it. I've been drinking more water and eating pretty well overall. If I can just get exercise more regularly, I'll be doing great.

On that note, I promised my daughter we'd go outside, so I better get off teh internet and do that before it turns into a sauna out there. Much Love! Have a beautiful day!

[egyptiondragon]

i bought a couple things for my collection mostly blind bags but pappered myself

[kiwimlp]

hyenacub, LARP looks like a lot of fun.  I had never heard of it until one of the men on Beauty and the Geek was a fan.  I'm not saying you are a geek at all though, lol.  Actually I am a bit of a geek myself in that I collect action figures and cards from my favourite Sci-fi shows 

Brightside, I'm so glad you have found someone you can talk to.  It's also great to hear you've had a bit of a break through with your calorie count.

I had my steak and chips meal at the casino last night, and then went halves in a chocolate sundae with my husband.  It was sooo yummy and we had a great time.  I'm hoping to go out for a run/walk later today if the weather holds

[hyenacub]

to Bright Side!  That's awesome you have someone who totally understands!

Kiwi...I am a total geek! lol

[kiwimlp]

^  Well, in that case then... *high fives from one geek to another* 

I have had a very good day so far.  I went for a run/walk and managed to jog most of the way.  It took about 35 minutes to cover the same distance that I used to walk in 50 minutes. 

[ZettaMomo]

This week.. hasn't been that great for me. Mostly just 0 and half point days. Just haven't really been feeling it..
But I managed to get a 1.5 days yesterday because I found a replacement copy of a lost DDR game for $2 and I ate decently.  I got these new ready made smoothies while shopping with mom yesterday. You just keep them in the freezer and when you want to drink them you add your favorite fruit juice and shake it up. They are delicious! My mom had a coupon for them so she got a few, then when she checked out they gave her a coupon for some more! It's a nice alternative for pop since I've been going back to my old habits.
I've been struggling a little bit, but I think I can still get back on track. 

[Yurusumaji]

I haven't been keeping track, so I wasn't sure how good or bad I'd been doing. So this morning I decided to weigh myself. I LOST 2 MORE POUNDS! Yay!

TBH, MFP was pretty cool in some aspects, but I'm terrible about food when I'm counting calories. I'm always thinking about it, so I'm always thinking about food. This just makes me want to eat more. I eat way less when I'm just focusing on only eating when I'm hungry and I tend to do better overall when I'm not dedicating so much specific thought to it.

I finally go in for my infusion on Monday, which will get me back on my feet and back on my DDR pad!
