Sparkpeople

So I have decided to join Sparkpeople. Its a awesome cool online resource for loosing weight and being healthy.. I figure the more I involve myself with resources to help me loose weight, the better chance I will have to say on track. If you want to track my progress or the site check out: http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage.asp?id=LUNASGAL. Anything to keep me motivated is good!

Messages from my dad

So I know my dad sends messages to me from the grave. When he saw how much money I spend on horse vitamins I got a strong idea in my head to make my own and mix them together. I still can't get it out of my head, but its on my list. When I was living in AZ and on my parents anniversary I took my mom to Circus Soleil I got a strong message to sell my condo and move in with my mom. It came to me stronger then anything before, my mom agreed and within 3 weeks my condo was sold. Everything fell into line and soon I moved to NM with bills paid and enough down payment to buy my mini ranch.

Recently I have been doing more things on my own. Fix toilet, turn on swamp cooler and now I have decided I am going to learn to trim my horses feet. I bought a few books on natural trimming and bought the tools and am going to start that ( as soon as my tools come ). My good friend/horse rescue god Joey weights 100 pounds and trims her herd of 15. If she can do it I know I can. And maybe if I get good and like it a lot, it can become a part time job for me or something. I don't want to learn to shoe, I can still have my farrier shoe my 2 horses if they need, but heck I can do this! And it will keep me in good shape, or help me stay in shape.

Anyway that is my plan. With gas prices close to $4.00 I need to get creative and with this MBA on my shoulders its time to expand my horizon.

Have a great memorial day weekend- Go Dale Jr go!

Go Big Brown Go

So what a awesome race on Saturday- I think that this horse has a huge chance at the Triple Crown winning Belmont- That would be so cool and would help give a positive spin on horse racing in Eight Belles tragic death.. Or would it? Hundreds of x-racers still get shuffled over the border weekly to meet their demise on Overseas dinner plates.. I hope they pass HR 503 as then everyone will have to take responsibility for their horses..

I have been busy lately with work and home. Today went shopping and I am down to a size 20 pant size- This is the smallest I have been in like, well 15 years probably.. Its exciting and I am going to keep up working out, and watching what I eat.

That is all I have on my mind tonight- Off to bed to try to get up at a decent hour..

RIP Eight Belles

So today was a sad day in racing history, something we are seeing more and more of. Eight Belles was actually my pick for the Kentucky Derby as I have heard so much of this monster Filly and my hopes for her to win. As Big Brown came down the stretch and won the race it was so much excitement but when I heard that Eight Belles has gone down I knew it wasn't good news. The horror as the world heard she broke both front ankles and had to be put down as the celebration of Big Browns win rang on. She was a horse that loved to run, and ran too young for her size. Who is at fault? I think race horses are trained and ridden to young and after all the deaths the racing age should be raised to 4yo where the bones are fully developed. But greed and money fill the racing world, and unfortunately until more horrible accidents like this happen, the racing at young ages will still happen. A large portion of Mexican and Canadian Horse Slaughterhouses are filled with race horses who didn't have what it takes and the industry as become a use and waste business. As I hug my retired racing thoroughbreds tonight I hope and pray that Eight Belles is running free in heaven with no pain, doing what she only what she knew what to do, run.

XFiles

I realized how much I miss the X-Files- With the movie coming out soon, I joined the X-files Official Fan Club tonight and am getting this awesome poster sent to me.. I am going to frame in in my living room- I am going to buy the complete series as well- Gotta love Amazon..
