Week Six & Does This Hat Make My Butt Look Big?

So, the carb-cycle thing isn't really working anymore. Possibly because I didn't slingshot and I didn't follow the rules exactly. But I do feel leaner, even if the scale is being stubborn.

But never fear! I learned a really important lesson this week. When all else fails, buy a big cowboy hat! Here I am "playing cowgirl" in my new hat and no, I don't have chew in my mouth.

Looking at the picture, I realized that the width of the hat does wonders for the width of my hips. So I'm just gonna stop this dieting nonsense and wear the hat all the time instead. To work, to the grocery store, out walking, why limit myself?

On a more or less serious note, I did download the Lose It! app for my NEW IPHONE 4S! I love my phone, and I love the app. It's just fun to keep track of my food and exercise. I don't think of it as an obsession, I think of it as a fun way to keep myself accountable and in good health!

My next blog post will be next week. I have tomorrow and Monday off and will be attending the Buck Brannaman clinic in Hollister Fri, Sun, and Mon. And riding in a Ray Berta clinic on Saturday in Carmel Valley. I'm taking this horse thing real serious (even talking like a cowboy). We're supposed to be getting a heat wave this weekend - highs in the 80's! I'll get to wear my new hat!!

Here is another picture of me n' my hat but with my horse this time, at least the part of her big head I could get in the picture (maybe she needs a hat). I'm pretty excited about my hat.

And here is my hat on my dog. Just because. I call this one: "There's a new sheriff in town!" And I think we might photo shop little cowboy boots on her, a vest and a badge....The hat even makes our fat dog look thinner!

Cowgirl Up!
