honey, I'm home

My camping trip with the ponies to Catoosa Ridge in Tennessee is over. It was a great trip and I had a blast. The facility was beautiful and although they had gotten 10inches of rain, the trails were great. Both ponies were fun and I loved all the visiting with friends. the weather couldn't have been better. Did okay eating. I made sure I got my protein and vits in, had a few more carbs than usual but was doing a lot more exercise than usual. I love my camping trailer. It makes all the food stuff so much easier when you can bring and fix whatever you need to.

One friend I hadn't seen in a few years had lost 80lbs this year, the old fashion way. I was very proud of her but also a little sad because she had such a diet mentality. When I would take a bite of potato or desert, she would not. She was really limiting herself and it obviously had been working, but I wondered if it would forever. She also increased her exercise so maybe it will work, I hope so.

Now only 3 more weeks until the trip to Ky. Woo hoo.

Forgot to add, while I was gone, I had my anniversary. 9-9-10 was my surgery date and today a year ago I was coming home from the hospital about 100lbs heavier, instead of coming home from a camping trip. I could have never done what I did this trip if I was still carrying all that extra weight.

 That is awesome!!  Welcome home!  I have had horses since a kid, but I have never taken a camping trip with them, I have always wanted to do that!!  When I get out of school, I am hoping to move back to Kentucky, if I do, we will have to ride/camp together!!!!

I love camping and love the ponies.  It's really fun to get to do it all at the same time.

 We're  one  big step closer to having my horsey dream  cometrue t oo .   We finally signed thecontracts on the  same house AGAIN ...  and  we finally have an approval AND a tentative closing date YAY !!  

 next -  closing , painting , and buildinga garage / barn   and rescuing a thoroughbred !!  Whoppee  !!   

I put it in the wrong place.  Anyway, lots of great horses need forever homes.  Good luck making it to closing this time.

Oh Price, you are an inspiration....truly!

Glad you and the ponies had a great trip........a 100 pounds and a year ago makes such a difference doesnt it???!!  Amazing!!!

Thanks, Jennifer.  No way I could have done all the walking and toting stuff, much less driven 2 ponies a day for 4 days with an extra 100lbs.

Welcome home and happy surgiversary, Price!
