Here's to a better week.

At least I hope... I figure if I say and think it enough it will happen. You know something like subliminal messaging.

Anyways, this weekend was pretty good. Got a great work out on Saturday. Went early in the morning and picked up another 100 bales of hay. That is a load off my mind as I was really worried about getting hay for my horses this year, prices went up so dramatically and people are hoarding all there hay hoping that the shortage will drive up prices even further this winter. But I had to load and unload them all that day and that is a great workout. My brother did come and help me which is a good thing.. Afterwards me & Randy took 2 horses to a nearby equestrian park and rode what is a judged trail ride. It is a trail ride through the woods and it has specific obstacles set up and at different points throughout.. You are judge as to how well your horse handles the situation. It was pretty fun and we both did very well. My brother was pretty sore the next day but I felt great..

I also am trying to get ready for my trip coming up .. I am leaving in weds morning and I hope everything goes well. I am really looking forward to this ride. I spent all day yesterday getting tack and such ready. Boy sometimes I think it is harder to get horses & gear ready then it is to have a bunch of kids. I am taking all 3 of my horses which mean I have to bring enough food, hay, buckets , and saddles and of course a bunch of other extra tack as I may need it if something breaks. I am loaded to the gills and more then likely will only need 1/2 of it. lol.. you know you always bring too much. But I guess better safe then sorry as It is not like I will be close to home and can run back and get something.

Now on to my health. I am feeling pretty good but this weekend I did really bad in the protein department. I really did not eat much at all, I was just too busy. (90 lbs ago I would have spent the weekend on the couch) I need to stay on top of my protein but for some reason when it comes to protein I just can't get enough I have no problems at all with taking my vitamins and such but protein is a whole other story. I would like to think I lost some poundage this weekend too but being that I did not eat much I probably stayed the same as my body probably went into starvation mode. It is very strange that I now don't think of food the way I used to. (at least for the most part) I mean before my whole day would consist of figuring out what my next meal will be and now it is the exact opposite. I now have to make a conscience effort to remember to eat specially if I am busy or unless I am stressed out, then the evil part of mind takes over.

Well I guess that it all for now. I hope you all have a great Monday !!
