I'm taking a page from Stacie's blog today because I have some confessions to make since I've been slacking on the blog!
Confession #1
We got a rescue puppy in December. She was 16 weeks old when she was transported to us from Georgia. We named her Cider (because she is Cider colored) and she is a redbone coonhound/golden retriever mix. She's super sweet and very obedient because I started working with her on day 1, but she's definitely a teenager right now! At 9 months, she weighs in at 52lbs and has been averaging 5-7lbs of growth each month (although in March, she only gained ~2lbs but she filled out quite a bit). My husband hopes she'll top out around 55lbs, but I he's nuts, LOL. I think she may end up closer to 70-75. Guess we'll find out! She probably has about a year left to grow.

Confession #2
Jazzy turned 10 on May 5 and I totally bought her a birthday bandana to celebrate in! She rarely acts her age and is just as goofy and fun-loving as ever. The puppy has helped her shed some pounds and put on some more muscle, so she's looking absolutely amazing.

Confession #3
I have some new lesson media to share as soon as I get around to writing about them!

Confession #4
Some of the pictures from the lesson media were pretty cringe-worthy and have hopefully helped me re-find my motivation to eat better, lose some weight (again), and workout regularly again! So much belly and so many chins going on right now. 😭

| 1 word for this. UGH. |
PUPPYYYYY!!!!!! Congrats on the new (not so) short kid! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI think you look great up there, don't be so hard on yourself! We've been surviving a pandemic after all. Love the green breeches!
Thanks, girl <3
DeleteDon't worry about the belly and chins. Your horse doesn't care, and when you look back on those photos years later you will be more excited to see you working with a lovely horse than you'll ever care about what your body looked like.
ReplyDeleteYou're totally right! I think it's more about not feeling great in my own skin right now, which is definitely a me problem. I've been slacking on the eating healthy and working out and the "bad" pictures were just a bit of a reality check. There were more good than bad, though! I can definitely see and feel progress in my riding. I'm leaning less, I'm breathing more, etc
