An Update

Well, bad me, I haven't updated this for ages (not that anyone else reads this but is a good diary for me).

I've also been bad with food. Shit shit shit, I've put on 5llbs since my last blog and I know why, I've done no extra exercise. I seriously have to get back into doing something, I was doing so well. I had every intention of going out for a walk this afternoon but have I done it? nope. I've spent all my time on HHO instead getting off my fat arse and going. In my defence, I do feel pretty shit tho I ache all over (and this isn't from any exercise as I haven't done any!).

Horses are all ok, I bought some pig oil and sulphar for Bottle's feathers today as he gets mites and in the winter mud fever but reading some stuff on HHO it seems there are various ways to use it. Also got to figure out a way to stop the farrier getting all oily when he comes to trim his feet .... bandages I think.

Teddy is still evil ... nothing new there then.

Lilly is still lovely ... nothing new there then either :0) We went to RC this morning to do the beginner 50cms, first time for both of them. Daughter was terrible in the practice ring (she really needs to learn to keep her heels down and shoulders back) and I honestly thought she'd fall off.

I entered her in for the comp twice, second time HC as the next class was 60cms which I thought was probably a bit too much for first time out doing proper SJ. She came over number 1 and missed number 2 as was flat at. Grace was crying .... oh gawd.... in I went, calmed her down, barked instructions and she got round the rest of the way. Next round, went in, shouted instructions over number 1 and 2 then course builder told me to stand quietly in middle and let her figure it out. She went round the rest of the way, a little fast but she got round and was smiling. Well happy. Just think I need to trust the pony a little more, she knows what she's doing and whilst she can be a little sharp she's never really been naughty. She's a star.

Right, I'm going to get changed, grab my iPod and go out for a walk...

I'm also going to get back on track with my diet and weighing my food this week...

Promise I'll update a bit more often now.

I hope!
