My Journey to Beauty.

Well. I am off to the gym again today, just to do cardio. Then grab a quick supper and off to ride my horse. We will probably due 30-40 mins cardio (mixing up a few different machines)
 
So I did go to the gym and we did 40 mins (20 arc, 10 stepper, 10 rower). My horse was a pain in the butt so I got a work out 'fighting' with him to do what I want.
I picked up a good multi vitamin so hopefully that will help with the icky feeling I have been getting in the evenings and help me feel less tired during the day.
 
So yesterday I was a little bit bad. I had 2 cookies, and a big glass of iced tea. I didn't do any exercise but it was meant to be my off day.
 
Had an extremely stressful day today at the barn. A friend's horse flipped over on her over a jump. She is ok but bruised her ribs and wasn't feeling great, thankfully her horse is ok.
Another horse flipped, cracked it's skull open and had to be put to sleep. The poor thing was so covered in blood.
So I have been drowning my sorrows in food.
I had chicken strips meal at DQ, then half a kids blizzard for lunch
Then I had a few cups of iced tea and 1/4 plate of tortilini and tomato sauce.
No exercise other than riding my horse.
 
So I ate bad on Sunday too, but finally sunday evening I was able to break it and didn't give back into the temptation.
I didn't do any exercising other than riding my horse and a bit of walking around.
I have 2 busy weeks ahead of me as I head into horse show season which greatly limits my time to get to the gym, not to mention that horse shows are very tiring so I don't feel like going to the gym anyways!
 
So I was quite nervous to do my 2 week weigh in today. After being depressed on the weekend I just didn't eat great and didn't exercise. Thankfully I lost 3 pounds! I am 150 right now. Nearly into the 140's!! I just gotta stay strong, specially with the horse shows, so I can lose the other 2 pounds I need to lose this month to make it to my 5 pound goal, which would bring me to my midpoint weight!
 
Thanks.
Well Like I thought this week has been very sparadic and crazy. With horse showing all week long I just don't eat well. The food they serve at horse shows is never terribly healthy, and when it's boiling hot out those freezies, ice cream treats, and cold drinks start sounding really good. With all the rushing around I do I sometimes forget to eat lunch at all. Plus I am so tired when I get home that there is no way I can go to the gym.
I have a horse show again this next week but it's supposed to be cooler so hopefully that will atleast help with the sugary things
 
The second week of my horse show was canceled, so instead of having fun and riding I am stuck working, which is making me a bit depressed. Since I am an emotional eater this sadness is leading itself to not eating well. I most likely will not lose the last 2 pounds I needed to get to my halfway goal by the end of this month b/c of it!! Arg. I need to get my act together!
 
Aww I'm sorry the second week of your show got canceled. That sucks. I'm also sorry that you've been emotional eating. I know what that's like. I bet if you get focused again and start working towards your goal you'll feel a lot better. I know it always helps me. It's just hard to get started. And also it doesn't matter whether you lose 2 lbs by the end of the month or not. Regardless of when it happens it is a great achievement and you'll be so happy to be halfway there! I hope you feel better soon! :)
 
THanks. I ate SO BAD lately. In all honesty I have had 6 chocolate bars in 3 days. I have had cups and cups of iced tea (the sugary stuff not the cold tea stuff), lots of Spitz, hot chocolate, donuts, pizza, frozen yogurt.... You would think that the absolute sick disgusting feeling I get from eating so bad would encourage me not to do it again, but it doesn't!!! arg!!
I am gonna try to force myself to the gym tomorrow and not eat the chocolate bars that are sitting in my house!
 
I finally ate well again yesterday. Yay.
I didn't exercise other than riding my horse but I am still happy that I ate well.
