Checking IN

So this month has been crazy busy. Working a lot of hours. I will post more later this week as I have Wed-Sun off this week- SO excited! Been changing up my feed schedule for my horses, switching to pellets and a little hay.. Hope has had a major relapse in her Laminitis so she is on only Grass Pellets and Well Solve Low Carb.. Trying to get a handle on it is so hard, I think it might have to do with the weather too.. The sad truth is that she is going to have to eat alone and have no more Alfalfa for the rest of her life to keep her healthy.. I thought I could integrate her feedings but the sugar in the Alfalfa is too much, and put her body into a sugar comatose.. She is doing great though, I keep her in a nice clean stall when I am at work, and on days off she gets to roam with the horses after she eats. She is moving really slow, but hopefully she will soon be back to herself.. Anyway will post more later this week- Off to bed, only 2 days this week to work- Woo Hoo

Vegetarian Wednesday Update

So I have been really good with my vegetarian Wednesdays. I actually kinda look forward to it. Today had Pad Thai for lunch, and a Amy's Cheese Pizza is in the oven for dinner. I really love those Amy's Pizzas.. Mostly Organic which makes it so much nicer to eat.. I think I might be Vegetarion on a couple more days a week- I am finding its not that hard anymore, which maybe is a sign I am loosing my lust for meat? Time will tell :)

Today I had a mammogram which was painful. I think as I continue to get fit and loose weight they are more painful as I don't have as much extra skin. That is a good thing though! Then I went to the mall and got some great sales on clothes- Not that I need anymore clothes, but more work clothes.. I was going to ride but its too windy, so I will save that for tomorrow.

I am happy about the election. I voted for Obama, but I really liked McCain also. I just didn't like his barbarian running mate Palin. I think she ruined it for McCain. Either way I would have been fine, but I think now as a nation things will change. I just hope the crazys don't do anything stupid as there are a lot or racist people in this country. They are going to have to have lots of protection on Obama as the crazys are bound to come out..

That is all for today- I think my pizza is done- Going to settle down and play WOW for the first time in a long time tonight.. Need to connect and spend time with my buddies online- Will post back soon!

Europe here I come!

So my mom is taking the family on a Baltic Cruise next April. I leave on April 28th for 15 days in England and cruising on a Baltic Cruise through NCL from England to Russia. I am so excited! I have something to really look forward now as I was getting kinda down.. So I am looking at 10lbs a month- I think I can loose 50lbs by May. I am amping up my workout routine and going to cut out fast food and only allow it a couple times a week.. Back to the scale I go and we will see what happens.. I am not going to fly again and travel being this overweight.. Nothing is worth then a 10 hour plane ride when you are stuffed into a seat- So that is my goal! I am off to ride for the rest of the afternoon to burn some outdoor calories! Stay tuned for my weight loss journey results :)

Getting even at the end?

So today as I am at work on a break I thought I would post something that made me open my eyes a bit. A student of mine told me he doesn't eat beef anymore. When I asked why he said "The cows are getting back at us ". All the health warnings of beef and such he figured he would stop rolling the dice. This made me think of a girl I met at the SW Livestock Auction. She said that all the dairy cows there that they sell for slaugther have tumors and she doesn't even drink regular milk or eat beef anymore. Those poor cows are pumped fully of stuff and we are eating and drinking it. I guess when you think of it the cows are getting back at us, only time will tell....
