Definately time for a national holiday. :nod:
Dunno why today was such a good day, but woke up before the alarm, got all my jobs I need to do before I leave on a morning done in about 3 seconds and was on the yard by 6.40am. FatHorse got a brush waved in her general direction and tack thrown on and took her in the school. Was levelled last night so was lovely to ride on. I might put a jump up tomorrow as I'm not putting out in morning so Soph and &G will be out in the field. I really do need to arrange some lessons with her, she falls in horrendously and if she's not falling in, she falls out and utterly ignores me. Very frustrating. Schooling books have been dispatched so they'll be here Friday probably...want them now!! Should have paid the extra for quicker delivery.
Got to work to find a STACK of work that needed doing, but it was All Good, I've decided I'm far better working alone, with lots of things on. I hate being distracted from doing stuff and I hate having to keep an eye on what other people are doing even more. Owner came in and told me the Thing I'm Not Meant To Know, although I'm still not meant to know it. Also told me something extra I'm not meant to know...I need to work extra hard to ensure everything goes to plan....So, shockingly, that made me really happy, rather than panicking about how I might not do it.
Second work related (sort of...) thing that made me happy was my food competition... Ate at 2pm, check me out. Did eat it all at once, but I've been ok, but then we had tea pretty much as soon as I got in from work. I'm not really hungry now, but if offered food, I could certainly eat it...Can't decide whether to save the 2.5points I have left for Fat-BBQ on Friday, or have something a bit later. Plus I have just remembered it's Chris' dads birthday party on Saturday night. Lots of food about then too. Think I'd better save them, despite I would happily eat...I dunno, something that's 2.5 points.
So, thats all good. The architect came round tonight and he doesnt think there'll be any problems with the plans for the extension. He's sending them off tonight, so in 8 weeks time it'll either be yes or no...He said as well to get builder quotes now, rather than closer to when we want it doing, so all very exciting. Can't WAIT to redecorate.
Just got back from the gym, I LOVE my ubershort program, the treadmill is hard work, nearly fell off the end this evening by the last work minute lol, and the x-trainer is a killer, although I might put the level up a bit. Was shaking like anything when I came out, was great!
Chris got me some tops from GYS...last year he got me XXL and they were far too small. This year he got me Large, I say they're too small, he says they fit. Have looked at sizing, they're a 14-16. They're too small. But still, HUGE grins...they're tight but wearable I guess.
Today has been a great day, I've loved it. AND I've been good ALL DAY. Even at the gym. Check me out.

sleepy....
FatClub wasnt too bad tonight, lost another 1.5lbs, but once again I wore different clothes. Next week I have to wear the same, otherwise there's no point doing it really.
Rode FatHorse this morning, we went in the field. I dont know what it is about the side near her FatCamp, but she is just stupid down there, still we managed a good 25minutes schooling, then spent the next 10minutes or so tazzing about :blush: I do wish I was brave enough to jump the logs. They arent that big, it's just me, being stupid as ever lol. Anyway, she was a good girl, left the yard in a good mood, even though was a bit late.
Work wasnt too bad although there wasnt a huge amount on, Chris has got some figures he's struggling with, I MUST remember tomorrow to compare BHB & CDM figures see which are cheaper. Keep forgetting, which is rubbish especially as the sales sheets are top of my in tray. Will be on my own tomorrow :bawling: Chris is going to GYS and Stu is out in the van.
Was stupid at work, getting myself worked up over FatClub, and then cos Chris was in an arse he got snappy, plus I TOTALLY failed on my eating competition, was starving and had some of my lunch by 9.30, rubbish. Must not eat till after 1pm tomorrow. Might just leave my lunch in the car, if its not close then it will be less tempting. In theory anyway. Went to the gym after FatClub, and was rubbish but enjoyed myself. I think I might just stick to the quick, intensive program. I went in fully intending to try and run a total of 3 miles and failed completely and utterly. Heart wasnt in it tonight. Watch, tomorrow night I'll be full of running and I cant do anything cos the architect is coming round at 7.15. I might go down the gym after he's been, depending on what time it is.
So I'm cross (although being good now....) I was SO PROUD yesterday that I didnt do it, then spoilt it today. Tomorrow will be a good day.
Must get arse into gear and sort out things for tomorrow, otherwise will be in a big rush and will be utterly late for everything, and that will not be a good day...

