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

[Marlin]

Hee hee... last night I asked my hubby if he wanted the super dark chocolate or the yummy macadamia milk chocolate with his evening cuppa. He gave this look, to which I replied... healthy habits doesn't have to start until June 16th!!    He then gave me a sheepish grin and we both went for the macadamia - so impressive that he is taking this so seriously!! Looks like he is going to watch what he eats with me.... awwww!!


But I have been very good so far.... in fact, I spent all day yesterday slugging and mulching through our titanic sized heap of vegetation yesterday (feeling it now though... if that ain't a work out, I don't know what is!).


Surfstar - have to say, you've been awesome keeping track of everything and everyone so far!

I'm doing great today on portions... need to work out yet. blah so hot out today.. waiting for the sun to be close to setting to go for a walk!

Went walking downtown today! Haven't eaten a lot and only had half of my soda. We skipped the elevators and used the stairs while we were out walking. Had a lot of fun and got some mild exercise in.

I'm a big grazer type of eater, so I've been trying to work on eating 3 solid meals and a light snack or too. So far so good. My parents insisted on taking me to the Chinese buffet today, but I limited myself to one plate of food and some egg drop soup.

*waves to Marlin*  Looks like we have yet another thing in common!

Today hubby and I went on a big walk through the forestry and up a really steep hill.  I then came home and took my horse out for a hack.   I haven't snacked at all between meals and have stuck to my 'diet'.   

Now, the scales had better come to the party!

Another one to join the guilty party

I'm currently living on Cookie Crisp cereal, blackcurrant squash and baby food. Not good. At all. Ah well, I'll start pushing myself more after a nice chat with my lovely dietician. :]

Well yesterday I got off to a great start! I took my boyfriend hiking for his birthday and it was a serious work out! I was dying. Lol xD We went up and down at least 1000 stairs. Hahaha

And I'm sorry I haven't message you yet, Surfstar! I want to, but I just have no idea what I want as of yet! Haha I'm going to the pony convention in Orlando and I have nooooooo idea what I'll find and purchase from my wish list. Would it be okay if I sent you my wish list afterwards so then I'll know exactly what I want? Haha Thank you so much again for doing this! You are a rock star!

And did someone say tshirt? I would love to help design a HHoP mascot maybe? :3 Although I don't know how much help I would be actually designing a shirt. Lol
