15. In hand work and weight loss progress

Hiya everyone,

Well today has been a slightly better day. Although I can safely say that I am aching like mad now!! I spent the morning in bed with my man, I just felt like for whatever reason I needed to get some sleep. Then when I did wake up I spent a while reading my slimming world magazine, I also made a start on finishing the rug I'm making for magic I've got one more bit to do tomorrow and then it will be finished.

Then while jack went for his driving lesson. I went to see magic. When I got there he was lying down and didn't really want to get up but eventually he did do. I put his head collar on and we went up to the school. I was a little bit apprehensive as to how he was going to be in the school because obviously we did not end on a good note. But he was amazing, if anything he was a little bit subdued and quiet today. He walked next to my shoulder perfectly, other than when he tripped he didn't put a foot wrong. I then asked him to trot and while he was reluctant to do it. In the end he did trot  for me and he stayed next to my shoulder it got to the point where if I slowed down magic slowed with me and he was really good.  It got to the point where we were working as one not as two. He was trotting through puddles, halting and standing square when he was asked to. I wa so proud of the little pony and really happy with the work that he has done today.  As a treat as I know magic likes walking out we then went for a 10 minute walk out to just chill out and relax after he'd been so good.  I then popped him back in his stable and did some more work with his head collar. Tonight we even took his head collar off without any head shaking, we are slowly getting there lol. I'm now feeling knackered though.

The weight loss is going well, just before I go to sleep tonight I will take another screen shot of the fitbit tracker dashboard  so you can see the process that I am making.  Today I have done two workout one was for five minutes and I ran a minute, walked a minute for five minutes.  Then I had a 30 minute workout with magic, this involved lots of running and walking. While I will admit that I am NOT by any means a runner, I am trying to get in to running shape. I also think I'm going to try doing the couch to 5k challenge and see where I get from there.  My aim is to just be body confident and happy with how I look. I'm by no means the thinnest girl around and I don't want to be super skinny,  I still want to have my curves but I want to remove the weight from the places it's not supposed to be mainly my stomach And my thighs. I'm also doing much better at controlling what I eat and not comfort eating during the middle of the night.  While getting out of this habit has been hard I definitely thing that it will be worth it. I will leave you with my stats.

Until next time
Amber and magic

  1. I do the comfort eating in the middle of the night too! It sucks! Good job conquering that. :D You're doing such a good job with Magic. He's such a good boy.

    I tried the couch to 5k thing with me and Chrome together when I was trying to strengthen his stifles, but when the weather got bad I quit doing it because I didn't want to do it on pavement and I don't have an indoor arena or anything. I got out of the habit and never went back to it. I don't have the best track record with being consistent lol. Not to mention I hate running. Just don't like it at all. I hope you have better luck with it than I do!! I think the FitBit is helping keep you motivated so I'm glad you got one. :D

CON ARTIST - NICKI WILLIAMS - BEWARE

Okay so this post has taken me a while to post for several reasons but the main one being just how angry this woman has made me.  For those of you that have been following my blog for a long while you will know that back around October of 2016, I was introduced to a woman called Nicki Williams, she was a friend of a friend that was supposed to be opening a centre for rehoming and rescuing animals, but also for horses working with soldiers that has PTSD. We hit it off straight away and came what I thought to be good friends. However warning bells should have probably rang sooner. By January or February of last year the horses that I had agreed to look after (that she had got on loan) Bella and Arthur, she was being threatened that she would have them taken off her by the control of horses act, because she hadn't been paying the rent for the field. Although Nicki reassured me that she had done, she even showed my 'payments' that had been made to Angie. I ended up getti...

Magic's 2nd day in his new home

It has been a while since I have posted on here but I thought it was the perfect time to restart the blog. So to start with I'll give you all an update on what's been going on over the years since I've posted and then I will be back to regularly posting and keeping you all updated on the world of magic.  The first big change who I need to introduce is Jaxon, Jaxon is mine and Jack's 7 month old baby, he was born on the 7th July 2020. Part of this blog will be dedicated to overcoming the challenges of having a small child and owning a horse, even when everyone told me it was impossible to do. Jax has a best friend Bailey who is mums new 1 year old puppy and he has the best time trying to play with her.  Of course Magic is one of Jaxon's best friends.  Now for an update on Magic, he is doing really well, I can't remember if I ever told you, but he moved yards last year when I was pregnant with little man. Unfortunately this yard just didn't quite ...

Olympics - good bad or both?

In the Beijing Olympics in 2008 the horses used in the pentathlon were said to cause farcical scenes with fall after fall after fall. This was said to be the fault of the horses that were either hired or loaned to the competitors. It was not blamed to be rider error or a combination of both rider error and horse error, it was labelled as being the horses fault or this is what it said in ' Horse and Hound Magazine'. This horse was said to have been to spooky and sharp, but is it not a combination of rider's aids and rider error AS WELL as the horse being spooky. Can we really just blame it on the horse, when we are the ones that tell the horse what to do, by no means am i saying it was 'just the riders fault' couldn't it have been a combination of both?.    For the London 2012 Olympics it was said that a total of two years if no longer was spent attempting to find the right horse for the right competitor. They made sure that the horse was at the right l...
