The bestest bestest news ever

eugh - I hate Maccie D's but love Pizza Hut pizzas.

No I must be strict. Want to lose at least 1 stone before Leicester County show in 4weeks time

No chocoalte, no fizzy drinks, no sweeties etc etc etc.

I say this after I have made 2 sets of Mars bar rice crispy cakes and 2 broken biscuits cakey things all for work on Thursday when I go back. I must not eat any of them. I must be good and give them ALL to my work cooleages.
 
Yes but you MUST do a taste test, and you cant just try one!

Oh gosh I dont envy you having to cut all those out, (she says as guzzling a glass of Pepsi which came with Pizza Hut meal), hopefully all the extra horsey activities/exercise will be enough!

I think if I didnt have horses I would be one of those people who had to be washed with a rag on a stick and cut out of their house. I love my food I do!

Yes but what happens if I have my photo taken with the little beastlet and I look like a right fat blob?

Im going to be soooo upset that I didnt bother to do anything about my weight before hand arent I.
Also I dont want to be a fat blob on the big bird when I get her out and about this year - I want to look really nice on her so I can wear really nice things and look the part even if I cant actually do the riding part

.
thats my problem too I love food. Its not fair all the people with drug, alcohol, shopping addicitions can just cut it out of their life, but not food!!
 
Exactly, I was watching something the other week and they were saying with other addictions, drugs etc, you can stay away totally, but imagine if say alcohol was like food and you had to have a little each day to survive, how many people would stay on the wagon!

WellI always find brisk walking does a good job, I cant run to save my life but lately Ive been walking the 5 miles home from the yard a few times a week, feeling fitter already! I think exercise is the key but its a pain in the backside.

thats what I have always thought. If the drug and alcohol addicts had to have a little bit every day then there would still be lots of problems. Think most people would fall straight off the wagon as soon as they got on. Dont think many would manage to stay on.

I didnt think i could run/jog as doctor has told me I have exercised induced asthma. Well I always carry an inhaler with me just incase, but it was my legs that gave way well before my breathing did. Must have been going at some pace too as big bird was keeping a lovely rhythm to her trot and at 17.2 she has a big stride!

Got to invest in a sweat band though as I bet I dont look very pretty with sweat running dwon my bright red face

Try swimming! Low impact, no worries about sweaty faces, jsut the ordeal, for me anyway, of wearing a bloody swimming costume. Saying that f you can go at adult only times its usually pretty quiet with no kids dive bombing on your head.

Totally agree regarding the addiction theory, yet some people want obese people to be excluded from treatment on the NHS as its 'self inflicted and thier own fault' but some of these same people wil happily spend unlimited funds on the alcohol/drug side etc because its seen as different somehow.
 
i cant be arsed to go swimming - too much like hard work as ive got to get the horses done early to go swimming. Also I cant say i look the best in a swimming cozzie - but I will do when Ive lost my weight and toned up!!!
Also I might as well walk/jog/run with the horses as im already down there and killing 2 birds with 1 stone as im getting exercised as is my horse, and my mum comes out on the pony with us so it gets her out too.
 
Absolutely, and who knows with spring here and all that spring grass you may get more exercise than you think if your lot are anything like mine at the moment, bringing in/turning out is like an audition for the spanish riding school!

I cant wait for Chantin to get fat - im pumping tonnes of feed into her but no real signs of weight gain yet. Im hoping the spring grass does it for her.
The other is muzzled 24/7
 
My welsh cob mare that I sold a few months ago, she lived on fresh air, everything restricted, its so strange now having a horse I need to feed up, I always feel like Im giving him loads but its not a lot really, considering his size.

Im sure Chantin will be filling out lovely in a matter of weeks, Beau has been putting on weight and condition gradually over the 2 months, but Ive seen a difference in just these last 2 weeks since they wnt in the back field which is full of grass. I think the biggies always take the longest too.
 



This doesnt help the situation - look at the field in the background.

There is no grass at all and were still on the winter fields as the YO is going to fertilise the summer fields soon so its going to be May by the time we get to use them
 
likes the happy dance - i havent done one of those - will have to go practice it.

Will have to get the photographer out (mum or dad) to take some piccies when I get back on her!! Cant wait to see what she thinks to me getting back on her. Wonder if shell start squeeling again like she used to?
 
yes boss **salutes**
wink.gif
will get lots of piccies of her with me - that reminds me I must get her tack cleaned!! its been sat in my room un used for 2 years.

I certainly will be joining in with the squealing

Hmm that field looks like our winter field too, but we have put ours in the summer field now.

Lots and lots of hay then I think! Even though mine have plenty of grass they are still wanting plenty of hay when they come in so I dont think they are getting enough from the grazing yet.

p.s. I love her white legs!!
 
yes i thought we were moving onto the summer grazing earlier so put her onto some drier haylage. Have now changed this and bought her her normal haylage again. Lots of nice wet haylage for her to eat, and the fate chestnut behind her has been banished to her own paddock so I know exactly what each of them are eating! Fat Chestnut, thin bay!
you wouldnt be saying you loved her white legs if you had to clean them!!
 
i was only saying the same to my mum this morning. She cant quite work out why im taking her for walks instead of riding her but shes getting out which is the main thing
