Reaching For the Dreams....

Oh Xorie! I, for one, am really sad about the fact that your stable is going to be moved. :( I didn't realize one of the horses would be given away.:hug2: It sucks when parents just don't get it sometimes. My mom and my sister are fighting right now and I just dropped my crabby sister off at home because she wants to hole up in her room. Sometimes I just want to shake my mom and ask her why she doesn't get it! I'm happy you vented a little bit here, and I hope that your family offers some support for you regarding the horses soon.

I hope your good mood continues, and you're still working your way down that ticker, I'm so proud of you! That's AWESOME!!!!
 
I'm so sorry about all this. I'm still hoping that someone is going to save the day SOON & all this will have been a bad dream for you.

Hang in there & try to stay positive. Just keep saying it WILL be ok.
 
Lukewarm, If the rescue cannot find a new place, then the 25 horses we have will go to new homes, and will be split from each other, and from the volunteers that love and take care of them. We're scarmbling to find a new place as soon as we can, but it's hard.

My parents love me, and I know that, but my mom and I don't get along very well most of the time, and my dad is more interested in technology then in animals. :rolleyes: oh well. I can deal.

MoonGoddess I'm hoping that too. We need an angel... a very rich angel. Do you think anyone here knows Bill Gates? :D lol. Just kidding. We just had a fundraiser to raise awareness and some money, and it went well. We'll just have to see.
 
So how much would you guys have to raise to fund a location? Did the fundraiser cover at least a little bit of it? What a heartless person, shoving people off a scrap of land in such a hurry. It would be kind of them to perhaps allow for a 6 month time frame in which to perform such a transition. Ugh....

I don't really know the exact amount. I think right now, our only option is to rent again. There was one place, but he only wanted to sell. oh, and I know. We were all extremely pissed off that he said, 30 days. :mad: It's unreal. He just wants to be able to have all that we did to the land, and keep the horses. YEAH RIGHT!
 
well today was a bit of a whoops day.

Breakfast was a small bowl of cereal w/soymilk

Lunch: Small french dip and fries

Dinner: 1 small Arbys melt, 2 mozzerella sticks, and 4 fries, and 1/3 of a milkshake.

and throw in an apple and a banana.

I could have definately done without the arbys. And you know what? my stomach doesn't feel too good about the crap that I put into it. And on a sidenote, I like that. It means that I've been eating healthy enough to have my stomach register when crap is put into it. :D

I'll make up for it though. I'll do some walking and some "YMCA-ing" and get the extra cals gone! :)

I don't know, I'd really have to see what you're doing to really figure it. But, maybe you're hitting the ball off the side of your hand, rather than with the full palm of your hand. I'd suggest making sure that when you contact the ball for a serve or hit that you are using the full area of your hand to get the most control and support for your hit.

Going to the local YMCA. They have a workout room, and a cardio room, and a swimming pool. Tis fun.

I know. It was good though. The scale said I was 190 this morning, but most of that I think is water retention because of all the salt I ate. Hopefully I'll be back down soon.

Breakfast: 1 bowl fruity pebbles w/soymilk
 
Does the soy milk counteract the lack of nutrition of fruity pebbles? :D or does the fruity pebbles actually make the soy milk taste good :)

Now chocolate soy milk with cocoa puffs -thatd be tasty :D
 
Yeah salt sucks and up until a few days ago, I didn't even have any in my house, but my sister complained. So of course yesterday I sprinkled a little here on my steamed broccoli, and a little there on my egg whites. THAT'S IT, I'm throwing it out. Thanks for reminding me. That's great that you're going to the gym again, I am still shocked at how much I like it. I hope that you are having a beautiful day Xorie! :)

I only get fat free vanilla soy milk. I actually like it plain. :eek: that was a surprise for me.

And probably not on the counteraction of the soymilk, but that's ok. :D It tasted good.

Oh I'm having a beautiful day. It's 80 degrees here, and gorgeous!
 
Hi Xorie, I hope you had a good eating day and just wondering if you had fun with volleyball, or horses, or maybe that new job? When do you start?
 
I dont' start until the next show. Which isn't until July. But I can handle that. I might also be looking for another job too. Hopefully at a pet store or something.

I've had a couple of bad eating days. I need to get back on track. Someone please smack me. I really need to go to the Y soon, hopefully tomorrow, and I need to stop eating too much. But, three bad days isn't the end of the world. It's only if I continue with the bad days that things could get prickly...
 
sounds like you have slapped yourself. :)

But you are right. No time like now to get right back on track & no one better to do it for you than you. Good luck!
 
Ugh. No milk for breakfast. We're all out. :( so I had a pb&j sandwich instead. It was yummy.

191 this morning, but that's ok. Again, I think that it's salt intake. So i'm going to drink a lot of water to flush it out of my system. and it's going to be 80 degrees here today, so i'm going to a lake, and having fun *hopefully* and swimming. So there's some calories burned there.

Don't know what lunch will be. Probably a turkey sandwich, or some spinach raveolli. We'll just have to see.
 
Hey Xorie, sorry about the couple of bad days. You can do this! I think it's great that you're focusing on having fun, when you're outside and enjoying the weather it's easier to eat healthier in my opinion. I hope that your menu goes as planned and that you continue to make good choices, because you have the strength to do so! We're all here for you.
 
Ok, yesterday wasn't bad. (but it wasn't great either) And I went swimming. :D AND, my dad bought my mom a convertible for their 20th anniversery. It's cool. AND I got to play spy/accomplice in keeping my mom in the dark about the whole thing.

This morning, not so good. I had a bowl and a half of cereal. *sigh* I can't ever seem to really control myself in the morning, and it's rather frustrating. But oh well, I'll get it right sooner or later. Preferably sooner though...
 
What a great gift! What color! Well I know what you mean about breakfast, Risty suggested to me that I start having fruit and oatmeal because I can't control myself with cereal. So I've got the fruit part down, it's now a matter of actually eating bland oatmeal, but I have lots more calories to use for the rest of my day now, so it works well. I don't know if that's something you might want to try? I know that cereal is great though. Well I'm happy you had fun yesterday and that you were able to be an accomplice to the anniversary caper.
