Thanks Skye! I only do what I think is right. You know making those quilts will be therapy for me in its own way. I often find peace during difficult times by being able to extend peace to others. Thanks to everyone who has extended prayers and condolances during this time of loss. God has been with us and He will continue to guide us in our grief as time goes on.

As for the program, I am fighting what seems to be a losing battle. All weekend I was basically in a fog and not even thinking about what I was doing. I can say that I am getting in all my water and then some. Today I am 100% on plan so far - what happened over the weekend is in the past and I cannot do anything to change it.

Since I am working out daily, I know I cannot trust the scale right now. The way my muscles feel, I know I am adding muscle mass which has got to be replacing what the fat cells are losing. With that in mind, I am concentrating on how I feel and my measurements to track my progress. The measurement method takes longer to see results, but I am not worried about that because I am "feeling" progress in other areas.

You can do it girlie! I've been quite the slacker in the workout area lately. You'll have to get me in gear when you're here! I'll be getting you from the airport in ONE WEEK! AH! I can't wait!

[rodeomom]

Hey RM,

I hope you guys have a great time

[aquarianskye]

Hey Katie, I've told everyone they're welcome to come down! We want to have a MF get together of sorts.

[rodeomom]

Katie - just meet me in Columbus and I will squoosh you into my suitcase alrighty! I got my ticket in exchange for Coke Rewards so I didn't pay a dime for the travel!

Ok, I couldn't take it anymore, after spending a hour unwrapping clearanced candy canes for the horses, I just had to go out to the barn. Alicia and I shared a love for horses and we often discussed their healing capabilities. I was really feeling down and just had to do it. What a refreshing time I spent out there. I was careful and just went out to the little barn and the small paddock where the horses could come to the fence. All I had to do was mention that I had peppermints and had all of them fighting for my attention.

Roxy, our most loving mare, just put her head over the fence and on my shoulder as if she knew I needed a friend. She is the one that may or may not be pregnant. Cash, our yearling that I am hoping to show this summer was there too, just pushing and shoving for attention. Of course Scout made sure he got his share of the candy too. They all did.

I feel more at peace now, than I have in a very long time.

Please allow me to brag a minute.....

This is Roxy, she is a Thoroughbred Barrel Racing Mare - maybe soon to be a mommy.

This is Scout, he is an Appaloosa (minus the spots) Barrel Racing Gelding. Deanna trained him from a weanling to the massive "man" he is now at 4 yrs.

And this is "Baby" Cash, our Quarter Horse yearling that I hope to show this summer.

To see more photos of our horses or videos of Deanna racing you can visit my Photo Bucket site... I also have all my before and during photos of my MF and TSFL journey on there.

Just stoppin in to say hi! I got my MF order in yesturday and I cant wait to try the crackers, I have been dying for something crunchy to eat , what do you think of the chili, I just got that in but havent tried it yet. well take care and I think the horses are cute (even if I am personally afraid of them ).

[rodeomom]

The chili seems to be one of those either you hate it or you love it. I haven't tried it, but my parents really like it. Biggest thing to remember with it is to let it soak for a good half hour or more before you nuke it or it will be crunchy. Many folks love to add hot sauce and other spices to it which is perfectly "plan legal".

I know many people are afraid of horses. They are big and intimidating. Ours are very loving and kind. They have seen me through many a difficult period in my life!

Hey lady! I see you've been pretty busy today with all that posting. Your looking forward to my butt kicking aren't you? Oh, and I forgot to mention that it's nice enough out most days that we can get some good walking in if you want that sort of exercise. When it's not too nasty out I walk to get my kids from school.

Gotta get dinner moving! Natives are restless.

[katesmom]

Hi Alicia,
I'll let Brenda explain since this is her journal ! It's a cute story !

Brenda-
I have just decided to weigh myself at work, because my TSFL scale is NOT working correctly...I bought it 2 years ago from an old TSFL health coach (I've fired her since then) and she was SURE it would be just what I needed...Well the Y^%$^%$ thing doesn't work right ! I have replaced the batteries several times and it just keeps giving me grief...In case you're wondering, it is not me sitting there not liking the number it is telling me...I can accept whatever it is, but I can't rely on it !
