This + me = GOALS
Year Goals
- Happy healthy Stinker (We are still trucking along)
- Happy healthy human (I am doing ok with balancing things)
- Build muscle in the correct places (It has slowed down a bit)
- Build up strength (He is still coming along slowly)
- Consistent walk/trot with leg yields (depends on the day)
Quarter 3 Human Goals
- Eat more veggies (I fell off the wagon a bit due to stress)
- Run 2-3 times per week (I was doing but see Q4)
- Yoga (Still rather hit or miss)
Quarter 3 Stinker Goals
- Keep building muscle and strength (I really need to use the trot work more effectively)
- More trot work (We were doing more prior to brain loss)
- Transitions, leg yields, shoulder fore (This had some decline due to ride ability issues)
More fancy less giraffe
Quarter 4 Human Goals
- See Physical Therapist
- I started having hip, back and knee pain when I increased my exercise load
- I need to get myself lined out, so I can exercise effectively
- Exercise 3-4 times per week outside of horses
- I need to start swimming, because it doesn't strain my joints
- Yoga and Pilates 2 times per week
- This will help improve my core strength and ability to move my body independently
Quarter 4 Stinker Goals
- Do not sacrifice the relaxation
- This is key, because as soon as I lose relaxation I lose the ride ability
- Relaxation is the base of everything
- Canter transitions on lunge once a week
- This will let me run him through things without adding the mental game of me riding
- I want to put canter on hold until I have the trot totally rideable
- Improve mobility and ride ability
- I have to have him where he is ok with me putting his haunches and shoulders wherever I want them
- He also has to let me choose the rhythm without losing the relaxation
Those are great goals. I may just copy and paste them for myself. :)
ReplyDeleteCopy and paste away :)
Deletesolid goals - especially the exercise ones!!
ReplyDeleteNow I just need to stick with them.
DeleteReally solid goals! I might need to borrow some of these for my next "goals" post... :)
ReplyDeleteBorrow away!
DeleteI'm impressed that you were bold enough to put "eat more veggies". Blech. Things I cannot commit to...
ReplyDeleteMore is a relative term... I count pizza toppings as veggies currently :)
DeleteGreat goals!
ReplyDeleteThanks! 😊
DeleteI can't believe how fast this year is blowing by either!! Yay for keeping the relaxation train going - it's a very good goal for basically all of us I think ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure relaxation is going to be a life long goal for us
DeleteExcellent goals (:
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteGreat goals! I'm totally with you about the relaxation. I admire your exercise goal - exercising 3-4 times/week outside of horses is way more than I can handle right now, I just aim for 5 times/week including horses, maybe I'll figure out how to get above that eventually though. Pilates is so good!
ReplyDeleteSo far I haven't been doing very well with it, so I would reserve judgment until December ;)
