So I was sitting here tonight looking at pictures I have uploaded on Facebook. I came across pictures of me at one of my riding lessons and realized just how overweight I am. I have known I'm overweight for a bit but to see just how big I am as I'm riding a horse, I really feel bad for the horses I've ridden. It's hard to imagine just how much they've dealt with while lugging my fat ass around.
So seeing this, and realizing that I could probably ride a little better without the stomach, I am going to make a concious effort to loose the weight and start eating healthy. As I sit here writing this, I have a box of Nature Valley granola bars sitting beside me that I have really enjoyed the few that I have had. I think I'm goig to figure out a way to get a gym membership as well and start going there. Even if it's just to use a stationary bike or something. Have to find something that is easy on the knees.
There is also Fit Booty Camp that I may look into as well. 8 weeks of someone kicking my ass may do me well. :) Anyway I just thought I'd put this out.
From this day forward I'm going to make sure I work to loose the weight and that way I'll be in better shape when I go back to riding, if I ever get back to riding.
What a great idea, Carrie! I need to do the same. At least I own a stationary bike, which should help, right? As soon as I think I can without hurting my legs, I will. And with nice weather just around the corner, I should get outside and walk, walking is the best exercise!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your program!
Hoping that I have a job soon, then I can actually get a membership to the gym where my friend's go so then the three of us can go and kick one another's butt. :)
