NSV First goal met 2 months early!

I just knew I would have to lose twice as much as I have (40 pounds)... I was so sure that it wouldn't happen until around June after MUCH more exercise and stretching...  I had no idea that shaky yoga poses and little running in place steps with the Wii for 10 days in a row would make a difference in my strength and flexibility like it did.

Somebody reminded me that in order to find out if I liked the water I had to jump in the pool once; so, I took a leap of faith and jumped off the cliff and guess what caught me??

A horse named Larry!  

Yup!  For the first time in too many years to count, I was able to get on a horse and go for a trail ride and I'm not sore, and I didn't get leg cramps, and I'm grinning from ear to ear even though I have no excuse to take a muscle relaxer or stronger!  Darn!  LOL

I am so very jazzed because I'm a horsie person (wannabee I guess, since I don't own any), and Price for sure knows where I'm coming from about getting back on a horse. 

Even better news, DH was so glad I got to go that he committed to paying for it every two weeks as long as it is manageable.  And it didn't even take that much manipulating.      

Now to figure out where to scrounge the money for the other two weeks of each month so I can go every week like I WANT to go! 

Yippee Eye AAYYYYYY   Yippee Eye OH-ohhhh....   Happy Dancing around the room with 4 days to go to my 2 month post op anniversary.  Yeee-hawwww!

THIS alone makes it all worth it!

Thanks for letting me share with y'all.

Do it!  Do it!  Do it!!   Whatcha waitin' for????    :-))

Oh Ruthie, I am so happy for you.  I wish you were close and you could come ride my pony as much as you wanted.  She needs the work and I have trouble finding time to do my work and ride/drive both ponies.
Hurray for wrangler Ruthie and Larry.  Ride baby ride.   

OUCH!  I got a tear in my eye over the the thought Price!!  I wish I were there to help your pony get her exercise too!   wahhhhhh!

Ruthie, I'm so happy for your success!!  Bravo.  :)

Thank you Thank you Thanky you! 

 Congratulations! I bought a Groupon coupon for a three hour trail ride for my gift to myself for my 65th birthday next month. When I looked at the criteria, you had to be under 225 pounds. It made me cry to think I couldn't have gone before surgery. 

I loved riding when I was young. I didn't do much because of the cost, but I went every week with my best friend and hung out at the stables while she rode. It is such a happy memory.

You have such a great attitude, bravo!

Aww... thanks Wendy!!!  I'm excited for you being able to go next month for yourself!!  3 hours!!!  It'll be so awesome and worth every bit of soreness that might result from it.  haha  I can't wait to hear about it so promise me you'll get a picture taken and post about the victory, pleeeeeez?

(I'm waiting for my picture to arrive via email from another person's camera.....)

congratulations on such an awesome accomplishment!  i'm so very happy for you!
