About 5 weeks ago I was all hyped and excited about getting my arse back in the saddle by New Year, that hasn’t happened. Then at about 4 weeks I was all ready to start a plan that would involve more meals but smaller ones, that didn’t happen. Then I decided I would just go with the flow get… Read more →

I Wasn’t Much Cop
Yesterday either, it’s almost like I get as far as my lunch –sandwich- and think phooey this isn’t enough, the bizarre thing is it’s exactly the same as if I was having egg on toast. Two slices of bread ok sometimes I sneaked three in oh and not counting the one I ate while preparing lunch. Damn that’s where I’ve… Read more →
Rough Round-Up
So the summer holidays have started – they don’t officially start here until Monday, when Steve starts his 2 week holiday. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy with the boy home it’s been a little full on, hence the lack of posts and updates. And why I am going to try and squeeze it all in here. I shall… Read more →
Hmm not quite back to it
Yesterday didn’t go quite as planned, it was going ok until I got back from picking Steve up and started dinner for some reason the one piece of cake wasn’t enough, nor was the tunnocks bar or a piece of flapjack, Eugh why do I do it. After dinner I was shattered and nearly fell asleep but I held out… Read more →

For the first time in as long as I can remember I actually achieved a goal! I wouldn’t have been able to if it wasn’t for the help of a very good friend and the Fact I have the most amazing horse ever. Oh and I must mention the love and support I get from Steve. If it wasn’t for… Read more →
Counter Canter
Just a quickie today, before I head onto the yard to start Nas’s makeover for the beach ride, after thinking about it I want him to have a couple of days to get over the fresh ness he gets after having his feathers clipped off. I am still in two minds about clipping them… you’ll see what I mean in… Read more →
For my next trick…
I shall attempt canter, yep the time has come for me to have a go at cantering, no point going to the beach if I can’t canter hey! I have been upping Nas’s canter work on the lunge in anticipation of this day. Generally I don’t do much canter work with him, knowing how hard work it is and it… Read more →
Couldn’t Resist
Yay Monday morning, despite having a bad dream last night I actually have a good feeling about this week and not because the boy is back at school or the fact the beach ride is less than a week away. It’s more than that. I have a good positive vibe that some things will get sorted and we can breathe… Read more →
Outta Coffee.
It’s not very often this happens, but when it does it completely throws me. One of my indulgences is a strong rich coffee in the morning, ideally with a sweet biscuit obviously if I wasn’t trying to lose weight. I was having a conversation with someone the other day how I could live on biscuits and sandwiches. I tend to… Read more →
Happier With Myself.
I decided to get on Nas before lunch yesterday, it was much easier for me. I didn’t feel so bloated and like the fact I had lunch to look forward to. It probably wasn’t the best time of day for Nas though seeing as how hot it was. He was sweating again after about 20mins (which is the total time… Read more →
