Good morning all. I have a quick NSV to report. Despite being up twice ill, I did run this morning. I am still on week 1, as I missed two days last week, but at least I did it. I need to look for a new, safe, easily counted route. I have been going a bit short to stay where I can count. (the plan I use combines minutes of walking and running. As I can not bear to watch the clock, and dont have a watch I can set to go off per the program, I use blocks. It accomplishes the same thing in the end, and I tolerate it well.)
I am off to ride tonight too. Have a great day all.
Hi all. Just a quick post to bump us up a bit. I was feeling pretty tired, so I didn't ride tonight. Lunged him for awhile. Let him play for a bit. And washed a layer of dirt off him. It wasn't warm enough to do an all out bath, but he is a bit cleaner.
Was supposed to go trim Arashi's hooves tonight, but that got derailed. I have a job interview tomorrow at 10, so figured I'd better get myself ready for it tonight. I colored my hair (got rid of the 'old'), bought some makeup , and printed out the resume, directions, etc. I need to go figure out what I'm going to wear, and make sure I have pantyhose, etc.
It would be working as an Admin still, but I'd be working for a company that does forensic data retrieval. How cool is that? The recruiter tells me they're looking for someone who can start out in admin, and then move into doing more technical work. Sounds right up my ally. Now to convince them I'm the best person for the job, eh? It actually pays enough so I wouldn't have to sell things to pay board and feed for my horses.
Food was ok, exercise was the weights, water was actually good today.
Tomorrow I *must* run.
Are you ok, Jolly? Sick? I saw in your post you were ill... I hope you're feeling better!
Well, the interview .. went. I have no clue what direction it will take. I guess I'll know in the next couple days if they want to see me again.
Anyway... I did my Week 4 Day 2 of Couch to 5K today. I was NOT in a good headspace for running. I just felt heavy, sluggish, tired.. I couldn't breathe right. It was really difficult to keep going. Just about when I thought I was going to just bag it and do shorter intervals, my vision focused in on the box I'd been staring at. It's one of those packing boxes that never got unpacked when we moved, you know? In big, black, bold letters, it said "You can..."
And I realized.. I can. All my life, people have been telling me "You can't because... it's too expensive, or I'm not smart enough or pretty enough or skinny enough or ..." Fill in the blank. You know what? I CAN! I can lose weight. I can get in shape. I can trim hooves. I can train horses. I can.
It was a pretty interesting little revelation.
Tomorrow is lower body weights. I think I'll maintain at the pounds I used last week, considering that nearly crippled me for 3 days. I mean... sore is one thing, that was ridiculous.
Food is good, water is GOOD for a change, and exercise is chugging along.
Raven, jolly, I'm here, just not up to posting much. Sorry. Raven, great going on the running. Hope you get a bite from the interview but if not...well, don't sweat it.
jolly, you are amazing getting your exercise it. Keep it up.
I will try to write soon. I'm trying to get off the floor. Started a new 21-day challenge thread. They always worked for me. Keep it simple, always simple, count to 21. I can do that! Join me if you can.
Later, guys.
Hi guys! Sorry I've been out of touch, seems like the days are flying by and I just am not getting time to do everything. I weighed in at WW on Tuesday morning 1.8 pounds lighter! Finally, since Feb. a loss!
It's done nothing but rain here.
Had to have my car towed the day before yesterday, all the electronics died on it.... computer "glitch", what a disaster that proved to my schedule, but I have it back now.

Hi all. Raven, congrats on your epiphany. Linda, congrats on the loss. Red, good luck with your new challenge.
My eating is still horrid. Bad, bad, bad, bad ,bad. But . . .Despite working until 10p, and needing to be to work this morning before 7am, I got up and did day one of week 2 of the runnign program. Felt pretty darn good too. Now, if only the weights take.
Yeah, but right now I feel like the size of the dog in the fight is a Saint Bernard, and the size of the fight in the dog is a Chihuahua. Hmmm. "Yo quero Taco Bell" anyone???
Ok, Rave, hear you on the whine. Perhaps your local high school could help with the drugs........oops, did I say that...I guess you meant aspirin or something....hang in there, kid!!
Well, actually I would rather feel like a Boxer or Doberman.
Sorry you are feeliing low, Raven. I missed the gym this morning, but have my bag packed after I go ride tonight. And tomorrow I have a weight lifting orientation at the gym.
Have a good day all.
, and printed out the resume, directions, etc. I need to go figure out what I'm going to wear, and make sure I have pantyhose, etc. 
Glad to hear you're back on track. Best of luck. 
I'm crampy, moody, and pissed off at the world. And I want to cry. 
*sigh* I'll be ok, just wanted to whine.
