My Countdown - 20 Weeks to go!

Aw thanks! :) I quite like it here, you guys aren't so bad!
 
Don't leave the board :( :( I'm not doing just CD anymore either, I have my K products too, so strictly speaking I don't belong either but I refuse to leave!! I doubt you'll be evicted!!

BUT if you do move don't go without telling us, because like I said before I will come down to Cornwall and kick you up the bum ;)
 
Hehehe! Then I'll carry on highjacking the forum until I get told otherwise!
 
:D Yay :D
 
Right all you lovely people, I am off to bed. The last week at my horrible job starts tomorrow! 5 days and counting!

Night Hun xx
 
Just because you don't do cd doesn't mean u should go from here. Write down your thoughts and feelings! We'll still be here for you. Fitness it a good place to ask questions and thought you might want a diary there too for fitness. It's true that there's no real home for diet and exercise but stay here. You know me. Fitness freak full of useless info!
 
Not been on the full site for a very long time, usually use my mobile, time to update the old ticker and diary name.

I'm adding a new ticker, how much weight I have to go until I can safely ride my youngster. They say a horse can carry 20% of it's own body weight and I am making a rough assumption that Caleb is about 500kgs. He'll end up around 600kg when he's finished growing, but that won't be for another 18 months or so.

I need to get to 15st 10lbs, which is less than 2 stone away. If I put my mind to it I could be there by the summer, which means I can ride him! Not properly, he needs to finish up growing yet, but I'll be able to sit on him bareback in the field and take him for walks down the beach. It'll be amazing!
 
:D i went horse riding for a while. i had to have the biggest horse cause i was rather weighty. it was a jumping horse and we did some little jumps but he went bonkers and really went for it. nearly landed on my butt. next time i brushed his leg past something and he freaked out and knocked me off. one min on, next min ground. sort of put me off. these creatures have their own ideas and thoughts. sort of frightens me a little bit. :)
 
Completely, people forget that they've got half a ton of muscle underneath them and that they have their own minds. At the end of the day, if they want you off then you're gonna be off! And people also forget they are herd, flight animals. They are designed to flight at the smallest hint of danger.

We don't teach them to be ridden, they ALLOW us to ride them. I haven't fallen off in years, but thats why I'm very careful of what I ride and how I go about it, because I do NOT want to be falling off. The bigger you are, the harder you fall... lol! I'm sure I wouldn't bounce as well now as I did as a teenager.
 
Plus if I fall off, I haven't got a hope of getting back on! I can barely get my foot up past my other knee, let alone into a stirrup!
 
i got back on the horse when i fell but it really puts you off. i wouldn't want a horse any other way. they have a right to be their own animal. they have a right to choose who they want riding them. you need a sense of trust. i think if i had a horse it would be something that would happen between owner and animal. it's like my dog. she trusts me so much that she lets me do all sorts to her. i'm really bad cause i love her and she sleeps in my bed around my feet and warms me up. she's always done this right from almost bringing her home. she won't let hubby touch her with his feet cause he kicked her out once. but i can rub her with my feet and she knows the difference. very strange :)
 
Completely agree, I build bonds with my animals. I've had Caleb since he was 6 months old and taken from his mum and I've been his mummy since then. I've spent every day with him and I like to think he trusts me through and through. He definately trusts me over and above any other human he comes into contact with, though I like to think through me he's learnt to trust humans in general.

My dogs are the same, I'm alpha dog and they know not to mess with me, but they run rings around Scott. They let him think he is the human in charge, but me and the dogs know different. lol!

Animals are just like kids really! Well mine are anyway!
 
Eaten lots of naughty things today, the basis was good. Weetabix for breakfast, salad with chicken and cous cous for dinner but lots of picking during the day on naughties has mounted up now I've actually forced mysel to list them down. 2 chocolate digestives, 2 chocolate hobnobs, a smoothie bar (fruit flapjack coated in yoghurt), a packet of crisps and a cadburys creme egg!!!!

All completely unneccesary and if I had been recording as I ate in my iphone app then I know I wouldn't have had most of that. But it's so easy to eat and forget! Have bypassed tea and gone to the gym instead, 550kcals burnt!

Just about to tot up the overall kcal damage for today.
 
Total calories consumed 1731 and total burnt 550. Daily total 1181kcals.

I'd be pleased with that if it wasn't for how much crap I ate. Completely uncalled for and going in circles. Need to focus!!!
 
new day and new start kez.
 
Hey Hun, you can get your head back in the game, you burned calories too, all is not lost, just keep doing what you're doing my lovely, you can do it!!! :D
 
Finally day today in my job, I'm soo pleased. Was there until gone 9 last night but at least I know I can walk out at 5 tonight with a clear desk and clear conscience. New job on Monday! Yay!
 
Hey Hun how did your last day go? Are you relieved it's over? I often wish I could change jobs but it would mean moving or retraining really, and neither is an option. Hope you've had a good day :D
