Healthy Pony Summer

[Crowning_Glory13]

Those flowers are beautiful! Love garden food. I love dance recitals, even though I don't have any kids in them:)

And I'm still not posting my numbers regularly.  So I'll just do a big update.

6/5-5/5
6/6-5/5
6/7-5/5
6/8-5/5
The last four days saw a lot of progress on organizing bits in my room and getting scrapbook pages done.  I'm still working on pictures from 2007 so I have a long way to go but progress is happening.    Plus 2007 was a big year for photos because I was working at Disney World so there were a lot of photo opportunities.  I'm betting the other years will go faster once I start working on them.  No, I don't do digital scrapbooking because I like to play with glue and stickers. 

6/9-5/5 Did everything on the list but pulled my Achilles tendon so I think I'm going to take a few days off from the treadmill to let it rest.
6/10-3/5 Working on various projects. 
6/11-3/5 Working on projects.
6/12-3/5 Working on projects. 
6/13-3/5  In my head I know I want to paint (I'm almost done with three different boxes) but when I sat down to paint today, I didn't want to.  So I'm going to take a break from painting and try working on a different project.  I will probably try the treadmill tomorrow.

In happier news my nephew got moved out of the ICU last night.

Wonderful news on you nephew!!! I will keep sending prayers. I have to change projects too, because I get so board or lazy when I am not motivated.

6/13

3/5 I didn't get to go to the mall to walk so I did 3 miles on the exercise bike. Later I went to store and took extra steps while walking around the store.

6/14

3/5 I walked 3 times around the mall. I did get a bag of movie popcorn at movie theater but ended up brining half a bag home. I also didn't get a drink with my popcorn.

I'm not doing so well on healthy meals this week.

Having not so healthy is ok. From time to time. It was a great week:)

[Rainbowrific Renia]

For Tuesday, I give myself a 4/5. I did pretty good, but then I ate a ton of popcorn and some other snacks when we went to see Wonder Woman. I also drank some pop...there's this new Pepsi out, Pepsi Fire, and I just had to try it.

I give yesterday a 5/5. I didn't hit my step goal (I was at 11,567/12,000 before bed) but I did so well with everything else! I went to the gym for the third morning in a row and all of the food I ate was healthy. I even made a fruit pizza for dessert that turned out super good.

I have more to add to the "Renia is really trying to get a new job" saga. I went in for a second interview today with a company that needs and office assistant for up to 30 hours a week. I was told that I got one of the highest scores they've ever seen on the Microsoft Excel aptitude test and that it's down to me and one other person for the position. I'll know tomorrow afternoon if I got the job or not... and if I get it, I start Monday! Now yes, I have a job right now as an Introduction into Information Technology tutor at the local community college, but it's only 18 hours a week and doesn't pay very much. It isn't bad, just not what I'd like. So, *if* I get this new job, I can still work my current job! I'd just have to change my hours, and my boss is flexible about that so it should work! I'm so excited! This seems like it might be the one!


That's some great news about your nephew, Pokeyonekenobie!

6/15

5/5 I walked 2 1/2 times around the mall and didn't get any free samples. At lunch I left a lot on my plate and I drank a zero calorie drink after I got home instead of a full calorie one.

I hope you get the job Renia.

6/14-5/5 I walked on the treadmill, but had to slow it down because my Achilles is still tender. 

[Crowning_Glory13]

Yesterday, I knitted and walked and ate healthy. I was a bit lazy so I say it was more of a 2/5 day.

Today, knitted, read little, did my walking, 3/5. I have been tired lately.

[Leave a Whisper]

Been doing a lot of walking. Lost five pounds.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Wahoo nice job

[heathersmoo]

Thanks for posting the picture, Renia.  I love it!  My mom's best friend used to do that kind of artwork during the summers in college (they were both art majors).  It is always such a cool looking style

archidraca, please post more food pictures!  That meal looked beyond delicious.

congrats, CG

I very much got stuck in an "I'm now lazy" rut and I have to break back out. Maybe it's because summer break is almost here and all three kids will be home. My ability to have quiet, personal times is nearing a end, so I think I've just wanted to goof off and have fun by myself while it lasts. I haven't gone on a walk since last Tuesday.

I don't want to stay in the rut. The walking, the cleaning and all that really helps with the depression and I don't want to get sucked back into it.

Sunday June 11 to Friday June 16, I think I'll give myself 2/5 for each of those days. I still did some basic chores.

Things will help once Mr. Stomper has his new glasses and can drive himself to work again. Then I can get an early morning start to my long walks so I'm not out there when it starts getting uncomfortable with the heat.

EDIT: Oops, my brain went south for a moment there. Congrats on the wee one, CG!

[Crowning_Glory13]

Renia good luck with the job. I know how hard it is....hmm I got behind I think.

Friday, I knitted.....i ate healthy...oh wait I had 2 donuts...well I knitted. So 1/5. I have family coming to visit, so who knows what weekend I will have...they will get to hear the news for the first time!

I think I forgot where I left off. 

6/16 2/5 I walked around the mall and didn't get any free samples. However, I skipped lunch and ended up overeating later.

6/17  2/5 I didn't work out but did take extra steps at the stores. I wasn't so careful about what I was eating.

6/18  1/5 I am having some slight health issues today but I haven't been snacking between meals.

I am starting to crave ice cream and chips which is unusual for me. I'm also wanting more Coke and less water.
