I got back on the wagon and out with my horse, I have finally settled on an eating plan. One I feel I can stick to and more importantly I want to stick to its not rocket science or nothing I haven’t tried before but this time I will persevere with it and see how I go. I’m sticking to eating 3 x a day now with no snacks in between.
It feels against the grain eating in the morning, I realise now however I need it if I’m going to achieve anything in the day. Otherwise I just clock watch constantly until lunchtime. And then if I’m not totally on it I can’t control myself when I do finally eat. I have also noticed my mood is a lot better if I eat in the morning.
The only downside is the weight loss isn’t as great and some days it can be non-existent but I figure I will have more chance at sticking to it in the long term, I just need to up my exercise a lot more. And not let myself listen to the nagging in my head saying you’re not losing so what’s the point just eat chocolate in front of TV all night.
Nas came back into work yesterday, again! I know poor thing I keep stopping and starting him this is it now though I’m so motivated to get out there and get riding again as soon as my weight is back down below 23st and his fitness is up. He lost so much condition over the winter but the 24hr turnout has done wonders and now he’s looking a bit too good.
We just need to get us both fit again and then we’ll be ready to go in no time. I was planning on a cross country in September but realistically that’s not going to happen. I’m not too worried though all I want is to be back riding him and at a point where I can just tack up and go. We will aim for the shows etc., once I’m back in the saddle.
It’s all change here, I’ve found a new loan home for one of the Shetlands. The mini I think is older than we realised and although the boy has practically outgrown her, she now has another little rider. So she won’t be going anywhere. We’ve also decided to have a go at riding lessons for the boy. It’s no fun me constantly nagging him. And he really needs to ride something a bit bigger now. We also might have a new addition in the next couple weeks, its hush hush for now.
