I was thinking today, as I bought the second packet of Hobnobs this week, that just because I *only* have 4 stone left to lose and in the grand scheme of things of what I have lost etcetc it's not an awful lot more, I have definately started to rest a bit on my laurels.
Must not do this. Although, as predicted I did not go to the gym today and I have not been for a run. I did ride for an hour though. Was in a t shirt by the end of it. Apparently Stinks and I are going to do some dressage. Hmmm.

More thoughts
Gym review tonight, was good... Harder work than I have been doing, now doing the stepper as well which is good, I'm assured thinthighs by doing that. So, thats good. Pleased I went, especially as I really didnt feel like it before I went in. Might go tomorrow, probably won't.... You know me.
Been thinking about my teeth....well, the sore one. As it still hurts, despite the abs etc, he DID warn me it might have to come out anyway, but it was my decision as it was at the front....So I chose the root canal, but, like I say, it still hurts. So...it comes out? I've been looking at prices at implants. They're expensive. I might put up with the tooth ache.
Vegetables for tea, I will be thin.

Hopes, plans and such like.
Right, I think I am lacking some focus.
Weight: I would like to be sub 14stone (again :rolleyes: ) by February 28th. This gives me 5 weeks to acheive that. SHOULD be doable. Should.
Debt: I would like to have my credit card paid off (again :rolleyes: ) by January 30th. I should do it, I don't THINK I have any huge bills going out, having said that I haven't opened my phone bill yet. So, credit card paid off...then can start on work account and then building Mollys account back up. Again :rolleyes: Although I appear to be having a lesson with V next week now (not entirely sure how much that will be...) and Mollys feet are due 10th February.
So. Those are the hopes.
Plans? They sort of amount to the same, essentially, get thin and debt free. I have my money pot to break at some point...God knows how much is in it, it's only half full, but I did go through a stage of sticking £5/10 notes in it. Clearly this was before Mol came home. I've just had a poke about in it but it is still defiantly only half full. I've bene thinking and I could possibly stand to ebay a couple of rugs....a numnah....a hackamore....horsewise anyway. I still have a shit load of videos and books and clothes I need to get rid of, clear some space. The idea of a car boot is still tempting, but it is the potential to be a lot of hassle for about £60. I need to pay for the rugs to be cleaned and potentially repaired too though, which is irritating. Maybe I should hang onto them till September, when both card & work account SHOULD be clear, and do it then?
I need to hang onto the feeling I had yesterday when I FELT so skinny and my clothes felt loose etc...I miss that feeling and I want it back. January is such a rubbish month. I think I'm going to try and keep this month to NOT putting weight back on, NOT accumulating more debt and then make a more concerted effort in February as the days get longer still and everythings a bit less of a hassle.
I want to ride more, but I hate the top yard school with the biggest passion in the world and it's still too dark to hack in the mornings before work. I can't wait till there's space on the bottom yard so I can ride either before or after work - lights, nice arena etc... I think if I get to the yard for 6.45 I'll have time to ride down and use the school before work...Depends on the light really I guess although there's no real road work, just the potential of her being a shit head on the way down there. Tam has suggested we start running on a Monday evening again so that will be good if we do. Sometimes I like to run alone, but I DO like the competitiveness of running with other people too.
This time next year, I will be thin, I'll be divorced, the house will be finished, I will be having oodles of fun with a FatHorse and I will NOT be in debt.
2010... My absolute limit. If I'm not there then, I never will do it.

Hmmm
I think I'm going to ring the dentist in the morning and ask to stop taking the new antibiotics - I've been sick all day and its only now I've managed to keep 2 sandwiches and a hot chocolate down. Am tired, didn't sleep much last night either.
Spending the day puking has meant I have acheived precisely nothing at work and didnt go to the gym either.

Poorly-sick
Just woken up after a mammoth sleep session - antibiotics for mouth set off a(nother) migraine which kicked in yesterday morning. Am just about human again now, just tired & drained and feel a bit pukey. Nice.
Not seen pony or gymmed, too poorly sick. Don't suppose pony or gym care but wish I'd been capable of doing both.
Still tired. Got my gym stuff ready for tomorrow. Dunno if I'll manage it though. Still, anything is better than nothing.

My legs will ache tomorrow!
To be fair they'd started aching yesterday after riding, but today I've gymmed and ridden. GYm wasn't bad, treadmill: rest - 4mph/0% incline/60s, work - 6.5mph/4% incline/60s. Did that to 15mins then put the incline to 0% when the work minutes came up and just ran till 1.6miles. Rower did 5 x 500metres with 30s rest. Had a 'quick break' of 180 situps then did my normal cross trainer. I've been thinking though, as much as I hate incline running, my abs ached after I ran on the 15% incline for 30seconds each time, so maybe I should do it a bit more often. Dunno, but I'm enjoying pushing myself again, rather than being happy with the bare minimum. This is a good thing, I think. I hope so anyway.
Took Stinks down to the bottom yard to use their school - it's cut into the hill so you don't get blown by the wind so much as on the top yard school. She was a little bugger to start with, the slightest touch was an excuse to scoot off, then when I asked her to actually work, we had big shakey head tantrums and stampy feet. Didn't get much nice work from her, but I'm happy with what I did get. Took a good 45mins to get it, but we did get there.
Now I've collapsed in front of the computer, and eaten a big bacon & cheese sandwich and 2 apricot brioche cakes. Tea is roast pork, yorkshire puddings, potatoes and vegetables.... Curry again tomorrow night and i will rejoin fat club tomorrow, think my subs have run out now.
Gym in the morning or attempt to ride? Hmmm.
