Contrary to what the title says, there has not been thunder and lightning here. However, there has been a ton of rain! Almost nonstop. Usually I get really cranky when it rains a lot because it means that I do not get to go riding. But at the ranch I board at now, there is a huge covered, all weather arena. So it does come in handy on those nonstop rainy days. Only downside to that is that this ranch has a huge amount of people that take lessons. So on the weekends you have to wait until the lessons are over to get the arena.
Ferris (formerly known as Kooper) is coming a long very nicely with his training. I cannot believe I wanted to give up on him and move on. But he is turning out to be an amazing horse. And I cannot wait to hit the trails with him when it stops raining. I would really like to take him out before I leave for my five day trip. I just know he will be full of it when I get back haha. But I am seriously now starting to really bond with this horse. Yesterday When I was riding I got off him to pick up my hat that fell, and he was following me around like a puppy. That is when I knew that he really did love me.
Lately the weather has been too bad to do any exercise outside and do my walks. And I have no gym since they are remolding the apartment gym. So I have not been working out. I know there is stuff to in my own home. But I get really bored and frustrated, and when I get in that state of mine it is impossible to get anything done. So I have no clue if I am losing weight or not. So I have restricted my calorie intake a little more than normal. I am supposed to be taking in about 1300 or so. And I am trying to not eat more then 1000. But I am finding that dam near impossible. I am always hungry and when I do not eat enough I get a horrible migraine, and since my stomach is practically empty, I cannot take a pain reliever or ill get sick. It is really a vicious cycle. Therefore, I have been averaging about 1200 or so. Which to me is not bad since I am not working out as much. So in my head I am eating too much. Supposedly, you burn calories exercising a horse. But I do not count my horse time as exercise. So In my head I am not doing anything. I also do not own a scale (I was using the gyms). So I have no clue what I weigh and if I should be eating less. Everyone says that I am starting to look good. But I still feel fat. Once the gym is back, I will be happy and not so obsessed.
I am expecting a boatload of packages coming my way. I did almost all my Christmas shopping online this year. I actually thought it was kind of fun. I think I did pretty good this year I got a lot for a little and my wallet appreciates that. I still need to hit the mall for some little things but other than that I am done!
Speaking of my wallet, Petco has still not called me about my training for dog training. I have officially given up on them. I really do not think they have a place for me. Which is sad because I was really excited and really needed a job. When I had to put Fen down I totally blew through all my savings. I was going to use that money to do my Christmas shopping and have some money towards a new saddle, since the one I have is too small for me and not the right kind I would eventually need. But what’s done is done I guess. I still need like $300 or so more dollars to finish my shopping. I’m going to see what more of my tack I can sell to get the money. Hopefully there is something of mine that is worth a little bit.
On another note Sydney is getting bigger. I think she has doubled in size since we got her. And almost has doubled in weight as well. I really love this little girl. I have wanted a dog for so long and I finally stopped complaining and got one! I feel bad for her because it has been raining and I have not been able to take her to the park. Next time I get to take her she is going to be nuts, that’s for sure! She is such a huge goofball. Some of the things she does is ridiculous but so funny at the same time. Everyone that meets her loves her.
Well I am off. I will try to write more often.
