I have been walking twice a day around the local lake, which is a mile all the way around, and I just got a new, extra job...I'm working at a riding stable cleaning the barn and working with the horses for a couple of hours each day. I went out today for my first day, and I was cleaning out stalls, which involves scooping up the poop, and lifting it about waist height to put it in the bucket, over and over again lol. There are about 5 stalls that I have to clean, then I swept the barn, which took about 30 minutes. I'm tired but man, I can just feel the pounds yelling at me because I'm burning them away so fast! I'm excited, I'll have to post some pictures of the horses on here soon, there are some gorgeous ones out there.

Wow!  When do you find time to go to class and sleep?  You are one busy girl!  You should be disappearing at a rapid rate. 

How is life with the new scooter to get around on?  Are you having a blast?  It must be really easy to park on campus with that little cutie.

I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)

Well, I can't ride the scooter to class yet, since I don't have my license for it yet lol I'm hoping to get it this week sometime.  I haven't quite figured out where on campus I am going to park it, as they are taking out a big chunk of parking spaces to make into a lawn, grounds sort of thing in between two of the buildings.

Timing isn't too bad, since I'm only out at the barn a couple of hours a day, and during the week, it's always going to be after 5, so I still have time to work 20 hours on my campus job and take all my classes. I typically keep myself really busy during the school year, it makes things go by a whole lot faster.


I do have to say though, I got home and took a cold shower, which felt amazing by the way lol, and then sat down to watch the Olympics, and I took like a 2 hour nap and my shoulders are screaming at me seriously lol. I'm a little sore, but this was just the kick in the butt that I needed to get me back in the swing of things.

I hadn't paid any attention to the BMIs.  You are right!  Wonder who will move first?  My bet is on you.  My body already gave up the weight it will for about another 8- 10 days. 

I am sure you will get your license pretty quickly and then can enjoy that new baby.

Working as a "stable girl" has always been on my things I want to do some day.  (My list of aspirations is odd to say the least).  But, it's the whole early morning thang that gets in my way.

Cleaning barns, mucking stalls, and working with horses is definitely not for the faint of heart. You'll be at your goal in a few days at this rate!!! : )
Blessings and Best Wishes! Shelly
