Healthy Pony Summer

[Crowning_Glory13]

Ahh the sudden urge to have the not so healthy stuff. Try to resist. Giving in sometimes sets you way back. But find a reward for resisting. This way you can say, coke or pamper me day. It could help you get over the hurdel.

Sigh...sat 1/5 I did tiny bit of knitting. Sunday 0/5  I just feel awful. Too much sun watching my nieces play soccer. So now I feel sick and cold. Limited on what I can take due to pregnancy.  But I hope extra rest and a nice sleep will help:)

I feel like posting some pics but don't wish to clutter the feed with them so they're all under spoilers.

Wednesday 4/5
Went to the midweek Market with Youngest and let her play in the fountain for a bit over an hour. A little gardening done and a little cleaning. Just over 1 3/4 miles walked. No exercise.

Thursday 4/5
Went to Safety City in the morning with Youngest which is a mini-Knoxville biking area for kids. Keeping up with even a learning child is exercise. I watered and weeded but did no gardening as I start prepping for the SEpony Meet. Over two miles walked.

Friday 3/5
I did nearly nothing this day. Some shopping was done and I planted a couple of pots with tropical trees that will be annuals if I forget to take them into the garage this winter. Almost no cleaning and only 1 3/4 miles walked.

Saturday 4/5
Went to the Saturday Market with 2 of 3 kids as none of us wished to wake Middle child. Stayed for the Pride parade and puttered about in the garden for a bit retraining vines. Cleaned a bit in the kitchen so I could feel decent firing up my grill. Kebobs for dinner and s'mores with the kids for desert. If I'd done anything resembling enough movement for exercise this would have been a perfect day. Amongst that I walked close to 3 miles.

Sunday 2/5
No exercise, no gardening, and at just under a mile walked barely even any of that as well. I have been learning to crochet more rather than working on ponies or cleaning as I ought.

3/5 for Friday. I walked a lot, but I had a Mary Kay party and ended up snacking on some not-so-healthy foods. I was also at an amusement park in the morning/afternoon and didn't eat well, haha.

4/5 for Saturday.

5/5 for yesterday. I went to the gym with my friend. I started week 3 of the Couch to 5k app. I ran for 3 minutes straight and didnt get winded! I love that app.

Oh, btw. I GOT THE JOB!  I start next week, and I get to keep my current job as well. I'm just going to change my schedule and maybe work less hours as a tutor.

Thanks Crowning_Glory13. The cravings aren't as bad today but I feel like I have no energy. Congrats on getting the job Renia.

6/19 3/5 I walked down the block to the neighbor's house and also walked 3 times around the mall without stopping.

Got a walk in...i might get some knitting done, and I am recording...i give myself 3/5 I do eat healthy today:)

Sunday 3/5. I walked to church and walked home from church. I was also heavily depressed, so the fact that could power my way through that walk was pretty impressive.

Monday 4/5. It wasn't a walking day, but I walked to the store and back anyway. I even called my Pa on my way back, so "taking him on my walk with me" was quite a mood boost. And I got some work done on chores that I didn't do very much of last week.

Tuesday 5/5. I went on a 9.84 mile walk. I got an early start, too. As a fun bonus, I walked across the bridge on Ft. Whoop-Up Drive. There is a weather/traffic camera pointed on that road, and I called my Pa again just before I came into view. He got to watch me walk along that way as we talked on the phone. (Here, you can see it for yourself here. First image.) That was fun. I also did a few chores later on in the day, despite being worn out. So not too bad.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Oh that is so sweet, to walk with your Pa:) ....your walking is so impressive SDS!

[Rainbowrific Renia]

I can't even give myself a point for Monday because I literally did nothing. My anxiety and depression decided to make themselves known again and I was stuck in bed all day because of it.

Yesterday I give a 5/5, though. To make up for Monday, I hit the gym hard, walked, ate well (except dinner) and stayed active even while I was at work.

A 9+ mile walk, SDS? That's amazing!

[Crowning_Glory13]

Hate how those anxiety and depression hit hard, Renia. Big hugs.

They don't tell you how painful pregnancy can be. I am maybe 5 weeks, but I hurt all over at night. I have very little pain relievers to choose from. I did knit, vacume my house and walked...so 2/5 for Monday. Sigh piano is taking a back burner again:(

[Rainbowrific Renia]

It's horrible. I just hate how I can have an amazing day, go to sleep, and then wake up feeling like a failure for no good reason. I had such a great weekend and tried to fight off the feelings, but anxiety and depression absolutely don't care how good you feel. At least it only lasted the one day.

I've heard some pregnancy horror stories when it comes to the pain. It's part of the reason why I don't want kids. Like...kudos to the women out there that can and have dealt with it! You got this, Crowing_Glory13! I hope that you don't have to deal with the pain during most of these 9 months.

I give yesterday a 4/5. I actually woke up yesterday morning with bad leg cramps, but I managed to get in a light cardio dance workout before work. My granddad was kind enough to drive me to work, since I didn't want to risk driving with the cramps. After a few hours at work, my legs felt fine! Enough so that I walked around campus for 45 minutes after work, waiting for my husband to come and get me. Good news is that today I don't have any cramps and I was able to drive! I was fully prepared for a trip to the ER if the cramps had lasted any longer.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Woot no ER trip!!!! Yesterday 0/5. I so did nothing, and forgot to even record. Well today is new, and it's a short work say, and some prospects have gotten me a little inspired again.

[Rainbowrific Renia]

Yes, today is a new day, which means you can easily have a great day despite yesterday!
