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

[Gingerbread]

Not done great foodwise over the past couple of days, I have eaten crisps but only one packet not an entire multipack And I'm STILL not drinking cola!!! I am so unashamedly proud of myself in this respect, I never thought I would be able to give it up

Three positives yesterday -
My dog Scooby doesn't have tumours and he isn't in heart failure
My dog Scooby doesn't have tumours and he isn't in heart failure
My dog Scooby doesn't have tumours and he isn't in heart failure

That is such a major positive it needed mentioning three times

[Crowning_Glory13]

Yeah for puppy!!!!! I love my pets so having news like that is wonderful:)

Yuru you can cook for me:)

Food and work out has been there but not as well as before. I am just so nervous of the audition...i just mindlessly make bad choices:p today is the day i find out....so i hope its good news.

I am going to try and respond to post like surfstar:) with the days getting closer to the end..i think we all can use an extra cheerleader:) feel free to send pm to me:)

Just had a horrible realization. All I want to do is pig out, but I'm resisting the urge.... ;~;

Positives...I can't think of any right now ;~;

[Crowning_Glory13]

MonstarNomNom - I know that feeling. I have been doing it all week. I pigged out so bad yesterday I just feel sick with myself today. Try milk or hard boiled eggs. Sometimes when you grab food that has more filling or heavy feeling it can satisfy the pig out. Pigging out on fruit and veggies are awesome:) You might also be thirsty:) Drink some water:)

[MonstarNomNom]

Awww, thanks sweetie! I will try that It's so hard keeping myself from goodies :< I am going to the store so I will for sure be getting some fruits and veggies I can just go to town on. lol

I did kinda less than the best yesterday on eating, but since I avoided my main craving (ben and jerry's ice cream!) I'm pretty content with myself. I didn't get much exercise though.

Oh and I pampered myself a little extra and a little late xD I ended up buying a swim suit. It's so cute! The top fits perfectly, which is a miracle to find in a regular department store because my girls are big. The bottoms are a little tight, but the fact that they're smalls and I can get into them at all makes me happy. It was a sale item in Macy's so as you would expect, they were the only bottoms left in that style. One medium top and one small bottom! At least I can stop borrowing my cousin's swim suit now.

Lemontwist I have the big girls issue too. Yeah for avoiding temptation.

For those of you who followed....I did not get my dream role. I did get a large role and I am happy about that...but I have worked so hard for that role.

Defintiely things to be grateful for here, I just haven't listed them all.  There was the gorgeous rainbow I saw a few days ago after a mmuch needed rainstorm.  There were the Perseid meteors I saw two days past the peak night.  Our car broke, but we have means to fix it...thanks to a friend and our insurance....big relief.  C:

3 Positives for Today (I need this today, it has been a very annoying day!):
1. Hubby took me doll-hunting, against his better judgment.
2. Had a delicious dinner that required no work on my end (not healthy, but it was good).
3. My Detroit Lions are winning!

This week has been my lowest points week to date! I've struggled with exercise due to the weather and had two bad eating days.

Saying that, today I got back on my horse after turning her out for winter.  She was really jumpy and spooky at home so I stuck her on the float (she walked right on, much to my relief) and took her out to my instructors to use her all-weather surface.  I was so worried, but right from the moment I got her out there she was really good!  I lunged her before I got on and although she had a couple of minor spacks, she was pretty faultless considering she had not been out for so long.  I finished up by taking her for a short hack along the road with another girl who was out there

This is definitley my positive for the day because I am so happy right now.  On another good note, I was so nervous before I went that I ate barely any lunch so I am way up on points for the day too

[Crowning_Glory13]

Yeah hearing some great success stories. Glad to see people pop in from time to time. I have started to lax because with no audition looming over my head i feel i do not have to do as much. I did get a part in the play. I am grateful for that. There was a major roll i wanted so bad i dyed my hair for auditions. I am still bummed. It will be hard listening to some sing the songs that i have wanted to sing on stage since i first saw this show...but i will be happy and keep my tears inside:) i am proud that i have not drowned my pain in foos or drink.....tends to be a trend.

I'm utterly confused as I checked on two scales yesterday and apparently I've dropped to 6 and a half stone. O.O I haven't been that since I was ten.. It was 6st 12 on thursday, my body's so weird.. :')

Anyway, it's not so bad as EDU on Monday.. we've got everything organised, well prepared for it.. I'm slowly cutting down on caffeine over the weekend so my head doesn't explode from going cold turkey (totally banned from diet coke at Rivendell!!), and it's actually not been as hard as I'd feared.. for now.


My positives before I goooo..

Thurs:

- Got to see my friend Sarah, which was lovely.. we walked around town and then went to the beach. I enjoy spending time with her as we have so much in common, and she's one of the people who have stuck by me regardless.
- Clinic is a positive as I really appreciate seeing my specialist. I gave her a notebook that I'd bought for her in town (as she has a habit of doodling all over my notes ), as a token of gratitude for her support.
- I got a message on tumblr from a fellow sufferer.. it's both saddening and comforting to meet more people in my situation, and hopefully we can support each other now.

Fri:

- We saw 'Brave' and it was amazing!! What a touching movie.. Both mom and I really enjoyed it.
- Cuddles with the kittycat :3
- I went out with my fringe back. I've been self conscious about not having my fringe for years.. but last night I put it up and wore my hair off my face and apparently it looked 'pretty' (according to my mom.) :')

Sat:

- Shopping trip Retail therapy heals the soul.. got some lovely clothes and my student id photo sorted out. That's something we don't have to worry about any more!
- Whilst out shopping, we saw my friend Nicole from clinic / the ward.. and she looks so healthy!! I'm so happy for her, and proud of her for being so strong.. our specialist told me that she's having amazing progress and you can really tell I hope that I can follow her lead.
- Costa. Oh, I love Costa. <3


As for tomorrow, I can predict the positives.. It's great that I'm so organised as we won't have any last minute panic, I'm going to ground myself emotionally to prepare and remind myself that I can do it, and I'm also not going to exercise tomorrow which is something (despite being so weak I've still been continuing with it, and it needs to stop).


Thank you to everyone for the wonderful ongoing support.. I couldn't have asked for a better network of people to be accompanied by on the journey to getting healthy. I am wishing everyone infinite courage and support for the remainder of this (and for the roads ahead!!), you're all doing so well, and these steps ahead truly do count.. Even if I can't be with you on the thread I'm still here in spirit!!

[Crowning_Glory13]
