Great weekend!!! Used lots of lysol!!!
This has been a GREAT weekend. Saturday I completed one of my goals I set. My daughter has wanted to go Horseback riding ever since she was little. I could never take her because I was too heavy. Most riding stables have a limit of 250-270 lbs. Well, Saturday we went riding at Forever Florida Eco Safaris. It was great. They didn't even ask me my wieght when we signed in and I heard them ask the people in front of us!!!
Then today I got on the scale and I was down to 240 lbs. I have now lost a total of 100 lbs!!!!

Outstanding! 
I grew up on a farm and we had horses, and I never caught the bug. As a kid I'd rather walk 5 miles than to saddle up and have to jack with a horse. Still would. So as you might guess, both of my daughters were crazy about horses when they were little.
Vacation in SW Colorado and guess what? There's a stable close to where we're camping and they both want to ride the horsies. So I break down and sign up for all four of us to go. I wish this stable had had a weight limit. I was probably about 325 back then, but they had this big ol' 1500 lb mare that didn't even grunt when I crawled up on her. I was wearing a tshirt, gym shorts, and tennis shoes. No underwear. After about 4 hours up and down the Rocky Mountains, I was pretty sure I'd wasted money on my vasectomy as there's no way I was still fertile after that. My sack and that saddle had roughly the same relationship as a worn out basketball and an asphalt slab somewhere in the inner-city.
The things we do for our kids.

The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.
I'm way too heavy to go horseback riding but I like watching some of the shows dealing with horses on RFDTV. Of particular interest are the shows about Paso Finos. This is a breed of horse that has a special gait. The gait allows the rider to sit level and not bounce up and down on the horse. It's supposed to be much more relaxing than regular horseback riding. From what I've seen on the shows, there are several Paso Fino groups in Fla--probably mostly in the Gulf Coast area. Try Googleing Paso Fino for more info. You probably won't get saddle sores when you ride them.
