Yesterday was a deal breaker day for me, I realised I hadn’t exercised Nas again for over a week and although me sticking to my eating plan, is a good thing. It will be fruitless if I don’t have a fit horse ready to ride at the end of it.

So even with a hectic day including an early start, and a few hours of driving.  I made myself go out after dinner, it wasn’t easy and I reckon if it hadn’t of been for fact I needed to go out anyway to put his rug on it might not of happened.

Still once I got out there and realised how mild and still it was I couldn’t resist. I gave him a quick flick over then spun him on the lunge not, for long but enough of a workout for an unfit cob. Even after skipping his stable sweeping the yard and topping up hay and water. In total I must have been out about 40mins.

Not long like I said, but it’s a start of something new. Normally if I haven’t got around to doing him before the evening he doesn’t get done.  After realising yesterday that despite working I have a busy week of school and friend commitments something needed to change.

The ridiculous thing is I have lights on the manege and its usually quieter outside just after dusk no pesky kids shouting or playing. In fact a much nicer experience and no time constraints –not sure how hubby feels about that hey ho 😉  .

I’m happy to say I have finally come to a point where I know I can’t put all my efforts into one thing at  a  time I need to keep everything ticking over. A little bit here and there is what’s going to make all the difference in the long run, rather than my usual trick of only concentrating on getting one task done at a time.

I’ve also got bad at not multi-tasking, things seem to take so much of my attention I forget that the boy needs me to give him some undivided attention.  All it takes is 5mins to show him how to do something properly. I’m ashamed to say sometimes that can be too much when I am in the midst of trying to get things done.

So hopefully over next few weeks everyone will see a more determined me but also a more relaxed me. Where I am trying to slow it down and still be productive.  I have wasted so much of my life thinking and stressing about what needs to be done rather than just getting on with it.

The same goes for waiting for the perfect conditions; lost weight, more money, more time etc. it’s all got to stop, no not the doing I mean the procrastinating is going to stop and I am now following the famous words of Nike JUST DO IT! Once again.

In the beginning when I first started to push myself into walking the dogs, even though my feet hurt and my hips hurt to the point of crying. I remember thinking to myself you can sit here all day looking for excuses. In the end though you have to do it, there is no opting out option when you have goals you want to reach.
