The Fat Pony

So with the extra riding, my poor girl is getting tired. I am too and it is because we have taken the last four years off and have put a few pounds on. So I am going to post a picture of Mare as of today. She is a very fat pony.

"I am in shape. Round is a shape"

(She has not had a foal since 2004)

I would post pictures of me in a Swimsuit or Spandex, but I am sure that one would have nightmares...LOL

So you will just have to trust me on my looks. I am about 30lbs over what I want to be. I want to walk into a store and buy a size 9/10 jean (32 inch waist). Currently I am a size 12(36 inch). I carry my weight well and one would never guess that I am currently at 190. Two years ago I was topped out at 235(Size 18/20). With just watching what I ate and only eating what I truly wanted, I lost 45 lbs. Now I want to lose that last 30....

So the Mare and I are going to do it together...So in November I will post after pictures.

Good Day!!!

So I have gotten a lot accomplished in the last two weeks and boy do I feel great.

I have painted a ton of items. Built several jump standards. Cleaned all the windows, floors and laundry. And best of all, worked with my girls. Jewel is getting extra groundwork and Mare is getting lots of riding.

My arms hurt, but back is sore and my legs are tender. Man am I out of shape. Hopefully I will slim down a bit and look good in the swimsuit I just got.

So where am I overall:

The kids are back from camp and Jacob has one last camp to attend this year(wrestling camp, and it is local). Kayvon is taking kayak lessons on Tuesday evening and since they are at the pool it gives me a chance to do lap swims.

We canceled one shooting competition so far this year(time and gas money). The youth shoot was cancel due to lack of participants. So that leaves us just three competitions this summer.

We are also going to Sierra Trek(http://www.cal4wheel.com/). Both the boys are looking forward to it with excitement. Which is rare to have both boys excited about the same thing.....

Still no summer work, but I am okay with that and the bill collectors will just have to deal with it to...LOL

Otherwise, all is good and moving along.

Till the next edition...

An updated picture...

Of me and Mare...
