Well I finally have some news regarding my dog training mentor sessions with Petco. They called me and want me to start doing sessions this Sunday. I am very excited and thankful. I honestly thought they would never call me back again and that I was going to have to search for a new job. I have no clue what to expect from these sessions. I hope it leads to a job that I can semi enjoy.
I am in full-blown Christmas mode. I find myself humming holiday tunes constantly. Heck, when I was in the shower I was belting out “Grandma got ran over by a rein dear”. I still need to get myself a santa hat to wear around. I have almost completed my holiday shopping except for some bits and pieces. I scaled down on some of my ideas to save myself some money. I know I am going to have over three hours of wrapping ahead of me. That ought to burn a couple calories.
Speaking of calories, yesterday I had a huge opps with my diet. I tried on one of my outfits I plan on wearing for the holidays and I hated the way I looked in it. I looked like a pregnant slob. I was so mad that it looked so good on me in the store but as soon as I tried it on at home it looked ugly. Anyway I got depressed after that and ate a generous portion of Robby’s trailmix. Its full of nuts and chocolate which equals to tons of fat. I have not had a food meltdown in a month so I was so disappointed with myself. But instead of making more bad decisions I went right back on track with my diet. And I did not eat anything the rest of the day since I went way over my daily calorie allowance.
Trying to eat less than 1200 calories is extremely hard for me. I am constantly starving which I think was one of the contributing factors of my food meltdown. I will allow myself to go up to 1300 but that has to be it. I noticed it is becoming very difficult to lose weight this week. I know I have not been as active as I can be but I am watching what I eat and ignoring my horrible cravings. I still go on walks when the weather is good. It is so frustrating knowing how good I can look. And I just don’t want to be as fat as I was ever again. One thing that makes me so mad is all these skinny people around me can eat whatever they want and stay perfectly thin and I have to practically starve myself to be borderline obese. Uhh whatever.
Today was a pretty good day for me. Robby and I work up early and went to see Ferris. I gave him a good workout in the arena. He is doing extremely well in his training. Then practiced opening the gate while I’m on him. He was not quite sure what I was asking of him. All I wanted him to do was stand still while I lean over to undo the hitch thing. Of course being a young horse he was moving all over the place. But after a couple of tries he got the general idea. As I went to open it one last time the gate slipped out of my hand and slammed him in the butt. I felt really really bad but he could care less. Any other horse would have freaked the freak out. But he was so good. I plan on taking him on a nice trail tomorrow if the weather stays nice.
Then I took Princess Sydney to her favorite place. The dog park. And she played with her many boyfriends (she is a very popular girl). Its funny most of the people that hang out at the dog park during weekday afternoons are in their late 40’s-60’s. They always tease me on how I am the youngest person there. But they are very nice and let me join in on their chats. Their chats are usually gossip about other dog park goers, or the silly things their husbands do. I do enjoy listening in though. It’s quite entertaining. The people that bring their dogs on the weekend are another story. People of all ages are there. However, I am usually riding on the weekends.
I have not written about my nutty cats in a long time. Sundance and I are not on good terms since I brought Sydney home. But he has always been a daddy’s boy. Panda is still very annoying and is always meowing. I wish he had an off button, especially in the middle of the freaking night when he insists on carrying on with his talking. And KT rarely makes an appearance anymore. She hangs out in our den and comes out when the dog is in her crate. None of the cats really care for Sydney.
Well thats it for now.
Nighty night peeps
