20,000 Steps…

I love Sundays.. Getting up late, cartoons and coffee in bed and spending hours at the yard tinkering about with the horses. I’ve really recently got back in to riding after a good 6 months off and I’m loving it. Today I decided to ride out with the girls on the yard to Ashton Court in Bristol, a huge open space with miles of beautiful views and time to really relax.

The horse I ride is called Dis, he’s super gorgeous and it feels like a honour every time I go to the yard to be met with his grumpy faces, he cheers me up on the crappest of days and in a short space of time he’s become the favourite boy in my life.

I had an absolutely amazing ride, it was pretty long ride with lots of trotting so I was pretty excited about how my Ki would have thought I’d done today, I was thinking I’d be getting big green ticks against my calories burned, steps taken and leave me with a lovely juicy calorie deficit to try and recover from the death by Chinese the night before!!

Uploading the results the one that stuck out the most was my steps.. 0ver 20,000, I was feeling pretty ‘check me out’, highly impressed with myself until I zoomed in to see what time all these steps occurred – Sadly it was poor old Dis walking his little socks off meaning AGAIN I’ve missed my step target, grrrrrr, I really need to do something about my lack of steps, mental note.

My results are pretty all over the shop for today, I had four and a half hours sleep last night which is pretty terrible considering the clocks went back! I never would have realised what little sleep I get if I wasn’t for the band. On a very very positive note I managed to burn near to my target, 3243 calories – not bad considering Dis did all the hard work!

Cannot wait to get my seven day report from my Ki – I hope it’s impressed with this one day of hardcore activity!
