I will.
and even though I've gained weight, people keep telling me that I look like I've lost a lot of weight. makes me smile. Because even though i'm not losing weight I'm toning and gaining muscle by working with the horses.
still at 205 but i saw 204 before it popped back up.

I imagine those horses do give you a bit of a workout!
Don't stress over those numbers. The changes in your body seem more important to me. You will get there. Just do what you know you need to do & stay dedicated to doing this for yourself.

ugh...
I hate the holidays...
I gained 5 more pounds...and I can't seem to stop myself from eating! I know as I'm eating that I shouldn't be and yet I still do. It gets rather frustrating... I am hoping that with a new year, I can turn over a new leaf and really get back in control. Though, as I write that, I can think of how many times I have said that and haven't really done what I say that I am going to do. That in itself is frustrating as well. I do this over and over again, and yet can't seem to really get back in control and end up gaining more and more. I swore I'd never see two hundred again.. and I have...I swore I'd never see 210 again.. and yet when I stood on the scale this morning...there it was, staring back at me...
oh well, All I can hope is that with this new year, I can really turn myself around and get my act back together again. It would be really nice to be 40lbs lighter by the time I go to ireland in the summer.
That's the other thing. I have to save 300 dollars by March in order to secure my grandmother reserving flights and whatnot for our ireland trip. I get to go! I'm so excited! This will definately keep me from eating out when I have money! So that's a plus. and maybe with the saving money, it will help me to keep focus on the goal, Ireland, and I would LOVE to wear some new clothes for the trip.

Tell me about it. On monday I got pretty banged up... I was bitten, almost run over, got rope burn, bruised my hand when one of the horses "freaked" in the cross-tie area and broke out of the crossties. Then I was slammed against the wall by the same horse, got the wind knocked out of me, then she did it again... twas fun.
Then I got on Charles to ride, and I'm STILL sore. Posting for 10 min is NOT fun. lol.

yay! I was good today! Only one bowl of cereal for breakfast! Go me!...I haven't had only one bowl in a LONG time. I think that the new challenge that I'm in will really help me...especially since those with the least amount of points will be thrown off the team! I don't want to be thrown off the team! It's a great idea for a challenge!
Am going to my granite falls job today, and am going to get really dirty! These horses really love getting extremely dirty and then as I groom them...well this quote says it all...
"Grooming- verb the process of transfering the dirt from the horse to the groom!"
Anyway, have a great day everyone!

oh I plan on it. You put Jacqui and horses together and you get FUN!
I'm probably one of the very few people in the area who can actually say that I LOVE my jobs!

yeah, most people spell it differently. Jackie, Jacky, jacquie, jaci, jaqui...the list goes on and on. I usually tell people I'll give them a dollar if they can spell my name right on the first try!
Anytime you're in Washington (western) give me a hollar and I'll hook you up to meet some horses! Goodness knows I work with enough of them... *counts* um...I think 53 horses in all!

ok, wasn't so hot with breakfast, but then, I won't have time to eat lunch today, and ate a bigger breakfest to get me through the day.
Yesterday however, was amazing. I was so good I surprised myself! and I had the best tasting sandwich ever! it was smoked turkey and cranberry orange relish, and cream cheese on a baguette! pretty amazing acutally.
Today is the fist start of the challenge for me, and I'm super excited! It's a "do good or get kicked off" challenge, based mostly on Biggest Loser. I can't wait!

That sandwich sounds AMAZING! YUMMMMM. 
Good luck with the challenge today. (I'm in it too) I bet you'll do great! Not so sure about myself though! lol.
I love to read your journal because you are around the same age as me, and we have the same troubles with weight loss. You seem to be doing spectacularly.
Cheers to losing weight in 2008!

I wouldn't say spectacularly.... lol. It's more of an uphill battle. But I'm getting there. You and I will win! I hope to go against you in the finals!
We can do it! I need to start reading yours! I'm so bad at keeping up with other people's journals...usually just get on, write in mine, and then go. oh well. I will be better. New year's resolution.