A good day today
There's a shocker!!
Dont know why today was such a good day, it had the possibility to be completely rubbish. Got up before work and went and rode Mollycob...we mooched about for a bit while I tried to decide what to do (arena was flooded). Part of me wishes we'd gone for a hack, but I'd left the doors open and didnt have my keys. Anyway, we ended up just doing some schooling and she was A Good Pony so we saved that session. Can't wait for my schooling books to turn up, I desperately need some new ideas.
I think I'm going to let her (molly) bank account build up a bit more and then arrange some lessons with a local instructor, I really do need some help. Hopefully, if the person I've heard of is any good, I might even gain a hacking partner... I'm so fed up of hacking alone, and so is she. FatHorse invented monsters the last time we went out, I'm sure it's because she's bored of that route. I bloody am anyway.
Work was good, got lots stocked up. C&D were pains though, the pair of them are lazy arses at times. Had a competition with myself not to eat till after 1pm (once I start I can't stop...) and managed till 1.45, yay! Troughed my entire lunch in 3 seconds flat mind, but we'll see how it goes tomorrow.
I'm not hopeful of losing any weight tomorrow, but next week I'll make sure I will. Have to be Very Good at the BBQ and it should all be ok, especially if I keep going to the gym and riding.
Talking of being Very Good....I havent done anything stupid at all today :biggrin: check me out. Was wobbly at the gym, was shaking like you would not believe and was DESPERATE, but resisted, all good :D Like my new program lots. I cant make up my mind about tomorrow, whether to go after Fat Club or not. If I do, I think I'll just go on the treadmill, get thin arms and do some sit ups. Maybe. Wednesday we have the architect coming round, so am not sure if I'll get to go, which is a bugger. Still, have Thursday and Friday off so can go both those days, and Sunday. Saturday I'll have to just ride. Might see if Chris wants to take the bike round Danefield, although last time we did that, she was an utter tit.

gym review
treadmill - 10 minutes, rest 4mph 1 min 0% incline, work 6.5mph 1 min 4% incline
rower - 20sec as fast as poss (45spm+) 10 seconds rest X 8
cross trainer - 10 mins level 12 manual 1min fast as poss (70's) 30 seconds slow
Arms have changed a bit, not doing shoulder press anymore and I've had to drop down some weights cos the exercises have changed, which has annoyed me slightly, but it's all good. Must work on sit ups a bit more, rather than starting and pretending that it hurts and I'm done.
Have also decided that I am not being a miserable bitch anymore, friends will get fucked off and is no fair to unload myself onto them when they feel rubbish enough as it is - you may as well call me Nicola if I carry on with that. So I'm stll going to be a miserable cow, but only with myself.
As for food, I didnt eat all morning till I came back from gym (2.30) - have just had a sandwich and a pack of pink & whites, so should be ok till tea. It can be my new daily challenge to see how long I can go without eating - means that when I do eat I shouldnt ned as much to fill me up.

Ridiculous.
While I'm out I think of loads of things I want to blog, but when I get here, in front of my computer, I've forgotten it all.
I do need to stop weighing things down on other people though, it's stupid ad unnecesary and I do call myself Nicola. I sti9ll scratch but it's starting to hurt now, must be getting too blunt. Plus I'm running out of places to do it. Wearing a swimming costume now will be uncomfortable until I'm in the pool, and if I ever get thin enough, a bikini is out of the question.
Hmmm, getting thin. I dont think I'm cut out for dieting anymore. I havent eaten yet today which is V.Good. However, it'll get to about 5pm and I'll just trough everything in sight. Which is V. Bad, natch. Plus there\'s this BBQ on Friday, I will drink then and eat Very Bad Things.I really do wish I could make myself sick, it would make things so much easier. Its not through lack of trying either.
Got a gym review with Jen in about half hour or so....This is for before work on a Sunday when I dont have much time.
Elmo is being a Very Bad Kitten, poking about at stuff, have just shouted at him and Belly is sat on my lap, also bawling away at him....he stopped (to shut us up I think) and Belly gave him one last miow, then looked at me gave me a big blink and cuddled up again. Love my kittens.
Want to ride tonight, but its chris' neices birthday so we have to go down there. Plus it's raining and she'll be wet. Sigh.
