just replied to your PM.
still not over this flu/cold thing. am just under 180. managed to clock up over 10000 steps on my fitbit last 2 days. my goals for this week are to do at least 10000, although i might not manage that on tuesday as on the road with work0 -
I would concentrate on getting better above all other things. I have revamped my goals on BodyMedia and MFP to something I feel I can stick with for now at a pound a week loss instead of two pounds. We shall see how it goes...0

ok so still overeating way too much and not feeling in control of what im eating.
positives for the week so far:
- I have changed on to decaffinated tea bags on saturday so have been drinking only decaf tea since sat
- went for a 25 min jog today0 -
Wow! 25 minutes...GO YOU! Well my workout efforts have been sabotaged so far this week by a sick friend who I have taken over her morning shift feeding horses...I usually workout in mornings cause my evenings are hectic...but oh well...she can't stay sick forever lol.
I have not drank soda in a while or caffeinated tea...the only time I might is when we go out to eat...so I guess that is progress. I am trying to make healthier choices and eat less...so far I have eaten less but not healthier foods really.
Well, Cinco's trail ride entry may have to be scratched...he turned up lame after a trail ride across the road from the barn when he got stuck in mud...I guess he has aggravated an old injury. I am letting him rest this week and will test run him on Friday to see if he can go or not...Until then I am putting in my time on Cajun to get him going under saddle soon.0 -
hi there
sorry i haven't written sooner.
i nearly fell off today. i just wanted my horse to walk over 2 poles - thats all. well he catapulted in to the air, i felt like i comletly left the saddle lol. then he landed..........then i landed.............then he turned left sharp and i was left hanging around the right side of his neck. he stopped thankfully and i very ungracefully clambered back up. this is obviously an issue with my core and balance. i just couldn't physically get my upper body back upright without my hands on his neck to push myself back up. have you any tips for exercises that i can do to strengthen my core in terms of having more control over my upper body. i don't even know if that all makes sense?
the rest of the session went well though i just did some small cross poles, a parellel and then a gate jump which he found very very scary. i need to work on him landing on the correct canter lead too...
how is cinco? is he any better?
A xx0 -
Wow sounds like quite the day! lol
Cinco is okay...still sore in the hindquarters though and I am not sure why...He is okay at the walk/trot but his canter is all funky and he doesn't want to reach underneath himself with his back legs like he needs to. But that seems to be the least of my worries right now...
There are things going on at the barn....lots of things and I am trying to find another place for my boys. My friend has left the barn because of all the madness and since she is no longer working morning shift and the owner has not found anyone it seems that all the extra work is falling on me at no extra pay or anything offered. Not only that but I am finding out that the owner is badmouthing me behind my back and mistreating my horses. Cajun has lost 100 pounds in the last 6 months and I found out that he mostly was not getting fed...only when I fed him. I just don't understand....And the barn is going downhill because she is focused more on flipping houses...there are no available places to ride because she has filled them all with horses.
I am just sick of the ego and the "my way is the only way" attitude....needless to say I have been stress-eating and falling off the wagon of logging food and everything...I'm trying hard to reclaim some sanity and get back to it...0 -
sorry i have been missing for the last few days. im trying to get myself back into gear. bought a western saddle - i fancy giving something different a go. is cinco still lame? x0
-
Hey girlie...Yes...Cinco is still lame but slowly getting better. The weather has been crazy so not much work done with Cajun either. I have been eating like crazy and seem to not know what FULL is anymore...GRRR...0
