Weigh-In #7

Yay! An on time post! As you will quickly notice, I have decided on a goal weight. My husband and I have been talking about the future and based on my body type, it is ideal for said future. Of course, if I get below this goal weight before said future begins, you won't see me complaining.

Starting Weight:  Goal Weight:  Current Weight:

197.0 lbs 165.0 lbs 179.0 lbs

If you've been following this series you'll note that in the past two weeks I've gained four pounds. :'(

In all fairness, I was pretty sick. I'm still feeling it too. Almost fell off my horse yesterday when my lungs decided to seize up and cause me to sound like a honking goose. As luck would have it, Chloe, who had been a rambunctious energizer bunny the entire lesson, stood stock still while I got my breath back. She's over 16 hands, so she's between 64 and 68 inches tall at just the top of her shoulder (aka withers), which my head barely clears. Sure, the arena has soft super awesome rainbowliscious footing, but tall horsey is tall.

Plus knowing she pays attention to me makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. :)

That incident aside, I have most of my health back, so I'm starting back up with my diet. Breakfast first thing in the morning, shakes for lunch and protein rich dinners. You can click here for specifics.
