Just Too Darn Busy Having Fun!

I'm still down 4 pounds and I lost a couple of inches from my waist, but I've sort of stalled. I think I should probably go back to tracking for a while to see where I might be over-doing it.

Eating low carb has turned out to be very easy and makes me feel better anyway, so it's a win win. If I don't lose more weight, then whatever. As long as my horse's knees don't buckle under me, we're good!

Since I got the truck and trailer, Maddie and I have been out and about having the time of our lives!

We met my friend Carla and her horse Rain at a Gymkhana in Livermore where we took 2nd place over all in our division! In case you don't know, Gymkhana is barrel racing, pole bending, etc. The horse and rider are timed and the fastest horse with no penalties wins! We were just doing it for fun and didn't go too fast. We were also in the most novice group! But I was very proud of my baby girl. She's always up for anything!

Here is Carla and I:


My Champion!


Then I took a drive out to Livermore to ride with my childhood friend Linda! We got our first ponies together when we were 10 years old - Baby Doll and Little Vick. Then we got our big horses at around the same time when we were 12 or so - Mandy and Duffy. We haven't ridden together in 30 years! What a treat!

Here we are in Sunol Regional Park!


One of our first solo trailer rides was to Sycamore Grove Park in Livermore:


I'm afraid people won't be seeing too much of me when the weather is nice!
